“How could they do it, how could they?"

“I don’t know, but they did it. They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it – seems that only children weep.”

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee p. 285

Fried potatoes. They are pretty great.

"But there is one that is often left out, a gift with magnificent properties. It is made from something so common, yet it is transformed into something truly special. For those who lived before the 18th century, they will only get to enjoy it on the new Earth. I am speaking, of course, of the French fry."

An Explanation for the Strange Name

I share why I named this project "The Crispy Marshwiggle" and what I am trying to do with my writing.

"I love a good laugh and will share my delight in many a good gift from God. But I also want to brandish the sword against the lies of the age. I want to have Puddleglum courage and be willing to hold my feet to the fire, and then plunge them in."

What I Am Doing Here and Why

I give the vision behind the podcast and Substack. My desire is to provide thoughts on everyday life and wonder in God's world.

"The reason I can write at all is because all reality comes back to one great Author. We can have answers and truth because we know a God who, as Chesterton put it, "knew the way out of the grave" (The Everlasting Man)."
