Decided I wanted a change of design on Living Wittily. A recent photo of me at a wedding reception replaces the previous relaxed-tourist-at-the-Eden-Project, pretending he's in the jungle. To forestall rude comments I am virtually teetotal (when asked during a recent health check how many units of alcohol I drank I estimated around 12 – a year! the safe limit is 21 a week!!) – so the smile is genuine pleasure in the company and the occasion!
By the way, I do sometimes look spectacularly bad in photos – I have several which if ever I begin to take myself too seriously I just might post. Possible titles include "The Wayward Pressure Hose"; "The College Hoodie"; "The Sweaty Cost of Fitness"; "The Ridiculous Hat"; "The Cardigan Clad Scholar". The clown in the above painting is not one of mine – or me.
Also making a few changes to links on the sidebar. I'm not all that interested in accumulating long lists of links however generally useful. There are those who do that really well and if you're looking for more comprehensive lists click on Jason Goroncy and Ben Myers – enough links there to span the widest interests.
Short "First Call" lists will replace the miscellaneous list of links to other Blogs, and will include Baptists, Biblical, Theology, and Poetry and Theology. Living Wittily will continue as a forum for exploring what it means to serve God wisely, creatively and obediently; to follow after Christ gratefully and faithfully; and to live in the power and grace of the Spirit. And to do so with a voice that looks humanely forth on human life in a world that is God loved, reconciled in Christ and still creatively touched by the Holy Spirit.
What I'm trying to do is still best understood by this early post, which explained (and still explains) the motto at the head of the Blog, and what I'm trying to be about.
