I used to blog a long time ago and it gave me life and brought me into community with interesting, quirky and wonderfully diverse people from all over the world. And then I stopped. I wish I hadn’t but there were reasons and mostly they were good ones. Once I had stopped, it was hard to start again. I still haven’t figure out why. The longer I stalled the harder it became. It’s not so much that I stopped writing but that I lost my online publishing nerve. My put it out there and be damned gut. That’s what I’m building up again here, essay by essay, post by post.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I strive to live a life that pays attention to compelling ideas, to timeless stories, to interesting people, to how God is moving in this big beautiful world of ours. This is the place where I document how I’m making sense of it today. What I write about depends on what I’m mulling over at any given time, hence, Annotations in Time. You can pretty much expect an eclectic cast of fictional and nonfictional characters to show up: Steph Curry, Emma Woodhouse, Kwame Bediako, Lucy Pevensie, Anyanwu, Kanji Watanabe and Chimamanda. I’m not going to limit myself topically either.
I aim to post an essay weekly, but on the odd occasion that I pull the one I’m cooking out of the oven and find that it isn’t quite ready yet, I’ll go with my gut. It’s taken a decent number of trips around the sun so I tend to trust it.
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive; and human life consists in beholding God.”
