New home for New Houses

New Houses has moved to a new site! This is the result of a mini-discernment process: should I start a new website for my book, or should I just make it possible for people to order it from my blog? Ultimately, I figured that it’s already challenging enough to integrate the pastor and author aspects of my vocation/self/life, without adding to the challenge by separating them in cyberspace! So I chose the latter, and had to move off of the free wordpress.com site.

Balloons and book are here

My favorite time of year has arrived: The Great Reno Balloon Race. Dozens of hot air balloons lift off together on three consecutive mornings. They float gently over town, wherever the wind takes them, and for the past two years, it has taken them right into my neighborhood. The first time, the balloons, like a stork, dropped a gift that helped lead to my book coming out next month.
