The past month has been chock-full of editing for me. I’ve also been mulling over some future blog posts, but while they’re still in the works, I decided to hash out exactly why I blog. This appears to be my season for soul searching, so...
I started two different posts for today, but it's just one of those weeks. I've accomplished a lot of other important work. For some reason, the blog posts are not coming together for me. They will sometime in the next month, and you can read...
