  1. Went to agape farms today in Grabouw, a place of extraordinary divine grace through faithful Christians.
  2. heartbreaking extreme poverty and child deprivation here in cape town townships...students deeply affected and wrestling with their response
  3. @JSmith102090 It's a done deal@ SA reunion at the Creek.
  4. I went to South Africa and braves lose every single game. so that means it is my fault. i apologize.
  5. enjoying awesome CN students and amazing Cape Town scenes; grieved over great poverty and often great misery of townships here.
  6. Heading into 6wks of service, teaching, and learning in South Africa, UK, and Israel. Glad to leave US & go where there's no controversy. :)
  7. Another solid victory for @Braves. This team is for real.
  8. I will save what I don't admire for my upcoming review in Jnl Church and State. But it's important to try to learn something from everyone.
  9. After reading his memoir, I see three things to admire about Dick Cheney: clear conviction, a life that mattered, thick skin re. criticism.
  10. Surprised to be reminded that 1 Jn 5:16-17 already distinguishes between mortal sin and lesser sin. "All sins are the same before God"? No.
  11. Spent day reading R Cheney's memoir which I will review w/ GWB's in Jnl of Church and State. Spoiler alert: Cheney much more interesting.
  12. @jwilson1812 Hmmm. It's basically, well, a book.
  13. Finished proofs for A New Evangelical Manifesto. Essays by McLaren, Cizik, Stassen, Martin, etc & great younger voices. tinyurl.com/6m7oqv2
  14. Drunk women in 9th: "I want to F--- you Kimbrel. I want to have your babies." @Braves staff did nothing to stop it. 312L Row 9, just fyi.
  15. Loved @Braves victory. Did NOT enjoy the 2 drunk women one row back cursing loudly thru the game for my 87 year old father in law to hear.
  16. Which reminds me to say that my big tome on the sacredness of life is now just 7 months away from Eerdmans release date. 7 years work...
  17. Just completed my 7000 word "Christian Theological Account of Human Worth" for presentation at Oxford conference on human dignity in June!
  18. New discovery in 1 John 4:7-21: The epistemological power of love. How do we know there is a God and we are of God? If we love people.
  19. My discouraged comments on total US govt gridlock: abpnews.com/content/view/7…
  20. Romney will be much more credible v. Obama if he doesn't take odd, almost caricatured foreign policy positions to the right of his own GOP.
