Weddings Royal
Matthew Hosier: “Harry & Meghan represent a very modern shape of love though. She previously married, both from broken homes, both with previous romantic entanglements hiding in the background. There is a lot of complexity being brought into this marriage, as is the case for so many marriages.

How did these age-old traditions, stories, and commandments make their way to modern times? These are important questions.”

Neuroscience, Semiotics, and the Tower of Babel
I’m grateful to The Master’s University for sponsoring the blog this week. Sponsors play a key role in keeping this site running, so I’m thankful for each and every one of them.
