The Christian Watershed

I’ve been invited to start writing for the new site Purple Like Polka. 

I encourage everyone to start going over there as two of my good friends will be posting alongside me. That site will be dedicated to handling some of the stuff I deal with here, but sometimes in a satirical way.
