A Welcome

Welcome, gentle reader, to my blog! I have but meagre expectations for this space. Even still, I hope you may find something of value here. I am considering this space my own personal travelogue, a diary of sorts if you will: a place to collect thoughts and reflections as I traverse through life on the Jesus Path. My posts won’t all fit within a neat category, even still, you can expect to find posts within four broad categories:

What I’m Reading - I like to read, mostly within the realm of theology or spirituality, but I am also a massive fan of historical, narrative, non-fiction. So posts under the category #whatimreading will generally fall under faith or historical page-turners.

Goats On Cows - I am always looking for goats on cows, those moments that fall somewhere between causality and coincidence, the purely random and obviously purposeful. I am convinced that God is at work in those moments, and when we notice them, an invitation awaits. Posts under #goatsoncows will feature those moments, events, songs, happenings that grab my attention and have me looking for an invite.

Postcards from the Path - Reflections on the journey of faith. Posts under #postcards could be musings on sermons I have given, the Bible, faith, community, or some other half-baked idea I am trying on for size.

Life Is Awkward - If I had to choose one word that sums up my own experience of life, it would just have to be “awkward.” Posts under #awkward will simply recount, diary style, my awkward encounters in the world or what it feels like to, as Karl Rahner would say, “live in the torment of the insufficiency of everything attainable.”

So, that is the plan, but who knows where this will lead?
