Yesterday was my half century mark. I ran a little; read and proofed Jonathan Tran's superb upcoming book with Blackwell, The Vietnam War and Theologies of Memory: Time and Eternity in the Far Country; we went to an Indian buffet for a late lunch; I napped; taught a class and bible study at church; and had ice cream cake.
It is a little strange turning fifty. I don't feel "that old" but notice that I have memories of events that stretch farther and farther into the past. For instance I remember listening to Oscar Robertson playing NBA basketball for the Cincinnati Royals. More and more persons look younger than I do when I go out in public. It is interesting to realize that I received my PhD 20 years ago now.
One surprise was that I received notification that I had an article published yesterday in the on-line journal, Didache Faithful Teaching, entitled “When Did Relationship Replace Repentance and Faith?” You can find the link at

I initially gave the paper in a public lecture at Azusa Pacific in the spring of 2008, a lecture to address both pastors and the academic environment. Give is a click and see what you think! For my birthday!!!
