Musings on Education, Technology, Pop Culture, Religion & Staying Curious
I just finished moving all of the old blog entries to the new blog and I’m exhausted (there are over 150 entries!). One thing that I noticed was that I was really working my way through the book of Matthew in 2004 and 2005 with as many as three postings a week in 2004. I [...]
Matt. 26:1-16 – Intentions Having finished teaching the disciples “all these things” Jesus reminds them of his intended destination, the cross. Interestingly Matthew doesn’t record the disciples reaction (at least not here). At the same time the religious rulers plot to bring Jesus down, but it is not their intention to do it when it [...]
Accordance Training @ Fuller Seminary Mac/Computer & Bible geeks in one space… how scary is this? Beyond the scariness of being among persons who qualify as geeks in two realms, this is a bit dangerous for me in that I’m feeling the pull of this life that I used to live over twenty years ago [...]
Matt. 25:31-46 The Parable of the Final Judgment This image of Jesus separating the good people from the bad people, like a shepherd separating sheep from goats, is something that I remember as a Catholic kid growing up. It expressed the kind of relationship that I thought we had with God, him being the judge [...]
I’ve been sitting on this parable for over a week (or longer…). The last one (“The Ten Virgins”) seemed to speak about having an active sense of preparedness. What I liked was something that I understood from the “IVP Hard Sayings” commentary, that the foolish virgins’ error was something they could learn from and at [...]
J. Vernon McGee is going to lap me… ugh. I guess that’s the difference between covering a chapter a day and a chapter every couple of weeks. I should be moving much faster than this. [sigh] I was listening to a podcast about the work being done by “open source” programmers and the guy mentioned [...]
I’m a bible geek. I know I’ve mentioned it before in December 2004 and August 2003. Anyway, I was doing some late summer cleaning, throwing stuff out, moving stuff and i moved my collection of bibles to a place outside their former closet space. That’s personal history, right there. Every one of those books played [...]
I have taken far too long before addressing these passages of scripture and spending time listening to Jesus’ Olivet Discourse. A lot of my own difficulties over the past months could have been less difficult had I stayed closer to the Word. A speaker this past week at the “In His Presence” conference referred to [...]
