Let's try this again

Sometimes ideas inspire me; other times people inspire me. This weekend, John Fea, a great historian who teaches at Messiah College, was gracious enough to give two talks at Grace College, where I work. He spoke in chapel and then did an evening “Lyceum” lecture on his new book, Was American Founded as a Christian Nation. John’s energy, his encyclopedic knowledge of historiography and the historical profession, and his engaging personality is inspiring. I’d love to be more like John, even in some small ways, and I was reminded of how effective his blog, The Way of Improvement Leads Home, is for his career. So I’ve decided to take another stab at blogging. Thanks for the inspiration John. And by the way, your talks hit their mark perfectly!
