Dancing... or drinking through life
I am not even sure that I know how to do a link anymore. I'm giving it a shot though so, three readers, please forgive me if I mess this up.
So Rod Dreher's sister is battling cancer. It is nasty. Their faith is extraordinary. Here's his latest post (I think)
There are 8 comments on it.

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

A Newfie for Obama
NPR asked me to do a short memo to the president-elect. I chose to do it on the dog he should choose... and why. Check it out.

There is at least one reader still here.
I think that the election results voice many things about the current state and mood of our country. The racial milestone is (rightly) overshadowing those things.
I’m glad you’ve missed writing here. I’ve missed your writing and look forward to its return.

Welcome back….looking forward to your comments…

Welcome back, David — you still have readers (and I’ve been reading Culture11 as well).
I didn’t vote for our President-Elect — but he is our President-Elect (emphasis on “our”), and he needs our prayers to govern wisely and well.
Glad to see you writing again.

I’m glad you’re back and couldn’t agree with your post more. Thanks for helping all of us to maintain clarity in regards to faith and politics.

Yay, David. Glad to see you dusting off ye ole web log.

Glad to see you back. You hit it spot on!

This may very well be a groundbreaking election for a number of reasons. One of the things that jumped out at me is a situation in the office of my current employer – of which all are Christians. The younger guys really didn’t tend to subscribe to the notion that the Republicans were the party of God, while the older folks in the office still tended to subscribe to the Republican=God worldview. It was actually very refreshing to see the younger guys debate the political issues with a clear understanding between the responsibility of the government to the nation, and the responsibility of the relationship of God to the individual. Obama hasn’t even taken office yet, so we cannot judge his presidency through the haze of campaign rhetoric, and he is deserving of the opportunity to prove himself. The younger guys seem to have figured this out, so it does give me hope that we are not doomed at all.
Welcome back, David

I’ve tried culture11.com, but honestly, it made me feel like I was too deep in conservative-land, and I didn’t feel welcome or comfortable. So I stopped reading.

Yeah, welcome back, Brer Kuo. You’ve been missed.

Good to see you back. I was wondering if you were having health issues or something.
I agree with you about a president just being president. But it is still a very inspiring moment to see Obama entering office.

I’m so glad you’re back. I’ve been reading Culture 11, but have missed your personal reflections. Looking forward to reading more.

So glad you’re back. I visited culture11 a few times, but didn’t find it as compelling, being more of an adherent to what one might call “disorganized religion”. Looking forward to your continuing thoughtful conversation here.

I’m still reading. Glad you are writing here again. After seeing your post on the the Celebration of Discipline, I picked it up again after 15 years. Thanks for the reminder. Keep writing here and keep up the good work on Culture11.

Not a readerless blog. It’s a blog I bookmarked for a reason.

I missed you too. I’m not of the same faith (not hardly) and we haven’t voted for the same people (at least in a couple of elections) but I have gained an affinity for you reading your book and your blog. I really like you. So, I hope you are around and blogging for awhile.
