22 years ago today, on the feast if St James the Greater, I was ordained to the diaconate. It’s been a wild ride so far…

I’m in the midst of tacking this 1,157 page behemoth! Wish me luck! #harukimurakami #1q84

10 years ago today I gave up drinking alcohol. For most people who know me now it’s just one of those insufferable things I do, like being vegan. But it really was one of the best decisions I ever made and I’m grateful I did it. #teetotal #alcoholfree

Artist Lily Baldwin did this portrait of me for my forthcoming book of poems, S/O/M/A (another project with artist Marjorie Ann Schlossman). I’ve lost about 40 lbs and grew some facial hair since I posed for this, but I think she captured me well.

This is my first sabbatical in almost 22 years of ordained ministry. So far so good. But I did not realize how truly tired I have been…

Good bye, Palm Springs. It sure was fun!

One of my heroes.

Although I’m not much of a Christmas-y person, I gotta say I enjoy the Annual Concordia College Christmas Concert.

A great evening listening to Louise Erdrich discuss her novel The Mighty Red

My poetry students gave a wonderful reading tonight with each one knocking it out of the park with their poems (one student was sadly absent due to performing in the campus production of Oklahoma). I’m very proud of these talented young poets.

A wet morning on campus before the first big snow tomorrow.

My amazing poetry students will be reading the poems they’ve been laboring over this semester on Thursday night at Concordia College at 7:00 p.m.
