Your blog is not only enjoyable, but has also led to repentance.  Many at church here, including me, have had to examine themselves after reading your piece “The New Evangelization and the Old Excuse.”  Thank you for this convicting post.

Thank you.  If I know anything about self-deception, it is only because I have spent so much time deceiving myself.  No one learns anything from self-deception per se, but one can learn plenty from being caught at it.
