My Goals for 2010

Over at Text, Community, & Mission, Daniel posted on how he did with his goals of 2009. He had some really practical and great things, and he accomplished a lot. This got my brain thinking (I know, surprising) about what I should do this next year. So, here is my list of goals (not resolutions [...]

Top Posts of 2009

Some other people have done it, so I figured that I might as well jump on the bandwagon as well. Here are my top three posts of 2009. Interview with Larry Hurtado – This was the second in my set of interviews of various New Testament scholars. It, by far, has been the most popular [...]

Who Should I Interview?

My interviews kind of fell by the wayside early last month, but that’s alright. I’ve tried other new things. I’ve also been busy at home. But with the new year coming, I’m thinking of starting it back up. So, this is where I turn to you. What NT scholars would you like to see featured [...]

Translation of 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

DVD vs. VHS

So yesterday I talked about analog and digital tv. Today it’s DVDs and VHS tapes. Ok, so I may be jumping into this debate about ten years too late, but I figure it’s ok. This is my blog and I can post what I want. Anyway, the other day my wife and I got a [...]

Analog vs Digital TV

I’m pretty sure that I preferred having analog tv. Now, hear me out on this. With analog tv I didn’t need that little box that is worth just as much as an RF modulator, but is retailing for much more and just adds more cords by my tv. This isn’t too bad though. I can [...]

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hoping yours is as great as my own. MSE

A Corpus Christmas

I just want to let everyone know that Brooke and I escaped a mini-blizzard in north Texas to spend Christmas in Corpus Christi. That’s where she’s from, so we’ll be with her family over the next week. Don’t fret though. I’ll still be posting over these next several days. However I may be a little [...]

Christmas Traditions

Through my life I have had just a few traditions that we did as a family at Christmas. On Christmas Eve we would each get to open one present (my parents would make sure that it wasn’t one of the more important ones so that we could have those the next morning). We would always [...]
