Finally an Answer!


This is compliments of David Richmond and it is probably the answer to a bunch of the crazy question we ask.

What's Up

So once again its been a while since I've put anything on here. Actually it's been a while since I've even looked at this blog, let alone since anyone else has probably looked at it. I feel like life has been pretty busy. Basically just school and all. Since I've posted anything Easter passed, which I spent with a bunch of really fun people down in Chattanooga. I went by my old house from when I lived there in seventh grade. I don't really know why I did that. I really wasn't that nostalgic. I kept remembering how I used to skateboard in the garage. That was really fun. My mom helped me find the place on the phone as she looked at signal mountain on Google Earth. Technology is awsome! Here's a couple pictures from the weekend:

Nevermind, that's not working. Hmm..

I'm going back down there this weekend (which I'm stoked about) and then the following weekend I'm heading up to the beautiful state of Washington for a weekend with the Acton Institute, for their weekend conference entitled "Towards a Free and Virtuous Society". It's pretty sweet, they pay for the whole deal and I get to spend an extra day at home visiting the fam. Oh yeah, and I get to learn about economic and social justice and how they relate to the freedom of humanity, their being made in God's image, and how, still holding to freedom, society and government is to promote virtue and morality. I've read a couple of the articles in the reading packet that I'm to have done by the time I get there and I think the whole experience will be very stimulating. I'm going with Gustavo and Stephen Jones. It'll be nice to have some friends to spend the time with and to bounce questions off of.

I picked up five hours a week as a research assistant to one of my favorite teachers here at Covenant, Professor Perry. All I will really be doing is his footnoting for his disertation. I still don't really know what it's on. Something in Luke-Acts. It should be a good learning experience for me and it'll hopefully give me a better idea if I should go on and do the ThM after the Mdiv, which is what my current plan is.


I still want to write something about NTW's lectures on the sacraments but most of it is grounded on a strong belief in the implications of the New Creation. I like that stuff alot, but I'm not yet fully convinced. I think I'll try to read his book The Resurrection of the Son of God this summer (it's a 900 pager!). That'll give me a better understanding of what he believes some of the implications of the resurrection are.


I think that'll be it for now. I wish the pictures would be working so I could share some. No one will probably read a blog entry without photos. I wouldn't.

Oh, here's a video that I took the other day at a concert that one of the dudes from my church gave.
