the long way home (coming soon)

Yeah, I know, I had the last post in that Transgenderism series (Part I, Part II) due today.  But, as of today, Pennsylvania has just received the most snow ever on record.  It’s pretty nuts.  So, today I’ve just been lazily hanging out with some friends from seminary and did not feel [...]

Personal goal for next week: write like nobody’s business.
I hate that it’s been almost two weeks since my last “real post”.  I’m sorry.  I need to be okay with using this blog actually as a blog and not a magazine where I’m the sole writer.  I want to engage you all more.  As has been [...]

I don’t know why, but I’ve been in an increasingly political mood recently.  My blog-crastination (my perusal of blogs and news outlets to avoid doing other things with my time) has been almost exclusively centered around politics rather than my usual intake of theology, evangelicalism, and culture.  So, expect some political writing for the next [...]

Hey blogosphere -
it’s been a little while since I posted anything and a while since I posted a really substantive post up here.  Apologies.  I have several articles in the works that I’m really excited about that I’m working on for both this blog and other places.  The past couple of days I’ve been absolutely [...]

I was updating my Author page on this site tonight, and I was reminded once more of this quote that struck me so powerfully by poet Joe Weil.  It’s from a great interview posted on Patrol Magazine a while back.  I wrote about it when I originally first found it almost exactly a year ago. [...]

This is what a friend at another Liberti campus recently sent this out.  She’s been asked by a ministry called Compassion to look for a sponsor for a 9-year old Ethiopian named Dinku Dejene.  His birthday is August 21; he lives with his stepfather, mother, and sibling; [...]

In order from left-to-right:

Catechism of the Catholic Church (still Protestant, don’t worry)
Anglican Book of Common Prayer (1789)
Christian Origin Series (N.T. Wright)

Vol 3: The Resurrection of the Son of God (from Amazon)
Vol 2: Jesus & the Victory of God (from Amazon)
Vol 1: The New Testament & the People of God (from Amazon)

Justification (N.T. Wright) (from Amazon)
NICOT Commentary [...]

Yes, this is late notice.  Yes, probably no one will get this in time to come out if they weren’t already planning on coming, but nevertheless:
Joel Rakes and Turning Violet, Violet are playing tonight at World Cafe Live at 8pm.  The show is going to be amazing.  If you can come out, you should.  Get [...]

I’m doing a lot of moving around the city and country this week, not to mention I have a really good friend from Richmond visiting all this week (and longer perhaps), so I’m not going to be as frequent with the blog this week (if at all). Sorry I’m a little late in getting [...]

Well, it’s Monday, so it’s time for My Fav Monday, my new weekly post where I plug or review one of my favorite things. I’ve been thinking all week what would be the first thing I would talk about to kick this whole thing off. I had some ideas early yesterday: a podcast, TV show, [...]
