So What?
I started this blog in mid-2009 with no expectation I’d continue writing here for any length of time. Somehow, however, during the 2010s I managed to publish 1,800 posts.
As a follower of the Way of Jesus, I’m convinced that we are all called to do our part to make the world a better place for all people. I’m hopeful that my writing here has and will continue to encourage others to more fully experience God’s love and more generously love God and love neighbor.
