Wonderstuff allows me a landscape upon which I can deposit all the reflections and cogitations that poke around in my mind each day like children exploring a new house. As both an ordained minister and a writer, much of what I do for a living involves taking this tangled mess of ideas you find here and trying to make sense out of them so that I can, in turn, communicate whatever worthwhile nuggets are hidden in their midst. Thus, it’s not so much that the articles I post on Wonderstuff are in rough draft form so much as the entire site is one big rough draft – a work in progress, if you will.
Dig around long enough and you’ll most likely find something that interests you, though that may not necessarily include what I had to say about it. At times contemplative, at other times dreadfully heretical, the only promise I make regarding the writings you read on this site is that each one is honest. These thoughts I have tossed out into this corner of cyberspace are as genuine and unabashed as I can be, which is much more than I normally am face-to-face. It’s easy to be honest when the identity of your audience is ambiguous, but I don’t believe that’s a bad thing.
I am always willing to continue in the Great Conversation with anyone who is interested. Please leave a comment on the blog or, if you would like to contact me: bovernon@me.com

I just came across your blog through some tag surfing and I really liked your post on “The Sin of Christianity” and you hit it right on the money. I browsed here for a little bit and I really like what I see. I will be visiting again I am sure.
Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this page to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
I like this post, enjoyed this one thankyou for posting .
Mr. Bowen, I’ve been wondering how you’ve been doing since we last met. I’m glad that you’re doing well (from what I can tell), doing the things you enjoy. As much as I didn’t participate in small groups, I miss the times watching TV shows, talking about certain things, playing games, and all that. I hope that you will continue to do well and keep in touch.

Hey, KJ. Good to hear from you, man. I’m glad you still long to be properly shepherded by me. Shoot me an e-mail or FB message sometime with more details about where you are (D.C.?) and what you’re up to. Peace.
