Welcome

My heart is astir with a pleasant theme. I address my verses to the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready scribe. —Psalm 45:1

To the visitor: this now mostly stagnant site contains a collection of writings composed in the years immediately following my college career, in which youthful zeal too often outstripped mature wisdom. Many of the projects were undertaken without sufficient forethought, and should doubtless be culled; but where wisdom would put the shears, waning zeal now lacks the energy to grasp the handles. Perhaps you will find something useful, if you read with a generous spirit; but if you'd prefer usefulness without alloy, please search out some Calvin or Augustine. Many thanks for stopping by, and be strong in the doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ, Light of true Light, Only-Begotten Son of the Father Almighty, who with the Holy Spirit is worshipped and adored by all true Christians everywhere, one God forever and ever, amen.
