Hi all…
Let me preface this review with some thoughts about John Williams. I’ve loved his music ever since seeing Star Wars in the late 1970s. Since then, I’ve probably seen 90% of the movies that John Williams has scored for Spielberg and Lucas. My two favorite soundtracks of his are Raiders of the Lost Ark […]

When I hear the term hermeneutics, I think of the campy Batman television series that was popular in the 1960’s. The Boy Wonder, aka Robin would often come up with such […]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the upcoming Feast of the Transfiguration, namely because the feast is really under appreciated and examined in our harried and busied 21st century lives.
