Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I’m resting up and regrouping with the family until Jan. 5th. Thanks to all who support this blog — whether through assisting with content or distribution or simply by reading it. God bless you all and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

See you in 2014!
