Sort of, anyway. Classes have started (including a reprise of the Gospel Music course at the graduate level!) so posting may be light for a bit still. For now, it’s enough to say thanks for keeping the conversation going in my absence. Perhaps there could have been no better sixth bloggiversary gift than seeing the […]

I’ll be away for a few weeks for some pleasure and a lot of work, which means I’ll probably miss Avery’s sixth anniversary on the 15th. I’ll still try to muster some thoughts shortly after I’m back but in the meantime, thanks for six interesting years.
