*under construction!*

A quick explanation of my site’s name:

Reverend Bachman was a naturalist in the late 1800s. In particular, he loved birds. The Bachman Warbler and Bachman Sparrow are both named after this Lutheran minister, and are now either certainly or quite nearly extinct due to environment destruction. I chose the sparrow for my name because of its resilience and often flourishing adaptability to survive in the development of man-made structures. He is an inspiration for us to discover ways to adapt to our current environmental condition in a positive and beautiful way.

A sparrow also is significant to me spiritually. Often in the Bible it is referred to as a symbol of God’s love and provision for us (see Luke 12, Psalm 84) – something I believe in very strongly!
