Dan Marler's Blog

This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

Appeared on TV! ...Sort of.

I'm very happy to report that Rachel and I appeared on television for a few moments, earlier today.

...Sure, it was just the security camera feed at the Walmart pharmacy but for a minute, or so, it was quite thrilling!
