about
I am a post-evangelical, post-Charismatic, post-congregational Christian. I was born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs but have lived in Happy Valley since coming here in 2000. I have enjoyed having a wiser, more intuitive better half since 2004. She and I have collaborated since 2007 on the creation of two replicants of whom we’re very proud. I am a desk jockey. I am a generalist and a dilettante. I really like walking and talking.
This (mostly micro-)blog is meant to contain (or sometimes just link to) everything I write that seems fit for public perusal as well as to relay many things I fancy. It’s a subset of my journal. For an overview of how I categorize what I post, head to the archive page.
I write for the fun of it. I also write in hopes that what I write is of referential benefit or delight to my future self. I blog, rather than merely journal exclusively privately, in hopes that what I write be of similar good to my readers, whom I mostly intend to be people I already know. I also blog instead of merely journaling by way of disciplining myself to articulate well, again in hopes of maximizing their benefit to my future self and to others. I do not blog in hopes of initiating online discussions. Did I mention I like walking and talking? Hence you will find no comment boxes here.
If you’d like to have what I post come to you instead of you having to keep coming back here to get it, you might consider subscribing to:
- the whole blog via RSS (explanation) or JSON,
- just particular categories via the little gray RSS links among list of categories on the archive page, or
- emailed versions of my longer posts, which are primarily exegetical, via Substack.
Alternatively, if you’re Fediverse-savvy, which I admit I am not, my username is @scottstilson@micro.blog.
Finally, since I have nowhere else to put it, here’s a list of links to other stuff of mine:
