I grew up in Western New York and have started and led missional church planting efforts for a little over 30 years. As you might gather, I have opinions about the church, and I share some of them here.

Brief Thoughts on Chaim Bloom…the Day After
Now that Chaim Bloom has been fired, I do feel bad for him. Last night I did a happy dance around the kitchen once I saw the news. By every account, he was a really good person. Of course, my wife is a really good person, but I don’t want her running the Red Sox…

Dog Gone Funny
This popped up in a feed today, so I thought I’d share it here. Although I never met him, the guy who created Marmaduke graduated from the same high school as I did.

Station Eleven
Finished Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel 📚 The book I read prior to this had an interesting story, but I was frustrated with how one-dimensional the characters were. Station Eleven was so well written. In the second chapter of the book, I began thinking, “I thought this was a dystopian novel.” Then the…
I remember when the Red Sox had a GM (baseball ops) that was good at his job. I remember when the Red Sox had owners who cared. I miss those days. ⚾️
