“The Rev. James” seems pretentious for a blog title.
A few friends call me “the Rev. Jim.”
Of course, they’re thinking of the character from the TV series “Taxi” — Jim Ignatowski, the spaced-out dude played by Christopher Lloyd.
“I was finding God all over the place,” he said, “and he kept ditching me.”
As fond as I am of the character, and as off-the-wall as I can be (though rarely in public), my identity is more sedate.
Perhaps it better fits “The Rev. James.” That’s the Rev. James Buckley, a Methodist priest who lived 1770-1839 and founded Buckley’s Brewery in West Wales. There’s a fine ale named after him that I first encountered in a Welsh pub a decade or so ago. It’s called “a taste of the good life.”
It’s my hope that in these musings you find a taste of the faithful life and keep finding God all over the place, knowing that God will never really ditch you.

Glad to have you “blogging.” Looking forward to more. By the way, that comment the politician made is chauvinistic and misogynistic as well as patronizing.
