How am I just now learning that Jonathan Edwards owned slaves? Seems like something that should have come up.
Scala is a contender, but it seems possibly too difficult for our very junior staff. Is Kotlin too new? Is Groovy a dying language?
Real talk. Kafka seems to want to force you on to the JVM get to the full API. What’s the least bad JVM language? Specifically, I don’t want Java dependency management or crazy verbose syntax.
So done! VDS Assignment list is empty and will forever remain so!
God willing, I just submitted my last academic assignment to VDS. Unless I royally borked this paper, I’m officially done with divinity school!
I preached a thing. — Easter Peace be With You ⛪️
Dollywood was incredibly crowded yesterday — two hours to get into the park! — but it was incredible to spend time with my parents, wife, and kids. 🦋
I’m not getting all the hate towards the NFL Draft. Like, I’m not a sportsball guy, but I do love tourism tax money building my greenways and parks.
There is no greater sermon than this. Christ is Risen! — St John Chrysostom’s Easter Sermon
Anyone know of a good Python interop language? Python’s fine for scripting, but I hate writing modules. Any way to write modules in C#, Java, etc. that can be used within Python?
For me, this Wink outage is the final straw. Loved Wink while it worked, but the writing is on the wall. SmartThings Hub is on the mail. status.winkapp.com
Come children, let nightmare clown teach you the colors…
Notre Dame, for me, has been a visible indicator of the state of Christianity in the West. I knew we had lost it, but seeing a cathedral burn was hard. I pray God reawakens Europe’s heart for him! Our Lady of Paris, ora pro nobis!
I will note that Ælfric’s views of Jews is very “period appropriate.” It’s sad to see how that bit of the Gospel light was so easily missed by even great men like him.
Reading the sermons of Ælfric of Eynsham is a little mind blowing. Like, he could preach his sermon for Palm Sunday today and it would completely fit. Over a thousand years later!
Such a great interview with Ekemini Uwan. May God continue to bless her ministry! Pass the Mic
Sunday I preached about wicked tenants, sons who are actually stones, and judgement. Give it a listen if you’re into that sort of thing. ⛪️ Stone: Downfall of the Wicked
So, “fun” VDS lecture. Hauerwas, Lindbeck, Milllbank and their schools of theology (narrative, post-liberalism, radical orthodoxy) are white, racist reactions to liberation theology. — Two more lectures, y’all. Two more.
And, my first freely-selected post divinity school book is… Missa Est!: A Missional Liturgical Ecclesiology - Fortress Press 📚
I just submitted my last essay of my MDiv. Man, this feels good! Three lectures and an exam and I go back to getting about my Father’s business!
Last essay of my MDiv and I’m still looking up how to cite something in the SBL Handbook. 🤦♀️
People walked out of this? Lord, have mercy! This was amazing!
Question: If there were a German language worship service in Nashville, would you be interested?
“Daddy, I want black Cheerios.”
Just finished by last mid-term. One essay (Friday) and a final (4 weeks) from being done! PRAISE THE LORD!
