I wish I May
So MAYYYY-be I haven’t been the most bloggerific or blogtastic of bloggers lately; I must admit that blogging hasn’t even really been on my radar screen lately. There has just been so much else to worry about–getting (or more realistically NOT) a job, finishing classes, trying to battle a pernicious tendency of mine to procrastinate…

Productive time in Philadelphia
It has been a remarkably productive/positive week for me out here on the Right Coast. This is surprising in some respects, particularly given that it is spring break in Harvardland, and I would have assumed the week would therefore have been more or less forgettable in the wonderfully relaxed sense that a break often is.…

Spinning ever so quickly
Life has been the equivalent of a big, heavy, rubber ball bouncing down an increasingly-steepening slope for the last weeks. Sometimes I feel like I am up in the air, and then “WHOMP” I come bouncing back earth-ward, forced to reconcile with the reality that there is a lot of stuff down there to deal…

What does your Calvin Look Like?
The NYTimes posted an article this week about Mark Driscoll and his church, Mar’s Hill, which they conveniently entitled, “Who Would Jesus Smack Down?” Actually, the article is just as much about Calvinism as it is about Driscoll, in particular what the author calls “New Calvinism.” She writes of Driscoll: What is new about Driscoll…

(currently I have an introduction and ideas), Due in January 1 final comparing Calvin’s exegesis of Genesis 18-19 to Origen’s analysis of the same passage. (currently I have an extension 🙂…
