Sick Day, Fun Day
So I had food poisoning yesterday. Not fun.
Today I took the day off to hang out with Tim Snyder and work on the next steps for GENERATE Magazine. All things considered, today should be much more fun than the day I spent yesterday eating one cracker and watching old episodes of No Reservations (yes, I get the irony of having food poisoning and watching a food show all day).

At the Parade
Hi. This is a Gone Fishin’ sort of message.
I am celebrating the Giants Super Bowl victory at the ticker tape parade today with my family. I missed it the first time and vowed never to miss it again. So here I go, off to revel in the glory of a Super Bowl.
The Best of Everyday Liturgy 2011
I had a blast writing this year on Everyday Liturgy. After five years, the blog feels like a natural extension of my life, a comforting place to go write. It doesn’t often feel like work, and is always a joy.
Here are some of my selected highlights from the blog this year:
A Prayer for Our Children: An Introduction
I have been finding that praying for children is one of the most important roles of a parent. Even as an infant, there is so much about a young child that a parent cannot control, and so prayer is a way of both acknowledging in humility our inadequacies as a parent and journeying with our children in their spiritual journey.
The Turning Over of Traditional Tables
I do agree that this liturgical, ancient-future worship movement is a turning over of traditional tables. But, this turning over of tables is not a spilling over of a century’s worth of low-church Protestantism as the table is flipped over. Instead, this movement is a return to the center. It’s a journey back home. It’s a realization that almost 2,000 years of vibrant Christian worship had been totally eclipsed and stuck in closets or the histories found in dusty theological books.
Why Should Christians Eat Ethically?
This has been a very fruitful exercise in reclaiming the Christian notion of hospitality in the church today, and it is to be commended. Yet, the focus on community and food has not gone far enough. Many have asked the questions: how should food play a central role in the local church gathering? In the practice of communion? In the Christian home? And the answers have been great. But not many have been asking the questions:How should our local church choose the food we eat? and the broaderHow should Christians eat?
The Fall and Food Preservation
I love canning. Sometimes a bit too much. I’ll come home from work and announce that I’ve stopped at the grocery store—I bought pears!—and now we are going to pickle them!
It’s not that I don’t enjoy it. It was more existential. I wondered why I had to can anything.
Death. The answer is death.
