I’ve been around the evangelical industrial complex long enough to learn that there are no secrets. Just silence.

So many fascinating presentations, so many talented scholars, so many important discussions taking place. Thank you to the organizers and participants for making this year's @RhetCan conference such a wonderful experience! #congressh

Today’s words for contemplation: re/conciliation; choric and choric withdrawal; attunement; the Keats Effect; affect. Humbled by the good company of fine scholars and wonderful people of @RhetCan #rhetcan

A callback in anticipation of tomorrow's #RhetCan conversation. Still makes my heart go pitter-patter.

Found another theological antimetabole running in the wild. Makes my heart go pitter-patter.

Pastors, I know you are busy, but write your own sermons. A sermon written, prayed over, and internalized for a particular group of people, deeply known by the actual preacher, is uniquely used by God in the life of that church. The hard work of sermon writing is worth it.

@RhetCanada Maybe "Velim, Pictura Proxima" contributes to the critical vocabulary of "Pictura Rhetorica Silens," ha! #RhetCan m.xkcd.com/2470/
Lots to think about after Day 1 of #RhetCan The good folks of @RhetCan continue to produce compelling and provocative work. Object Oriented Ontologies; rhetoria; cruel optimism; strong civility; ruly and unruly rhetoric; Egyptian progymnasmata... gotta expand my “memoria” palace.

I just put SoftLips balm on the chapped edges of my nose because it’s all I have and it’s what I need. Welcome to 2019.

Well would you look at that: another antematoble running wild, with isocolon, parison, and mesodiplosis to boot. All set up with a parison-supported antithesis. Huh. Go figure. #theometabole

The local church gathers for worship and scatters for witness, but the worship is witness and the witness is worship.

3/3 complete. And only 39 minutes behind schedule. But we had a great time outside, and only one minor incident with the tobaggan.
