Taylor went ahead with its plans for the formal inauguration ceremony for President Habecker this morning. The gym was packed like it was graduation day. (On a side note, I kind of like being on the faculty – last ones in, first ones to leave!) The gym was very dark; a large [...]
Yesterday afternoon, after our faculty meeting, I took a long, slow walk around the loop, just watching people, seeing what they were doing, what their body language said, what the feel of the campus was. I had a pad of paper with me, so I jotted down some notes. Last night Tara asked [...]
when it rains, it pours..
Last week, one of my old high school acquaintances died with four other graduate students in a plane crash. His funeral was this morning back at AU.
Last night, four Taylor students and one staff member were killed in a head-on interstate collision. One other student and three other [...]
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Or, perhaps, it was the worst of times, and then it was the best of times.
In my second afternoon class today, I passed back their tests from before Easter break. One of my students (who has shared some interesting comments about the usefulness [...]
Last Friday, Tara and I went down to Indy for the Good Friday service at WPBC. A tremendous sermon-disrupting hailstorm broke out in the middle of the service, and many cars were later found to have multiple dents from the larger-than-golf-ball-sized hail that fell. Afterwards, we found ourselves at Dave and Claudia’s house, [...]
Sitemeter (click on my counter) provides me with some interesting info about who finds this blog. Among today’s interesting finds:
Google search for “S3dconnector” (second page of results!)
Google search for “random letter generator” (first page of results!)
Google UK search for “how many of each letter in my sentence”
That makes me wonder if I should make [...]
Today was the annual towel-distributing / feet-washing chapel service at the seminary. It was a neat experience … Each graduating student has the opportunity to say something to the community, and I enjoy hearing what they have to say. The most profound speakers were those who said the least, at least in terms [...]
Last week in the worship class, we practiced reading scripture aloud as if we were participating in a worship service. Many interesting comments were made – the rule for each speaker was that positive comments were to be given first, followed by a time of sharing “ways to improve.”
When my turn came, I read [...]
Is there no equity in the world?
I went to the AU mail center yesterday under the assumption that I could buy two-cent stamps there (so that our lonely 37-centers might find soulmates). After asking the lady whether she sold such stamps, I learned that if I had envelopes ready to mail (except for said [...]
Lately I’ve been inundated with spam-type comments on this blog… anything from Viagra ads to … well, that really pretty much describes the genre completely. So today I decided to do something (permanent) about it. After a little hunting around, I found a wonderful Wordpress plug-in called Captcha!. It’s pretty slick… small, [...]
