The Laboratory of the Sacred:
The laboratory of the sacred: merging spirituality, science, and technology under a larger sky There’s an old story that sets spirituality and science on opposite sides of a courtroom. In that story, facts prosecute, faith defends, and technology is the unpredictable witness. But the world we actually inhabit is far richer. We are meaning-making, tool-making, wonder-making creatures. We measure galaxies and whisper prayers; we write code and cradle newborns. And if God is the author of reality’s intelligible order, the one whose wisdom breathes through every law of nature, then God is the most powerful scientist of all: the primal inquirer, the maker of methods, the fountain of discovery.

Henry and Emma
In Navasota the summer had a way of varnishing every story until it shone. The day Emma married Henry, people said shotgun as if it were both a joke and an algebra problem, something solved in haste on a front porch while cicadas racked up their noise. The pastor spoke over it all, “A mighty fortress,” and the bell clanged twice because the rope caught, and that, too, became part of the town’s version.
