By my reckoning, it has been a year and a half since I’ve written a post here. A year and a half. Holy cow. So where have I been? Well, obviously not here. But while I may have left my blog and my website go fallow, there’s a couple of…
What a difference a week makes. Shortly after I watched The Last Jedi, I decided to compile a list of some serious and not-so-serious questions that I had after viewing the movie. Rather than include them in my spoiler-free review, I had decided to write a new post, one that would…
Every now and then, a meme will make the rounds that gets stuck in my craw. It’s happened to me a few times before. And rather than just brush it off and go about my life, I feel the urge to do something about it. Sometimes it’s as simple as…
Last week, I went to the special IMAX presentation of Marvel’s latest TV series, The Inhumans. And, like I said in my review, I was mostly “whelmed” by the experience. Not over-, not under-, just plained whelmed. It was a perfectly serviceable superhero TV show with its own unique strengths…
It would appear that I fell into some sort of space/time rupture there and now I’m just emerging. Well, that’s not the case. I apparently wound up taking a little bit of a hiatus from the blogging world again. Sorry. It happens sometimes. So why did I go dark this…

A few weeks ago, the teaser trailer for Episode VIII hit the Internet and, I’ll be honest, I kind of lost it. In a good way, I promise. For those who missed it, here it is again: One of the most interesting comments I heard about this trailer was that,…
Okay, so I’m a little late in doing this. Actually, I’m a little late in taking care of a lot of things. For example, in my last The Lutheran Difference post, I asked for your questions and promised that I would answer them. And then I didn’t. I have two…
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…
By this point, you may have noticed that I’m kind of a big geek. I’m okay with being called that. It’s an accurate assessment of my personality. And I’ve experienced a lot of geeky things. But there’s one thing that I never done, and I actually kind of feel sad…
