Watching: Amadeus (1984) Jonathan and I watched the classic film Amadeus recently. It definitely took some liberties with the historical reality of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s relationship with fellow-composer, Antonio Salieri. But it was a really good movie. I loved the costumes and the just overall “look” of the movie. And at a stout three hours,Continue reading “Tuesday’s Tidings: October 5, 2021”

A Simple Explanation of Angels
I’m a bit late in posting about this on here (whoops!) but I recently authored a tract with Concordia Publishing House entitled “A Simple Explanation of Angels.” It’s available in print in 20-packs and as an ebook download through Amazon. As always, it was such an honor to write for CPH and I had aContinue reading “A Simple Explanation of Angels”
Salvator Mundi
A short post today! I wanted to share a piece of digital art I made recently with you all. The title is Salvator Mundi, which is Latin for “savior of the world.” I’ve wanted to try doing an icon of some kind, and I decided to do a riff off El Greco and Da Vinci’sContinue reading “Salvator Mundi”
Tuesday Tidings: September 14, 2021
Sorry for the lack of posts lately! A combination of a migraine attack and a glut of work knocked me out of my rhythm, but I’m more or less back to normal now. What I’m Reading: A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller. I’ve been working through this little book on everyone’sContinue reading “Tuesday Tidings: September 14, 2021”
Tuesday’s Tidings: August 10 2021
This week, I’ll be starting a new weekly post on Tuesdays. It’ll be brief, just an overview of what I’m up to, enjoying, and thinking about. This week’s focus is settling in. We moved for Jonathan’s vicarage (like an internship) a couple of weeks ago. The boxes and whatnot are all unpacked (and have beenContinue reading “Tuesday’s Tidings: August 10 2021”
Tune Your Harps to Cheerful Strains
There’s a famous dictum that comes out of the early days of coding and computer building: garbage in, garbage out. In its original context, it had to do with a phenomenon where poor input data resulted in flawed outputs. Growing up, though, I heard it most often applied to music, of all things. Most ofContinue reading “Tune Your Harps to Cheerful Strains”
Where have you been?
If you are reading this blog post, there is a good chance you have noticed (or are now realizing) that I have gone on a rather protracted hiatus from writing on this blog. You may well be asking, “Where have you been?”, a question I have been posing to myself a lot over the pastContinue reading “Where have you been?”
A poem (or hymn) from the evening
I made myself a little corner of quiet the other night and wrote a little poem, or hymn, depending upon how you look at it. I hope that it gives you a moment of comfort, consolation, and peace. My Lord has written His sweet nameUpon my feeble heart;His promise every day the same:Never from meContinue reading “A poem (or hymn) from the evening”
Words of Strength and Promise
I recently contributed several devotions to an upcoming teen devotional, Words of Strength and Promise, coming out early 2021 from Concordia Publishing House. It was such a blessing to work on this project, and I hope that it brings readers the Law to convict them of their sin and the Gospel to point them toContinue reading “Words of Strength and Promise”
