I hope this email never finds you. I hope a single shaft of light pierces the broken ceiling, giving life to saplings and ferns. I hope the old computer went dark years ago, and the office smells of moss and wild spores. I hope that you are free.

Steve Carrell’s performance as Michael Scott is honestly so brilliant. The fact that he sustained such a perfectly weird character for that long—and consistently inhabited it day after day. He should have gotten an Emmy. This is the great injustice of Hollywood.

Having written about Christians from persecuted nations for awhile, I can attest that most pastors and other believers didn’t want us to pray that persecution would lift. In fact, they said persecution actually strengthened the church and their dependency on Christ.

You guy might think I’m being pretty harsh toward MAGA on here, but I assure you, the amount of times I’ve chosen compassion over, “you’re a real dumb dumb, you know that?” is astounding.

Was listening to Spotify tonight and some metal started playing. Ya’ll, I haven’t listened to this stuff since I was married to the bass player of Christian metal/hardcore band in the early 2000’s. No joke.
One of the stories in my upcoming collection was inspired by that relationship.

I think The Brutalist came around at just the right time. Americans needed to be exposed as the sick and twisted country we are toward immigrants.

Reading Steinbeck’s East of Eden and thinking about the exploration of our family histories.
Cloud of Witnesses and their Stories
The semi-biographical content in East of Eden, the exploration of author’s family history, caused me to ponder a recent obsession with my own family history.
