This blog functions as an intersection, a meeting place (if you will), of all my personal and professional interests.  And since I've always liked soapboxes, this blog will also be a place where I can share my thoughts, reflections, and other commentary on . . .well . . .just about everything! :)

Because I have a special interest in writing fiction (particularly fantasy and science fiction), I plan on spending a lot of time reflecting on writing, the writing process, the role of the artist in relation to both society (the common good) and the mission of Christ. I'll also write about a number of my geeky pastimes!

Prospective readers should be warned, however, that while this is not a blog wholly dedicated to religious discussion and reflection, my faith is exceptionally important to me, and I tend to filter many things through that "lens." For those who are looking for more in-depth, faith-based discussion, I have another blog called Take Your Place--which is dedicated to reflecting and exploring what it means to be a lay apostle called by Christ to transform the structures and culture of our world fostering that which is truly human and restoring to creation all of its original dignity.

There may, occasionally be posts that I forward from my other blog to this one and vice versa, but all in all, this is a place where we can put our feet up and talk about anything! I have varied interests (as you can see if you peruse the right-hand-side nav bar) and I finally have a place to collect and discuss them all! Oh, and if, by chance, you are engaged in some form of ministry, you'll find a handy collection of resources on the right hand side of this page.

So, once again, welcome to my own little slice of the interweb! Put up your feet and stay awhile!
