I threw my back out on Friday night lunging for Elijah who needed to be saved from some sort of eminent danger. I save his life hundreds of times a day.
My back is better today. I’ve tried a chiropractor in the past with decent results, but I eventually stopped going. […]

Here’s one for all my fellow thirtysomethings.
You Won’t Believe What Happens at Age 30
The new age of adulthood: 30. Our extended adolescence has really, well, extended. But according to Josh Albertson, Lockhart Steele, and Jonathan Van Gieson, authors of the new “Book of Ages 30,” life begins at 30. Thirty is cool. Party on, dude! […]
Tonight I’m wrapping up my class on the Kingdom of God by unpacking the Lord’s prayer. I take it to be the single best summary of Jesus’ Kingdom message we have in the gospels. If we prayed it slowly and sincerely on a daily basis, rather than mindlessly flying through it, it […]
I didn’t preach this past Sunday. Instead, I worked in the 2-year-old nursery. Our assembly lasts about an hour and a half. The first hour the kids were great. In the last thirty minutes meltdowns started to happen. I was really glad to see the parents start […]
I don’t think Will Johnson liked Revolutions very much.Review in Thunderstruck:
“I would not be exaggerating if I said that this film is by far the most anticlimactic and disappointing film experience of my entire life. My whole body was drained of energy, I walked out slumped over and wanting to wring the Wachowski brother’s […]
I just finished a yoga workout that I have on video. It’s only about the third time I’ve done it and the first time in about three months. I’m can’t believe how much yoga makes me sweat. I think it’s because I’m worried about falling over and breaking something (like my one […]
The Missio Dei identifies God’s purpose in the world to rescue the world, save it, redeem it, restore it. To this end God sent Jesus Christ. By his sacrificial death and resurrection he has conquered the powers of evil. He has sent his Holy Spirit to apply his saving work to the […]
Does Science Matter?
Through its rituals of discovery, science has extended life, conquered disease and offered new sexual and commercial freedoms. It has pushed aside demigods and demons and revealed a cosmos more intricate and awesome than anything produced by pure imagination.
But there are new troubles in the peculiar form of paradise that science has […]
I’ve had several people ask me recently about The Da Vinci Code. I listened to the audiobook this summer and wasn’t overly impressed. The stortelling was decent, but wasn’t as riveting as people were saying. Then again, I had from the beginning a ho hum attitude toward the supposed secret history […]
Heather and I are part of a multi-generational book club. Last night we discussed The Life of Pi. It was great. If you haven’t read this book yet, you must. It’s a great story that will challenge the way you look at zoos and a few other things. I know […]
