Today is the 40th anniversary of the explosion of the space shuttle #Challenger. Be sure to check on it any #GenX-ers you know who probably saw it live on TV as kids or adolescents, and might be thinking about it a lot today.

I’m blogging again, I guess

Am I getting my blogging voice back? Time will tell. But two things are true and are worth noting:

  • I am grateful for the kind words of support and earnest inquiries for more information I’ve gotten over the years and to this day. I also appreciate those of you who take time to read my posts and make comments.
  • Universalist Christianity — or anything worth having — won’t prosper in the walled (and manipulated) gardens of corporate social networks. I’ve been able to speak freely over the years because I have this little patch on a server that I pay for myself, and some 22 years of posts may be found here. (Try that on Facebook.)

    To that end, and if you know how, you can also read the posts here by subscribing to the RSS feed or by subscribing to @admin @https://www.revscottwells.com [remove the space] through one of the distributed Mastodon nodes. (I think that’s right.) I don’t advertise and don’t worry about site hits, so read this as you want.

  • If you do want to help me, link to my site here, or refer people over. Thanks.
