If you tend to enjoy when I share my poems on here, would you like to receive an occasional email with a selection of my poems? I'm working on getting a collection published, and am still submitting to journals etc, but I'd like to share my work in the meantime with some readers.

My wife interviewed parents whose adult children all remained Catholic. One commonality was a father who was firm in discipline, gentle with the kids, played with them, and prayed with them. In other words, if you imitate the Father, your kids have a better shot at knowing Him

It seems to me that every great movement of spiritual revival in the Church of England - the Caroline Divines, Methodism, the Evangelical movement, the Tractarians - has had a major emphasis on the consciousness of individual sin & the urgency of personal repentance & holiness

In group chats with DC professional people the only Tapback they ever use is “!!” because it’s the most ambiguous and offers the most plausible deniability. I feel like the past 5 years I’ve spent in this city can be summarized with this observation.
