Yeah, no. "Teacher, who is my neighbor?" He literally clarified this. (It wasn't "extended family members." Instead, Jesus answered the question with a story about how a man from the ethnic group his listeners hated, and who they didn't believe had a right to be in the country, was their neighbor.)

At a time when we are likely to be flooded soon with AI-generated ebooks, I feel like passing on and teaching the craft of fiction -- the methods and magic of storytelling that can be learned and pushed forward but not automated -- is more important than ever. www.amazon.com/dp/B07XXDPF4R

I think this trilogy is my finest work (so far). It took six years, and it's a time travel space opera on a scale I have rarely encountered. These are the books *I* desperately wanted to read. I hope you will enjoy them. "By story and song, we hold back the dark." www.amazon.com/dp/B0753GRCGQ

A kitchen jest: My collection of favorite recipes is housed in a binder that still says "Biocontainment facilities" on the spine, from 16 years ago when I was researching biocontainment facilities for work. I did, however, take the biohazard symbol off the front of my recipes binder.

As it is the Nativity Fast, I have had wild rice and a delicious smoothie this afternoon. I find that fasts always make me deeply grateful for the easy access to food that we have. (1/3)

I am still in awe of Barry Moser's gritty, emotional biblical woodcuts. The image of Paul in chains reaching out to extend brotherhood to the rats in his cell while writing about the nature of love is, to this day, one of my favorite religious images.

If you follow Christ but your social and political activity and political priorities do not reflect his account of what he holds us accountable to do (Matt. 25), nor reflect Paul's instructions on how Christians are to live in community (Php. 2), ask yourself why.
