My self-imposed 12 days of blog silence (not to be confused with the 12 days of Christmas) is almost over. I realize that taking nearly two weeks away from blogging is a virtual death sentence for an upstart blog, but I’ve needed the time with my family. Anyway, posts are ready to go live starting Monday — some with substantial content, others just light and fun. Either way, I’m promising a minimum of one new blog post every day for the next several weeks. We’ll be covering some of my favorite topics: Eucharist & youth ministry; adolescents and neuroscience; technology & community; and lots of fun links to videos and other media goodies. The family is doing well. Anna is doing great. See you on Monday!
