am I sick? it’s hard to tell. I’ve felt pretty much awful for the past two days. Even teaching this afternoon was difficult … at times I felt like leaving and lying down. I’m not to the throw-up stage yet, but trust me, it’s on my mind.
ick. that rhymes [...]
So we had our first snowstorm of the year last night/this morning, and today’s one of the days that Tara is supposed to drive into Indy for work. She made it safely, thankfully, and hopefully she and Melissa will be able to make it back safely tonight after Melissa flies in this evening.
I kind [...]
WOW. If you’re at all interested in chess, and if you have (a) a chess board and (b) a few free minutes, then play through this game. I just finished playing on yahoo.com against a guy whose win/loss/draw record there is 1586-1058-133 (win percentage around 57%, which is pretty good), and whose rating [...]
This is, of course, the coldest week of the post-summer year here in Indiana. Today we woke up to a light dusting of snow that partially covered the grass… a first for the year. Another first was the turning-on of our furnace, which occurred last night when we were both really cold indoors. [...]
It’s finally happened… I’m official here at Taylor. A guy from maintenance just came up here and installed my very own nameplate on my office door:
Think it’s an improvement on my old nameplate?
In other news, it seems like I’m famous if you’re looking for exegesis on the book of Obadiah… the sitemeter.com referral [...]
Yesterday, TU held a talk given by Dr. Dowling, one of my favorite professors from my days at Miami. I had him for three different classes during my four semesters there… he was always quick to answer our homework questions (with near solutions, making our work much easier) … so he was a favorite [...]
… is finished. read all about it at my seminary paper website… I’m mostly satisfied with how this paper turned out. It’s a little different in structure than the papers I’ve written in the past, but I took that route intentionally this time. I’m not sure it worked perfectly, but I [...]
…that’s how I feel my week has been. Always moving from one thing to the next. If it’s not teaching, it’s seminary, and if it’s not seminary, it’s my term paper for seminary, and if it’s not that, it’s shopping or doing the dishes or … well, playing baseball on the PS2. [...]
Yesterday in choir practice at church, I had a really interesting experience with vocal overtones. The choir was depleted of most of its altos for various reasons, so Tara was the only one singing that part. There were three sopranos, three tenors, and four basses, our (mostly) usual complement. I don’t remember [...]
Today’s chapel message was a very, very good one.. this week is the Second Annual Charles Simeon Sermons week, which doesn’t mean much to most 2002 TU grads (or others, for that matter). Apparently, Charles Simeon was an early 19th century pastor in Cambridge, England who worked diligently through the plain teaching of [...]
