So you’d think that someone as geeky as me would have lived on a steady diet of C. S. Lewis, especially given the fact that I’m a pastor’s kid. Once again, you would be wrong. I didn’t read C. S. Lewis until I was in the Seminary but when I…
Before we get started, I need to get this out of the way: In this post, I’m going to be dropping lots of spoilers about movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you haven’t seen these movies and don’t want them ruined, stop reading now. You have been fairly warned.…
Last time I was in the confessional, I admitted that there was a period of time where I tried my hand at writing screenplays. Like most of my writing projects, I fully intended for this to someday be consumed by the general public. In the case of my movie scripts,…
I’ve gone through some odd phases in my writing career. When I was in high school, I started writing what could best be described as Christian science fiction and fantasy. I even tried submitting one of the manuscripts to a literary agent. One I found in the phone book. And…

So last night, I went to see Captain America: Civil War and I’m still in shock from how awesome it is. This is easily the best superhero movie I’ve ever seen. Here’s a quick summary of the story: the Avengers are still assembling to take out bad guys, only they’re…
This past Sunday evening, I dipped my toe back into the blogosphere (do they still call it that?) and asked some questions about what you’d want to see in my little corner of the internet. If you haven’t taken the time to share your opinion yet, please do so now!…
