    No matter, Marcus. I like business too. And the business of this post is well-expressed. Oh, and you are very clever, getting your HC tagline in as the concluding statement!

    Thanks for your interest in my work, Marcus. It was great meeting you at lunch last week, and I look forward to more conversations. You embody the cosmopolitan evangelicalism about which I write.

    Ray, good to hear from you. The book just came out on Monday. I only know about it because he interviewed my boss as one of the people in the halls of power. It is definitely the best book on faith in the workplace that I have ever read.

    L.L., I hope it was okay to rib you a bit. You know I love you! As for the tagline, let's just say we get a lot of practice ending with those words for TheHighCalling.org.

    Indeed, the ribbing is proof. :)

    (Now, regarding the tagline, do you start to feel kind of like a caricature? A machine of sorts? Or a poem that always goes in the same direction? Curious.)

    The tagline could be a caricature if we let it become that, I suppose. That's our challenge. Not to get complacent. Not to go rote.

    I prefer to think of it as the recurring line in our continuing sestina or audio messages. : )

    Michael! Thanks for stopping by. You're the best. Good landing page, by the way. It's confident and informative.

    I had to scroll a loooooong time to get to the end of your book tour schedule. Man, hang in there. I'm thinking your wife is a saint for recognizing that your book is worth the sacrifice.
