During last summer I wrote about Olivia (Philip’s little sister) and her diagnosis of brain cancer. Since that time she has undergone more surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy to battle the growth. It’s been a hard 6 months, but in spite of the difficult road, there was a good deal of hope. This past week, the [...]
For those who have been asking. Here are the updated versions (January 2007) of my weak verb charts.
I know I am behind catching everyone else up on what I’ve been doing and thinking, but I will try to post soon.
We are right in the middle of exams and exam preparation. So what’s the best thing to do when you don’t know if you’ll be able to cram all the information into your head? Take a study break…
We decided to surprise our family group and show up at their Christmas party this past Saturday in [...]
I just received an amazing email from Thomas Nelson (The Publishers):
“Your name has been selected as the winner of the MacBook Pro 2.16Ghz.”
They thanked me for registering at their booth at the SBL conference in Washington DC last month (which was promoting the WBC for the Mac…hmmm, I wonder if they’ll include that too?) and [...]
After a full day on Thursday of ETS (Evangelical Theological Society) meetings and a late night getting into my hotel for the SBL (Society of Biblical Literature) I was ready for a wee bit of perspective before launching into a weekend of more meetings.
I love visiting Washington, D.C. (And I’m not really a city person).
I [...]
I know many other bloggers have mentioned this, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to also point people to this wonderful resource. The Great Isaiah Scroll is now available online.
You can scroll through the image (no pun intended… ok, maybe a little bit) and enlarge various sections.
Amazing.
Oh to be in Buffalo today:
I’m doing this because I like Ros and because she is from overseas.
Why do you Blog?
Originally to stay in touch with friends and family when we came to seminary so that they could enter into what we were experiencing. But now I have a complex algorithm that I use to determine what I write about. [...]
No, it’s not a cross between Battlestar Galactica and Dr. Seuss. It’s what’s going on inside the cells of your body.
“The Inner Life of the Cell” takes [Harvard] undergrads beyond textbooks and vividly illustrates the mechanisms that allow a white blood cell to sense its surroundings and respond to an external stimulus. This animation explores [...]
The Summer of 2006 (brief glimpses)…
Visiting the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit in Charlotte, NC with Sarah (and actually being able to read what I saw).
Going down the “big slide” with Ethan at the pool and being egged into jumping off the “high” diving board by John (and doing it). Dancing with Maggie.
Learning to play [...]
This Thursday, July 20, 2006, a major shift will occur in the universe which will radically alter the distance between Philadelphia and Maine.
It will no longer require 10 hours to drive to see our daughter, Hannah, and her family. The distance between us will be reduced to the equivalent of walking across a hallway. [...]
We’ve been away for two weeks and have very many things to share about our time away, our family, our move, and other exciting news. But, first we must share some sad news and ask for prayer. Our daughter Hannah’s sister-in-law, 17-year-old Olivia (Philip’s youngest sister), was found to have a brain tumor just days [...]
Mark has done a fantastic job of describing the new neighborhood we will be moving into. So, I’ll describe a few of the projects that are filling my days and weekends.
For right now the division of labor for work projects is this:
Mark–outside stuff (he’s fully embracing the Adamic task of “tilling the ground” and also [...]
We spent Memorial Day weekend in Durham, NC, visiting Sarah, John, Ethan & Maggie. We had a blast. Not to be outdone by four-year-old Ethan’s antics on the monkeybars (competitive spirits that we are), Sarah and I displayed one of our best monkeybar tricks for the kids.
I actually am looking at the camera… my hair [...]
It seems like every year I mark the transition from course reading to summer reading with an obsessive overload of children’s fiction. Last year it was Lemony Snicket (could anything be more different than reading Turretin, Bavinck, or Vos?). This year (anticipating the need) my daughter, Hannah, gave me a book to read after I [...]
