About This Blog

This is a blog (or weblog)--a kind of online journal. I began this site in 2002 as a means for me to post pictures and information about my children for the benefit of family members who lived far away. Eventually it morphed into what you see now--a compendium of articles, information and book reviews. If the blog has a primary focus, it would likely be commentary on the contemporary church and its interaction with the culture around us. You can read the story of my blog in this article which summarizes a seminar I led at a conference in the spring of 2007.

I update the blog every day and have for several years now. I generally post some "A La Carte" headlines from around the web first thing in the morning and try to write something of substance by around noon EST. On the weekends I generally post shorter articles or minor book review. Most days, though, I try to write something at least moderately interesting and edifying.
