I leave for Israel after church tomorrow and time is tight. A few short items that I’ve collected recently: Here’s a good blog post for my readers traveling along (or thinking about traveling along) the PhD route. There’s a few things I might add, but it’s very insightful as it stands. Here are some people… Read More »
IBEX has a new promotional video. It will be out on DVD soon, but you can see it online now at the TMC website. The video was produced by Robert Ham and Jodi Dyck. If you know anyone in college who wants to know the Bible better and who’s not afraid of a little bit… Read More »
It looks like I’m not going to say much about Spring Break, given that some time has passed and I really need to spend a lot more time with my friend Jehu. I’ll say simply that it was probably my best Spring Break when I didn’t leave home. Admittedly, it feels weird to call wherever… Read More »

My wife grew up in Green Bay, so no more explanation need be given of why she is a Packers fan. I grew up in southern California, so it may not be readily obvious why I am a Cowboys fan. Perhaps it was because their training camp was in the next town over (Thousand Oaks). … Read More »
If you haven’t heard about the Desiring God National Conference in Minneapolis this past weekend, you can get all of the audio (or video) files for free.
