Welcome

I hope you enjoy your time here. The defining ethos for this site revolves around the Christian story and how it plays in the world. My interest is in what can be called God’s two books, the Bible, and nature and how they interact with each other. Specifically, this means thoughtful and engaging comments around ecclesiology, biblical studies, birding, and maybe even the occasional thing on (good) coffee.

Just me, Alyssa, and some birds. 30 minute time lapse. It was cold and windy at the park this afternoon but that didn’t stop this #rubycrownedkinglet for popping by for a brief chat. We talked about the weather, neither of us are impressed with it. It is always a good day when the warblers return. This #yellowrumpedwarbler was just one of many who we saw rejuvenating itself after returning to a still snowy Winnipeg. I think the best bird encounters are the bewildering unexpected ones. That happened to me when I stumbled across this Long-eared Owl recently. It is always a pleasure to find a lifer. Props to that one crow who got my attention and told me where to look. Happy New Year from this gorgeous Blue Jay who decided to visit my frosty tree today!
