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.…
A while back, I posted something about a meme that I saw making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter. The meme in question caused some deep-seated discomfort for me, because I didn’t like the implications. So I rambled about it via a very short story and, much to my surprise,…
I apparently went silent again, didn’t I? If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that occasionally, I’ll disappear from my own website/blog. It happens from time to time, mostly due to whatever it is I’m experiencing in “real life.” As I get busier as a pastor, it…
