Theology That Bites Back
So just a quick note to say that Nancy and I had the opportunity to go see The Jesus Revolution last night. Man, what a time capsule that was. The movie was well done, and we appreciated many things about it. They really captured the excitement and the good weirdness of that excitement, and they …
Introduction: If you scroll down to the bottom of this thing, you will readily ascertain that this post is partly “Autobiographical Fragments,” and partly “Shameless Appeals.” So allow me to dispatch the autobiographical fragments part first. When I was in the Navy, before they let me anywhere near the water, I went through boot camp, …
The memorial service for my father, Jim Wilson, is going to be this coming Wednesday. There will be a song service at 10 am (Pacific), and the memorial service will begin at 11 am. The service will be live streamed (the link for which is here) for those who cannot join us. There will also …
My father was born October 6, 1927, and he entered into glory last night, May 25, 2022. As we remember his life and legacy in the days to come, I will obviously have more to say, but I wanted to register one central thing at the outset. I wanted to thank God for giving me …
Introduction: I first subscribed to National Review when I was still in high school. This was probably around 1969, which means that I have been a dutiful subscriber for around 53 years now.

Introduction: Allow me to write, if I may, a little bit about some of the doings in our little town. This is my artistic interpretation of this irony-ridden event. It may not be evident from this work, just a sketch really, but I once took some courses from the Juilliard School of Cartooning Arts and …
I wanted to thank all of you who have been praying for my younger sister Heather and her family, the Torosyans. It is with grief that I have to inform you that she passed away yesterday, but in resurrection hope we know she is now with the Lord. To be absent from the body is …
Introduction: This will be one of those posts that will necessarily be a bit self-referential from time to time, but I will keep all that to a minimum, at least as much as possible. As edifying as it might be for me to write at length about myself, I have a nagging feeling somewhere in …
Sorry to break it to you all like this, but I am going off on vacation. During this said vacation, who will be blogging away here like usual? Not I, said the little black duck. At the same time, since we know that at least some of you have a worrisome dependency problem, we have …
