The title is deceptive. This is neither a theological nor a “career update” post.

Rather, it’s just an attempt to recognize coincidental symmetricality.

Today, the Flint Journal published an editorial responding to recent actions by the Uncommon Sense.

Before I even read the editorial, I was struck by how extraordinary this event must be.

I was originally going to write seven installments on sin; one for each of the original sins.

In the end, I did exactly none of them. It turns out that I said everything worthwhile I had to say on the subject in the original post.

I got a good natured ribbing from some of you in the comments… nevertheless, I’ll attempt to defend myself as best I can.

Oog.

Brains. BRAINS!!!

Some of you may be aware of the current Detroit debacle. The city’s foundering financially, literally on the brink of bankruptsy in a way that looks bad even from Flint, and in the midst of this, Mayor Kwayme Kilpatric is taking a lot of (well-deserved) flak for covering up a loadedluxurysuv the city bought for his wife.

I didn’t post yesterday, even though over sixty of you came by to say “hi.”

And I haven’t posted much of substance lately, except for the occasional “comments” in the daily post. (I did tell you about a party to happen tonight: it will be sweet.
