Toward a Trinitarian Worldview: Perichoresis
“So where we?” said Vasiliy “I think we were about to talk about what concepts are affected by your starting point in explaining the Trinity.” “One step at a time,” said Vasiliy, “First let’s talk about God as Trinity.” “We still both agree that God eternally exists as three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,…

Self-Titled
It’s days like this that help me keep my past connected with the present. What started out as a rather overcast day that reeked of banality slowly turned into the kind of day that naturally evokes a mixture of emotions. It’s starting to become obviously spring here, which I’m sure will eventually shift into summer…

Toward a Trinitarian Worldview: The Introduction
Martin hated flying. Well, it’s not so much that he hated it, maybe loathed is a better word, but however you decide on word usage in this situation, the truth is, Martin would just rather drive from point A to point B. Nevermind that it would be a stretch to make it from Tampa to…

I should be writing a paper
Alright, no more messing around. Seriously, I mean, why have a blog if you never write in it, right? So, from now on, more updates. First let’s talk about procrastination. Actually, nevermind, I’ll save that for a later post. So I just finished There Will Be Blood, and now I feel the need to add…

A Few Clarifications…

That is just a courtesy warning I extended to you as the reader, you are free to ignore it and wander into the deepest recesses of my ramblings after a relaxing day off spent almost exclusively at Starbucks reading and…

Living in Subjunctive
Life is very much becoming more and more in the subjunctive mood. Not that it is bad or anything at all… It just needs to materialize into a more indicative reality. Starting a band… Researching the heart… Crafting dialogue… Studying theology… Incessantly reading… Planning the ultimate road trip… Hedging out a sabbatical month… Plotting out…

Time Shifting
I suppose an update of some sort is in order, I mean when did I write in here last again? Hold on, I’m going to look it up… Ok, so its been about two weeks, hopefully no one felt deprived of meaning in their life. If you did for some unknown reason, we should probably…

Somewhat of an update…
Most of my blogs seem to start out with, “its been a while hasn’t it?” This one started out with “most of my blogs seems to start out….” which is in fact totally different. But not by much. Not too much has transpired in the life and times of Nate Claiborne, except for the now…

Buckeyes and Backseats
Its finally time to resurrect the bulletin point blogs. Quick note, the new Radiohead is amazing, so the first album you purchase this year should be In Rainbows It was really nice when I got back to Dallas, smelled like spring even. But that changed rather quickly. I did a lot of reading over break,…
Got any book recommendations?
