A Thousand Words

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

I walk through an alley to get to the coffee house I spend a lot of time in here in DeKalb. This week I passed this and thought it deserved some attention. You really need to click on the larger sizes to see it properly.

Christian Commitment and Intellectual Inquiry

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Be sure to check our Dr. Dockery’s (Presdient of Union University) BP article on Christian Commitment and Intellectual Inquiry. It is an excellent piece and demonstrates why so many good things are happening at Union.
Being a faithful Christian university will involve much more than mere piety or spirituality, which by itself will not sustain the [...]

Block Party

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

The Thorn and McCoy families were invited over to the Block’s for a cook out last night. Dr. Daniel Block taught Old Testament when Steve and I were students at SBTS, and we knew his daughter Jonelle and her husband Douglas while they were students. Douglas is now a military chaplain serving in Iraq and [...]

Seeking God’s Will

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

I am sitting in a local coffee house, the Donnie Darko soundtrack is playing on the store’s sound system, I am half way through both an iced coffee drink, and Mark DeVine’s book, Bonhoeffer Speaks Today. With the SBC, summer, and the Founders Conference I stalled in my reading of it, so I picked it [...]

TMNT

Friday, July 21st, 2006

Some of you watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie back in 1990. I didn’t like it. In 2007 a new TMNT flick will be released - all computer generated. I have to say the teaser trailer look very good, and I am interested. My two year old son sat at my computer watching it [...]

Founders Conference Audio

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

I ran out of time while in OK so I never finished blogging the Founders Conference (what I affectionately call the F-Con, though I doubt that will ever catch on). I at least wanted to let everyone know the audio from the conference is now available at SoundWord.com. It is not free, but you can [...]

A Very Special Friday Photo

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

When the photo is this special, every day is Friday. While at the SBC Steve and I stopped by the Olan Mills booth to get our portrait taken. Getting our serious faces on took a while, and as you can see Steve barely made it. Go to Steve’s site for the big pic.

Weighing in on Alcohol

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Some think too much time has been spent on this issue, and I would agree that a lot of unhelpful things have been written or said. So I thought I would point out a few more contributions to the discussion that are noteworthy.
Ben Cole’s Response to Dr. Akin’s article in the Dallas Morning News.

A Thousand Words

Friday, July 14th, 2006

I passed this sign while in Owasso, OK and had to stop and take some pics.
We are taking off for home in a half hour. If you pray for us, please pray for safe travel. Thanks.
