A few things I’ve spotted around the Internet recently: The end of the year means the inevitable “year in review” lists.  Here is a list of “Top 10 Theology and Church Stories” (with many supporting links) from Colin Hansen. Accordance recounts a brief (and recent) history of the study Bible.  [Accordance is my Bible study […]

Books and audio updated

I have to come up with an easier and less time-consuming way to update my “currently reading” and “recently on my iPod” pages.

Talk to yourself

My children somewhat regularly catch me talking to myself — “what did you say, Dad?”  “Huh?  Oh, nothing.  I’m just talking to myself…” And even if it is not audible, everyone engages in much self-talk each day.  In fact, the theologian you consult on the most regular basis is almost certainly yourself.  For you listen […]

Good listening

I spend a fair bit of time each week either in my car or on a piece of exercise equipment where I can listen to sermons and lectures that are good for the edification of my soul.  If you likewise are interested in adding some beneficial sermons to your iPod, you might consider the audio […]
