Jump Jive An' Wail

I'm jumping, jiving, and wailing in celebration of our forthcoming graduation from seminary. I like to imagine that Mr. Setzer currently occupies the job I would have had I not been called by God to something else. Crank it up!

FINISHED!

I turned in my final two papers at about 1:30 pm today. The feeling of relief is so profound that it is accompanied by a sweet taste, like honey.

For those of you still plugging away, know that you're in my prayers. We'll keep the keg cold in the meantime.

On My Last Legs

This imposing stack of books represents the research I've completed for a class entitled "The Church in the Eyes of the Reformers." My final paper will deal with the extent to which the magisterial reformers John Calvin and Martin Luther relied upon natural law theory in their theological works. It's been a fun project so far, and now I'm on the last legs of completing the work.

Christianity and China

I spent some time today in conversation with a married couple that had recently returned from China. While there as "tourists," they engaged in some underground missionary work. Interestingly, official state-sponsored religious participation China is growing substantially. Cool.

Today's Wisdom - From Proverbs

I just read this post over at David's blog. My response is as follows:

When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but the prudent are restrained in speech. (Proverbs 10:19 NRSV)
