Hello, TWT readers! After a few years of sharing my favorite music with you all, it’s time for me to say goodbye to The Write Teacher(s) as I continue pursuing my call to ministry, and unfortunately, there aren’t enough hours in the day! Thank you for welcoming me into this space and for giving me…
Hello, music fans! I hope you all had a spectacular Fourth full of good people, good food, good times, and hopefully some (safe!) fun with explosives. I don’t know if I’ve ever revealed this about myself on this site, but I’m a huuuge fan of U2. I grew up listening to their stuff and spent…
Hey, music fans! It’s summer and we’re so excited and so BUSY, that this lil playlist is out later than normal – but hey, it’s just in time for THE WEEKEND! One of my favorite memories from growing up was that of my family’s summer road trips to Colorado. About every other summer, we would…

Hello, music lovers! Something beautiful happened on October 28, 2014. My workplace got the internet that it had been waiting months for. You see, before this upgrade, our internet was awful. The internet in the retreat center barely worked with one device connected to it, so if more than one was connected, you were more…
Hello, friends! Happy October and happy autumn! I’m not sure what it’s like in your part of the country/world, but here in West Virginia, it’s starting to feel and look a whole lot like fall. The mountains are exploding with hues of orange and gold and red. The days are getting cooler. The last of…
