Thanks Sonny and Mike for their comments on the previous post (Is God a Capitalist?). My response was a bit lengthy, so I’ve made it into another post. May the conversation continue…

Sorry it’s been a while since our last post. Hopefully, there are still a few folks who will drop in every now and again to read or share.
Dee is doing well. Actually, she’s working on her dissertation today (meeting with her adviser this afternoon). She’s making good progress in her studies and very much enjoys [...]

We were discussing the benefits and possible detriments of each. This conversation took place on the heels of a project that I’ve been working on in 1 and 2 Corinthians.
Throughout the Corinthian correspondence, the author, Paul, has [...]

Shannon and I have been out of town for about a week and a half. I had a math conference in Gainesville, Florida for a few days. On our way back to Ga, we visited some friends in Valdosta (Jason, Candy and Joshua). Then, we went to visit our families in Vidalia, GA while Shannon [...]
