Arlington – The Six Corners

Beauty

Last Sunday I delivered the sermon at my church. I’ve done some part-time preaching over the past couple years, and both the congregation and I have really enjoyed the experience. This time I talked about my pilgrimage to the Six Corners and the Bible verses that had inspired me both during and in between myContinue reading “Beauty”

Olde and New: A Gosnold Gathering

You don’t have to travel as far as Kauai to find some captivating corners; several are closer to home yet can seem further away. Exhibit A: I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been to LA, but until yesterday, I had never visited the Massachusetts island of Cuttyhunk.

But in the meantime, something happened which got me thinking about our AmericanContinue reading “Know When to Walk Away: A Patriotic Interlude”

Prologue Part 2: Taking a Walk

March and April 2020 were two of the toughest months of my life. The fear I felt was matched only by the speed with which everything fell apart. A week after returning from Kauai, I hopped back on a plane to LA to take care of some screenwriting business. In retrospect, it seems so stupendouslyContinue reading “Prologue Part 2: Taking a Walk”
