"ed elli avea del cul fatto trombetta" - Dante, Inferno, XXI.139

Hi, I'm Tyler Watson. I live in California, in the East Bay. I'm a Christian. I'm married. I grew up in a small town in the San Joaquin Valley called Sanger. I attended UC Davis and Fuller Theological Seminary. I'm slowly becoming an ordained minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church. In large strokes, my interests and the topics covered on this blog include God, the Church, and culture. Those are broad issues, to be sure, and if you want to know more about my thoughts on those issues in particular, just read the posts. This is a personal blog, meaning that the thoughts and opinions written here only reflect what I think and are not to be taken as representative of any other organization, group, church, party, or Watson for that matter. Also, this is a personal blog, but I'll try to refrain from talking about the tid-bits of my day like flossing or specifics on where I work. You can view some of my photography on my Flickr site and my reviews and writings on the arts at my other blog, The Space Between the Arts.
