Cindi and I are on the third day of our eight-day East Coast trip to New York and Boston. It’s been a refreshing few days together, which was the goal — to spend some good quality time together after four years of seminary, to celebrate Cindi’s first Mother’s Day, and to enjoy each other during … More New York, New York
The following are loose quotes from John Hannah as he lectured on Edwards’ writings on the Trinity. Edwards never actually wrote a treatise on the Trinity that was meant for publication, so we don’t know what such a treatment would’ve been like or what it would’ve included or what shape it would’ve taken. But Edwards did write enough … More Wit and Wisdom from John Hannah (11)

Today I spent eight hours reading Freedom of the Will, one of Jonathan Edwards’ most intense writings. It’s my last assignment for my Winterim class, and it’s a Th.M.-specific assignment. We were allowed to choose one of three major Edwards works, read it, and write a ten-page analysis and critique of it: History of Redemption, Original Sin, or … More How Jonathan Edwards Made Me Laugh

The guy RD’s decided to hike Half-Dome in Yosemite this weekend (Jeff Lewis, Dave Hulet, Siona Savini, and I). The only other time I was in Yosemite is long enough ago for me not to remember anything about it. I’ll certainly remember this time, though. The hike was 15.2 miles roundtrip. We gained around 4,800 feet … More Climbing Half Dome in Yosemite National Park
I just finished rapping publicly for the second time in eight days. I don’t know what’s going on. The first time was at an all-fun-and-games Skit Night, and it went along with my dorm’s ghetto skit. Today was at the end of a discussion about the TMC handbook (which is almost like a ghetto skit). … More That’s a Rap
My brother Mike and I spent some good time together today. We went to the X-Games, which have been held here in Los Angeles for the past few years. Most of you probably know what the X-Games are, but in case you don’t, they’re basically the Olympics of extreme sports (in case you don’t give … More You Can Know a Lot about a Man…

I’m currently working on a historical biography of Jonah for my History of Israel class, and let me just say this: You really don’t want to disobey God’s call for your life. Seriously. No matter how hard it might be, it’s just a bad idea to go against what God tells you to do. I’m … More The Guy Got Swallowed by a Whale
I’m currently taking two two-week seminary classes: Exegesis of Deuteronomy in the morning and History of Israel in the afternoon. There are a ton of great things I’m learning that I’d love to post about, but there’s really no time. So, this: Graham Poll, a 42-year-old English referee who’s working the World Cup, just retired … More “Something Isn’t Quite Right”
Cindi and I are in Oklahoma right now with our parents, relaxing, which I've been realizing is a novel idea to me. I once wrote a twenty-two page seminary paper on the biblical concept of rest, but I haven't learned to apply what I learned yet. Learning how to rest biblically can be hard work. But … More From Oklahoma
