Sweltering Summer Offer
Because West Texas is living through its annual inferno
Greetings, everyone:
Texas is undergoing yet another heatwave, and in my neck of the woods everyone is just trying not to melt. Seriously: we’re now in the middle of three weeks in a row of over 100° and very much looking forward to evacuating to Michigan for a few weeks of relief.
The Big Deal Discount
In appreciation for being able to escape to the north, and because the two-year anniversary of this newsletter is next week, I’m going to be running a 50% off forever sale on annual subscriptions between now and the end of the month.
Each week, barring some unforeseen travel, or writing interruptions, one piece each week is for everyone, and one piece is for paid subscribers . Once the summer slows down, the book clubs will return in a bit more regular fashion this fall than they have been for the last several months. Subscribers also are invited to tell me what questions are on your mind on what I can help sort through.
Thanks so much for joining in, for reading, and for helping support what I hope is good and helpful theological moral reflection. The aim of this newsletter has from the beginning been to slow down and to look at, the world which we are called to live in, without becoming ensconced in the buzzy news cycles which dominate our brains.
As always, thanks for reading.
Having lived in Abilene from January 1956 through graduation from ACC in May 1964 and visited parents and in-laws there through 2007, I know your pain from the heat. For many years my parents lived at 1517 Washington Blvd, mere feet from the ACC campus and McDonald Dorm (where my Dad resided for the 1 1/2 years he was able to attend ACC in 1932-33). For all of the time I lived in that house, we had one evaporative air conditioner in a window downstairs with my brother and my bedrooms upstairs and no help from the AC. Good memories despite regular summer heat that created the desire to escape to Colorado that I still have.
