Me Online: Odds and Ends from Ronald V. Huggins

This is a list of odds and ends of things I have done which, for the most part, got on the internet at someone else's instigation. The reason I compiled it was to be able to remember what I might have said or written where and when.  Some of these are listed simply because I don't have a copy. I'll probably add some that I do have a copy but that appear on other peoples' websites. I compiled this list here a couple of years back but did not publish it openly because its primary intention was for my private use.    When my computer was stolen several years ago I lost access to an earlier blog and had to start anew.  So if that happens again, I will lose everything on this blog that is not published.  So, in order to prevent that from happening to this list, I am publishing it now.  If anyone finds the links I provide here helpful, then that's fine. The material is arranged with the things that are most recent going back from there.  Given its previous life as a catch-all it currently needs tidying up.

Feb. 2023 (?) Two-part Interview with Kent Philpott. I wanted to interview Kent Allan Philpott who was a key player in the Jesus movement in California and the author of Memoir of a Jesus Freak (2014) and Awakenings in America and the Jesus People Movement (2011).  Instead, he ended up interviewing me for a series of Christian testimonies that he does.  I feel that these are more rushed and perfunctory than the five-part version above.
