  • Back In Business

    You may or may not have noticed earlier today, but the website was temporarily down. I’m pretty sure I warned you it would happen at some point, and sure enough it did. But now, things are mostly back to normal. I was able to import all of my posts and pages, though there was some…

  • Switching to Maintenance Mode

    So… For the past several weeks, I’ve been getting this screen, more often than not, when I try to make updates from the WordPress Admin panel. I realize some of you all might have gotten this screen when you try to access other secure sites, but I found out, after a call to GoDaddy, that…

  • Why I Don’t Give Many 5-Star Ratings

    Earlier in the week, I thought now would be a good time to explain why I don’t rate more books 5-stars. I mean read a lot. And because I track my reading with Goodreads,[ref]Though useful, I actually don’t really like Goodreads as a reading tool. I’ll have to explain this in another post[/ref] almost every…

  • Blogging Triperspectivally

    About a year ago, Tim Brister wrote a post called “A Triperspectival Approach to Blogging.” In it, he explains how one could utilize the insights of triperspectivalism in the way they approach their blog.[ref]If you’re not familiar with “triperspectvialism” then read this article: A Triperspectival Map of DKG[/ref] The goal is balancing several aspects of…

  • Summer Books for Sale

    It’s that time of year. The time when you look at your book shelves and think, “I need to make some room for some new books!” Actually, it’s more, “Hey, there’s a bunch of books here that I don’t need/want, maybe I should liquidate them” (and maybe buy some new books). In all seriousness, I…

  • New Microblog: Words With Nate

    You may or may not have noticed, but there is a link in my blog menu for my Tumblr. It’s been active for a few years now, but I’ve been more or less inconsistent in using it. I’ve decided that I want to start doing more occasional blogging, and decided that Tumblr is the venue…

  • Notes on My Music Collection

    Perhaps this comes as a surprise, but I’m actually quite the musician. I have been playing the piano for over 20 years, including 12 years of classical lessons. I’ve also been playing the drums and the guitar since I was a high school freshman which makes me something of a triple threat. It was also…

  • Doctrine: Resurrection

    Had we had class last night, we would have finished covering the resurrection. If you missed the PDF from the post on the cross, here it is again. Here also are my thoughts from the actual book chapter in Doctrine. I mentioned on The City that I have plenty of posts on the resurrection to…

  • The Catharsis of Road Trips

    Last week, being spring break and all, meant a trip to Knoxville. I was greeted by blowing snow flurries and sub-freezing wind chills when I arrived, so it was literally a break from spring. For some reason, I’m always apprehensive before taking trips to Knoxville. Like I try to talk myself out of it, or…

  • End of The Month Mailbag

    Just like last month, and a bit earlier this month, here’s a post dedicated to the book haul I’m ending the month with. I got back to Orlando last night after cramming a 10 hour drive into 14. Ali was finishing up getting her bi-monthly massage so I was initially greeted by three packages. Inside I…
