I’ve been silent on this blog for some months now. Not that I haven’t been writing, I just haven’t been writing consistently or online. The events of the past few months have driven me inward, forcing me to contemplate aspects of faith and life that have been largely ignored or little explored before now—aspects like violence, pacifism, war, nationalism, and others. Have I arrived at staunch conclusions about all of them? Certainly not. But it is time to collect my random musings, put fingers to keys, and start writing online again. Not for you, dear readers, but for me. The exercise of writing helps us reason and think. It is therapeutic. It can lead to prayer. It can prompt worship.

It’s time to shine the light of my thoughts into the deep expanse of the interwebs and just write.
