		<title>My First Book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After taking a week-long hiatus from all things media (including my big time wasters: galleryD, Aperture and iMovie) I decided to finally put together a photo book from one of our trips over the past year. I&#8217;m fairly pleased with how it turned out, although I would have liked a little more flexibility with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…and then got more than she had bargained for. We&#8217;ve been cautiously letting Abigail have more and more freedom around Samuel. She seems to be able to distinguish him from food now. Our real worry has never been that she would consciously hurt him, but rather that she would trip over him, or forget she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waiting on God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My sermon from this morning: 1 Kings 19:11-18 The Lord said [to Elijah], “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of Yahweh, for Yahweh is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before Yahweh, but Yahweh was not in the wind.

		<title>Living in the Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not content to let two months go by without making a little headway on my M.Div degree, I signed up for two courses this summer — the first course is really a practicum project related to my ministerial internship, while the other is a pretty intense introduction to urban and social ministry; in fact, that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Caswell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I arrived late. The rest of my group had made it to Caswell early in the afternoon. My summer class ran long and I wasn&#8217;t able to leave Raleigh until nearly 7 p.m. By the time I got to the western bank of the Waterway the sun was just slipping under the distant horizon, leaving [...]]]></description>

		<title>Emotional Connections in a 3G World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no denying Apple Computers has been on a roll lately. Just a few months ago they debuted the iPad, a revolutionary touch screen computer that really has no competition on the market now or in the foreseeable future. Perhaps most amazingly, they packed all of this cutting edge technology — gyroscopes, microprocessors, next generation [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tale of Two Kings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a manuscript of the sermon I preached earlier tonight. As I said in an earlier post, one of my great challenges in sermon writing has been seeing the sermon as more of a conversation than an essay. With this goal in mind, most of my sermons have ended up being perhaps too colloquial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bath Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last remnant of Samuel&#8217;s umbilical cord finally fell off on Wednesday, which means he got to have his first real bath. No more sponge baths and warm-water massages. He was a little hesitant at first, but he took the plunge and liked it. I am way behind on pictures, and even more behind on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Samuel?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People have asked and I haven&#8217;t given a good answer yet. A comprehensive explanation is probably not possible, but I hope to begin to answer this question for myself, my son, and anyone else who may be curious. While it was one of the most significant things we have done as a family, naming our [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve barely had time to seriously reflect on my first semester at Divinity School. My summer classes, and a propitious summer internship, will be starting up next [...]]]></description>

We were blessed with the opportunity to host both of our moms, as well as Kristen&#8217;s two grandmas, for a Mother&#8217;s Day [...]]]></description>

		<title>False Perceptions: what is real?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, James Williams, a 21-year-old WakeTech student, was fatally shot in an otherwise peaceful neighborhood in a small town outside of Raleigh. Moments later, Curtis Lee, 24, called 911 to report the shooting. During the phone conversation, Lee told dispatchers he shot Williams because &#8220;He drove up, man — and I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coffee in the Mule City</title>

We noticed signs around the neighborhood pointing towards a new coffee shop on Railroad Street, so we strolled down to check it out. The store was closed, but looking through the windows it was obviously a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preaching in the Crisis</title>

Considering it deals with the same text (John 6) that I discussed in my last post, I thought it would be appropriate to offer it as an alternative perspective. This sermon was delivered at Butler Chapel on January 19, during the first chapel service I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Problem of Freedom</title>

How can he support the murder of children? How can he condone the genocide of those people? Why would God let such a good, [...]]]></description>

My classes have challenged me academically and spiritually, but most of all I&#8217;ve come to a fuller appreciation of God&#8217;s love for us.
