Yikes—my apologies to all of you who have commented over the last week and didn’t see your comments appear. I was pulled away from my TC duties last week when my wife went into labor. She gave birth to our first child (a daughter) in the middle of the week, and the three of us are now settling happily into a pattern of sleepless nights and the occasional burst of first-time-parent panic.

All this to say: there were a lot of great comments on last week’s posts, and they’re all up now, so take a look. The Joel Osteen post in particular spurred a lot of discussion, so take a moment to read through what everyone is saying there.

Again, my apologies for the delay in posting comments. And with that, we’ll get back to our regular posting schedule.
