Traveling Song
Today was a travel day for me. Late out of Honolulu, late out of LAX, but still a good day into Nashville. Not much sleep, but already time well-spent. This song, a Caedmon’s classic, always comes to mind on such … Continue reading

Watching the Doctor Fall
It’s almost a wrap for this season of Doctor Who on BBC America. Last week’s episode had its moments, but I’m not sure how it’s all going to come together to create a greater whole. And one big question: will … Continue reading
The Drive to Easy-Everywhere
A few weeks ago I spent some time reflecting on some of the high points of Andy Crouch’s The Tech-Wise Family. It is, in my opinion, a book that everyone should read, Christian or not, single or married. The folks … Continue reading
Time and the Doctor
Tonight brought the season (and perhaps series) finale to Fargo on FX. This season was built well, hit lots of solid notes over the course of 10 episodes. The law enforcement end of the story didn’t click as well as … Continue reading

Song for Sowing
One last post of recent Andrew Peterson concert clips. It’s a bit long, but you get some nice conversation from Peterson as the clip begins.
Doctor Who and the Doorway
Here’s the trailer for “The Eaters of Light,” the next episode in the current series of Doctor Who. This season, Capaldi’s last, has been underwhelming at best. Which is unfortunate, as I think he brings a great sense of balance … Continue reading
“Rise Up, Oh Sleeper”
Well, I think I’m “done” enough that I can enjoy some summer vacation for a few days. All of the necessary paperwork is done, for sure. I’ll have to pick up some threads next week. It’s been a good day, … Continue reading
