					<description><![CDATA[Long after Netflix made it and made it available, I’ve finally gotten around to watching the first season of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. Like the graphic novels, it is interesting and generally very well done (particularly compared to some of his other comic work). Sandman has been out long enough I won’t go over the plot here, other [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This week’s Top of the Country post examines Luke Combs’ hit “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” (from his new album The Way I Am.) Right off the bat, the title alone hits well. We have all been sleepless in a hotel room at some point, and it sucks. But this song gives more specific circumstances: Not only is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you’re looking for a great read and an even greater listen, pick up Stephen Fry’s book Heroes. Look, I wouldn’t normally recommend book two of a four book (so far) series, but I’ve not read the others so I can’t recommend book one first. I can, however, say that this book is excellent. Even better, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We’ve got a new Top of the Country this week with “Time’s Ticking” by Justin Moore. As Billboard points out, there’s irony here in the title since “Time’s Ticking” now has the record for the longest amount of time on the charts to reach the number 1 spot. Less ironically, this song opens with a blast of [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Of course, “disciplines of devotion” should never usually be quick. But these three new books are at least short, so Prayer by Courtney Rissig, Fasting by Cassie Achermann, and Sabbath Rest by Megan Hill will fit in the busy schedules that seem to dominate our worlds. All three of these are useful (and again: short). But I think the one [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It took me a while, but as part of this series on Billboard’s top of the country charts I’ve finally finished listening to Morgan Wallen’s album I’m the Problem. Why did it take so long? Because it’s thirty-seven songs long. Thirty. Seven. Songs. And yes, there is an “interlude.” And yes technically it’s a “double” album. In [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How do we teach children about the Trinity? This is no easy task, not least since trying to explain the inner life of the Triune God without simply confessing the historic Creeds nearly universally runs into heresy. And yet, the new board book God Loves Me by Kristen Wetherell and Grace Habib gives it a go. [&#8230;]]]></description>

I started with Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem. It turns out this album has thirty-seven tracks on it. Who on earth has time to listen to thirty-seven tracks, [&#8230;]]]></description>
