I am a spiritual director and an elder at my church. I think a lot about faith and growth and find that it helps me to write about what I am thinking. I hope that reading it may help you, even if only by raising questions!
You will find three categories of posts here. If I have set it up as hoped, each category is on its own page. The most recent across categories below. The three categories are:
- General posts: pretty much anything on Christian spiritual formation, the love of God, and maturing in faith.
- In Pops’ Workshop: Serialization of a book I have been toying with for five years or so. A lot of the book is already written, so early chapters may come quickly.
- The Fog: Another book serialization. This one is still mostly ideas so the content will come slowly and chapters will likely change over time.
This site is a work in progress. (If you are an experienced WordPress user with ideas for how to improve this site, please let me know!).
Here are the latest post from each of the categories

Cold and damp cover everything. The sunlight is diffused to the point of near uselessness – I strain to see more than a few yards ahead. The sun rises and sets, but its progress across the sky is barely perceptible. In the daytime, the Fog is a bit more bearable, but it does not dissipate or “burn off.” When darkness…
