Theological Musings

or those of you who have been remembering this in prayer, I wanted to let you know that finally, after a six-month process, I have found out that I did not get the position at Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA that I had hoped for.  So, for the present time, we will be remaining here in Boone.  The news was a bit hard to receive, but at the same time, I’m just very glad to finally know (six months is a long time to be going through a process like this).  Thank you all for your prayers.  And a belated Happy New Year to you all!  More substantive posts will hopefully follow…

still don’t have time to write any of the substantive posts that are in my mind, but I must link to a post over at Emerging Grace called Embodiment.  It deals with some little-heard aspects of incarnational living that I think we all would do well to meditate on and mull over.  There is much about Christ in us that we don’t seem to understand, even though the very scriptures that so many hold so dear talk plainly about it!  Grace includes some passages of scripture that have been really stirring around in me for about a year or so.  So, go read it while you continue to wait for me to get my blogging act together!

e just got back home after our trip to SEBTS for the “Original or Not: The Last 12 Verses of Mark” conference.  There is much I would love to write, but it might not get done tonight.  In the meantime, head on over to Alan’s blog or Lew’s blog to see their live-blog summaries of the sessions.  I didn’t take my laptop, so they definitely beat me to the punch!  We had a great time meeting Alan and several others.  I will tell you all about it later, but for now, I want to say a brief “thank you” to Alan for coordinating some fellowship times together, and to the rest of the gang we hung out with.  Blessings on you all!

e’re leaving in a few minutes to drive to PA for my oldest niece’s wedding.  As far as I know, I will not have access to the Internet until we return Sunday evening, with the possible exception of a short visit online just to check email, etc.  So, I will likely be unable to respond to any comments while I’m gone.  Have a blessed weekend, everyone, and play nice while I’m gone!

…and all I can say is, you had to be there! I wanted to write a post about it, but I have no words.  It was just awesome. Raborn, Erica, Lisa, David, Freida, Tom, and of course my lovely wife, Christy, I love you all, and am so blessed to fellowship with you.  Thank you all (and thank You, Lord!) for an amazing time of sharing Christ with each other.
