I don’t really like it when a full week goes by and I don’t have a chance to blog - it’s like I get creatively constipated and then I don’t know where to begin.
Aside from just getting back into the swing of things and playing catch up since returning from Afghanistan, I have been busy [...]

I have posts coming on both my recent trip to Afghanistan as well as a follow up to the video on how McCain and Obama each answered Rick Warren’s question about evil.

I don’t think I know anyone, student, faculty, or staff person, who more personally embodies the ethos of Fuller Theological Seminary than its president, Richard Mouw.
