  • This Week’s Mail Prizes

    What comes in the mail each week is usually feast or famine. This week though, it was quite the feast. Here’s the haul: The Quest For The Trinity (2 copies courtesy IVP Academic) The Unfolding Mystery of The Divine Name (also courtesy IVP Academic) A Mouth Full of Fire (again, courtesy of IVP Academic and…

  • Triperspectivalism, The Appearance of Evil, and College Football

    Since I recently reached the magic number of 3, I thought I’d share the links to several guest posts I’ve written recently. This one is not all that recent, but I offered some thoughts on triperspectivalism and small groups over at Joey Cochran’s blog: Knowing what someone loves ties into what they functionally worship. Many…

  • Tennessee October In A Single Weekend

    So this was my view out the passenger window late afternoon last Friday. If you wondering, yes, I took a picture while driving and Instagram’d it as well. That’s ok though, there weren’t that many cars on the road at the time, and I’m more or less a professional at this sort of thing (you…

  • New City Catechism iPad App

    Just downloaded this earlier in the week and so far it looks like a great resource! If you’re interested why we would need a new catechism, here’s Tim Keller’s explanation. Also, as it says at the end of the article, “Starting next week on October 22, you can join the one-year campaign to delight in…

  • Catan, Clif Bars, and Commentary on Life in General

    Every now and then, I make a top 10 list. It’s inherently random, and can include just about anything (think like Bryan Allain’s Monday Soup). As part of the existential turn, here’s my current top 10: Playing Settlers of Catan on my iPad Ok, so I was aware of Settlers of Catan back in Dallas.…

  • A Tradition Made To Be Broken

    Back in the day (see picture), I would often blog in bullet points. This is another way of saying, “I wrote like Rob Bell before Rob Bell was cool.” (I also used to wear some pretty sweet belt buckles, most of which I still have.) Maybe it replicates real time thought better, or maybe it…

  • Nehemiah: A Church For The City, The Nations, The Generations

    This coming Sunday is the 3 year anniversary of the church we’re part of here in Florida. So we’re commemorating it with our yearly Vision Sunday. If you’re in the area, you ought to come check us out and see how God has been at work. And, if you’re not currently part of a church…

  • September Editorial

    It is surprising how often I need to be reminded that I live in Florida and don’t have to wait for a special occasion to go to the beach. I actually have been to the beach more since May than I have in the entire rest of my first year in Florida (4>0). Each time…

  • The Lost Autumn Sessions

    About 10 years ago now, I was just getting started on a school free year. It would be my only school free year for another 9+ but I did not know that at the time since I wasn’t really planning on going to college. I had decided I’d had enough of school and after saving…

  • 3 Lessons I Learned Being A Science Teacher

    Though I didn’t mention it much on here, I spent the last year teaching science at a private Christian high school. Luckily that did not involve chemistry (beyond the occasional subbing gig), but it did involve teaching Biology to freshman and Anatomy & Physiology to juniors (and one senior). This itself involved what is probably one of…
