The must of old
book tickled my
nose, provoking a
sneeze which never
came; all my senses
absorbed by page.
I'm transported to
a different time and
place, but I'm still the
same. My mind swims,
my soul drowns in
the wave of yesteryear
washing over me.

In my most recent podcast I got to speak with Sandhya Jha about their book "Rebels, Despots and Saints: The Ancestors who free us & the Ancestors we need to free." Sandhya is wise and their book is well worth your time. This was a great conversation: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

I took my 8-yr-old autistic son outside to catch his bus. Two women in my neighborhood were walking their dogs. They've never spoken to me even to say hi. "Can your house look any shittier? What a good neighbor you are!" I'm so angry at these 'good neighbors.' Admittedly, my yard looks terrible.

The brand of evangelicalism that formed me stressed right teaching. But my most recent romp through the Catholic Epistles suggests the warning against false teaching, was by-in-large, about those who abandoned Jesus' way of love. In many ways, the false teachers were us.
