This collection on thriving in Christian higher ed is out today!
I contributed a chapter on my efforts to battle acedia...which I imagine will be relatable to anyone who has had to grade papers semester after semester without losing their minds.

I saw Ithaca today!
But like Odysseus, it may be another ten years until I succeed in touching its shore.

So thrilled to be part of the Festival of Faith and Writing this year!
I'll be talking about catacomb art, mosaics, sacred architecture, and paintings of the crucifixion. If you're in Grand Rapids, come say hello!

Valiant effort by @SouthwestAir flight attendants to keep spirits up while we're stranded on the runway as Kansas City airport is evacuated.

Not capitalizing titles? Having to put a year after referencing someone like Aristotle or Dante? It's madness.

January is cold and long. So to make it more festive, we made a tradition of watching the Harry Potter series.
It's time for the fourth movie, which means it's also time for my husband's annual concoction of his own goblet of fire.
