To everyone who used to read the posts on Connected Christianity, I apologize for the lack of new material over the past eight months. I’ve just been busy with a toddler.
With renewed conviction, I’ll start posting Bible reflections and other thoughts with more regularity from now on. So check back often. And I promise to […]

Thank God for Willie Nelson!
Recovering in bed after the skillful hands of a surgeon removed about twelve inches of my colon, my spirit is being refreshed by the skillful voice and hands of a master musician. A short stack of favorite CDs lay next to the bed, but the one receiving the most […]

We’ve been out of commission for a few weeks. Let’s get it started again with a few links, including Fnugg…the truth of stories…counting with your fingers…moonbow…Godtube…kid stuff…and closing with the finish.
