Now that my vacation and study leave are now truly over, and I can no longer pretend otherwise, I’m back to my usual schedule for writing posts, which goes something like this — Monday: Congregational life — Tuesday: Stories from real life — Wednesday: Congregational life (and marketing) — Thursday: Theology — Friday: Book review — Saturday: Anything goes — Sunday: Meditation. My evil alter ego Mr. Crankypants and new guest blogger Isaac Bickerstaff may, however, disrupt this schedule without warning.
