I am not a professional minister. I did not go to a seminary, and I have not been around great Christian thinkers all of my life. I grew up Baptist, but I never really understood or cared about what I was being forced to learn. I went through college making fun of Christians and organized […]

CoverItLive is the liveblogging platform/software that I used to stream, record, and publish updates and photos during the birth of our fourth child. You can see the end result in this post: Liveblogging Baby #4. I promised a review of the software and interface, and here it is. I apologize that it took me this […]
