Quietly Anchored by Advent

Wesleyan Accent December 6, 2021

Some things you only discover over the long course of years. This frustrates an economy of optimization, hyper-fixated on immediate improvement and benefit. Wisdom can’t be reduced to “insights” gleaned by data, metrics, or analytics though, even if they’re useful from a strategic point of view. The season of Advent stubbornly persists in forcing the door open for the hard-to-quantify

The Unattended Moment by Maxie Dunnam

Maxie Dunnam May 6, 2025

I read T. S. Eliot’s poetry, even though I have to struggle to read and understand it.

God Delights In Your Participation In His Provision by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes May 2, 2025

Maxie Dunnam April 22, 2025

In my last article I reflected on Tennessee Williams’ image, violets cracking rocks. In his teaching, Jesus used an equally powerful image: “Consider the lilies… how they grow;
