Yesterday, things got quite eventful in front of the Hill University Center at UAB. While I was finishing up a book by NT Wright, a friend spotted me in a nearby foyer. He and I chatted a bit until finally it was time for his class. As he was packing up, he asked if I [...]

Dee and I hope to have everything packed up and ready to move by tomorrow. We’ll be moving most everything on Saturday morning (with the help of a few friends). We’re excited to say the least about the new place. It’s a bit closer to the church and still has good access to the interstate [...]

I’ve been a Christ follower for just over ten years now. When I first surrendered my life to God, through faith in Jesus, a friend of mine (the fellow who led me to the Lord) kept reminding me over and over – “Shannon, you’ve got to be ‘in it to win it’.” At first, I [...]

Recently, I read a thought-provoking article by John Ortberg called, “Your Hidden Curriculum,” found in the winter 2009 volume of Leadership Journal (a good journal I might add that can be found at Barnes & Noble).
