When someone on the Internet tells me that Western tradition is dying, I (1) look up academic presses to see how many books on Augustine are being published this year, (2) go outside and throw a rock and see if it hits something Western tradition made. “Hm,” I think, wondering what death is again.

Facebook reminded me about when I went to a small-town Pride picnic with our local churches...

My denomination drives me nuts sometimes, but I'll say: I'm grateful that I ALWAYS knew the one community that *would* receive me in full was Jesus' church.

Did a funeral today—awful circumstances.
But I was steeled by this view: the cemetery gates were busted open in a recent storm.
“Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last, and the Living One. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.”

This is deeply sad news.
I was privileged to get to know David in his seminar on “The Theology of Luther and Calvin”—more appropriately titled “Pure Protestantism According to David Demson.”
I loved every minute of it.
