Hey there Insiders!
In this edition of our Tank, we have some fresh contributions from Jaan Pirn and Rev. Kyle Jones. Jaan throws down a great challenge to put aside distractions and dig into the Psalter, while Rev.

Gabriel Parker returns with a thoughtful argument about true creativity comes through constraint.
