  • Wednesday 26 | Thanksgiving humor

    As many of you will undoubtedly be either isolated from the internet (visiting family) or extra close to the internet (sharing with family) I thought I’d pass on these classic Thanksgiving themed images and jokes early.

  • Tuesday 25 | The Theoanthropos – a hypostatic union

    Just wanted to give a heads-up/shout-out about a wonderfully fascinating conversation going on over at Blogogetics.com right now.

Hypostatic means a state union between two substances, ousias, [...]

  • Tuesday 25 | Corbin’s 1st Birthday Party

    On Saturday we celebrated Corbin’s 1st birthday with some friends and family at the Aztec Park in La Mesa. It was kind of a last minute decision to have his party early, but I think it was a good choice. My biggest concern was whether or not the weather would cooperate and it ended up [...]

  • Friday 21 | This is not a briefcase

    It may look like one, but it is not one. Twice now, people have commented on what an unusual briefcase I have. What’s unusual, is its not a briefcase – nor am I using it as one. But maybe I should. Its the right size for holding both letter and legal size documents and there’s [...]

    Recently received in my inbox. Regardless of your feelings about Christians, persecution and violence is wrong. Dear beloved sponsors and friends of Good News India.

  • Sunday 9 | I’m looking to borrow these books

    I’m looking to read these books, bu with money being so tight, I’d thought I’d ask if anyone has them to loan. Since this is only practical if you live near me don’t worry about it if you don’t. Plus, its usually cheaper to buy the books than to ship them back and forth. But [...]

Take a look at his 10-part series on Homosexual Hermeneutics. I’ve linked to all ten parts here with highlighted text to help understand the topic of each. i would encourage [...]

  • Monday 3 | Gospel and State – regarding Prop 8

    Tom over at Blogogetics.com wrote a post about California’s Prop 8. It’s well worth the read. After talking to individuals within our church I have come to understand that there is widespread confusion as to how being faithful to Scripture, through political action, to help encourage city-wide shalom (peace), is attained. In other words I [...]

  • Monday 3 | Corbin is 11 months old!

    Corbin: energetic, funny, loving, curious, laughs and smiles constantly, makes friends easily, easy going, loves riding in the stroller and taking in the scenery, ridiculously picky about the consistency of his food, claps his hands, has five teeth, and gets frustrated when he rolls onto his tummy. There are so many other fun things about [...]
