I’ve written for a variety of publications over the years, and I thought it was time for a catch-all/ catch up post!

Many earlier essays and pieces have gradually been lost to website changes and link breaks (and the infamous and tragic Ramen on the Keyboard Episode of May 2015), but that’s what I get for assuming that the “Internet is Forever” for written content– and not just for grainy Facebook pictures.

Ben kindly found a number of my archived pieces from 2014 on Wayback Machine that I thought were lost forever. Thanks, Ben!

Below you’ll find links for some of my published works that I could piece together from 2014 through the present. (A couple of the links are talks I’ve given rather than published).

It’s the end of January and a bit late for resolutions of any sort. But I am hoping to write more in 2024, and am starting an online writing workshop this week! May 2024 bring more writing, and may God’s grace abound.
