	<description>Welcome. I&#039;m a husband, a father, an ordained minister, and a postmodern pilgrim. You can check out some of the projects I&#039;m involved with below. In this space I mostly write about the intersections of Christianity and culture.</description>

		<description>&quot;Our relationship with God is not based on our ability to obey it is based solely on His ability to have mercy on us.&quot;
