The lockdowns are slowly ending and churches are tentatively re-opening. Of course most are opening during vacation season so have begun with a much-reduced schedule of programming—typically Sunday morning services and not a whole lot else.

There is not a whole lot new on the Kindle front, but if you didn’t check in over the weekend it may be worth a look to see what you missed. (Yesterday on the blog: Make Your Life a Song!) Impromptu Interview with Todd Friel and Steve Lawson (Video) I rather enjoyed this somewhat-serious somewhat-silly interview with Todd Friel and Steve Lawson. I expect you will too.
