A first grade class invited me to talk about my book today. My favorite question came as I held up a copy and let them flip through: “How did you get the letters so neat?”

\n

They were disappointed to hear that I typed the words on a computer and then the publisher used a big printer to make copies.

Congrats, Harry Kane. From The Athletic: “Harry Kane was not a born Ballon d’Or winner. That’s what makes him so special.\"

\n
\n

This is the true genius of Kane. It is not just the goals or the assists, the attitude or the ball-striking, but above all the need and the capacity to improve that makes him an all-time great. To watch Kane up close in recent years has been to have the privilege of being in the presence of mastery.

Seven years ago I was ordained a priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas.

\n

And today, on the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, a book that is the result of my priestly ministry in parish and school contexts is now in stock and shipping!

\n

A delay at the printers has pushed back the release date twice. The real question: will my author copies arrive before I leave for the Camino de Santiago this Sunday? Or will I have to wait until I return to finally hold the book in my own hands??

My brief remembrance of Wendell Berry is in The Living Church today.

\n

I present Berry as (at least) the unofficial patron saint of going outside, freedom from our political and techno-overlords, those who “can’t shake the feeling of having been led,” and those who seek to form more fully the next generation.
