Just a quick note to apologize for intermittent blogging and to say that I hope to be back in full swing soon. Last week really took a lot out of me, what with the Patriot Tour and then E’s trip down to New Orleans. Things are still going on with […]
Some of you all know that my wife has written a novel, The Unlikely Missionary. Well last night we began recording her audio version of the novel. The Prologue is up and it will all soon be available through iTunes. This is a story about a young college graduate woman […]
CNN has featured a friend of mine who is rector of St. Anna’s in New Orleans. Bill and his wife are remarkable people who have come through great struggles of their own, even before Katrina, to serve God in ministry. What adds to the distress is that one would hope […]

As I mentioned, I am in Chi-town on business. I left State College yesterday evening after a full day of meeting, greeting, and registering next year’s freshmen. (PSU has a great spring/summer on campus registration program so we have already met our new students!) I arrived in Cinci safe and […]
