And just like that, it’s later-latter rain, and a brand new Upper Room, complete with monthly Zoom calls.

Sigh. The sad state of American Evangelical Christianity today, and how it got here.

Join me, won’t you, as I try, and most likely fail on some days, to blog through this holy season of repentance and meditation.
