The world is pretty much on fire due to one petulant man-child.

Thought it was a perfect time to go back and explore this gem.

Watching now. This episode remains just as relevant as it did 27 years ago, a masterpiece and some of the finest 45 minutes of television ever produced.

Hope, hope is the dream.

RFK, Jr., has crossed over from being grossly incompetent to becoming a public danger, as he continues to advocate for actions that risk public health and safety.

The next step is becoming a “clear and present danger to the national security of the United States.”

Yup…this GIF is going to get a lot of play.

It is only Day 58…

I was called “seasoned” today in an entirely complimentary way.

All I could think of was that line from Commander Riker in “The Best of Both Worlds, pt. 1” (TNG S3:E26).

Is it possible to watch too much #StarTrek?

Not my home, however I know my way around.

Here is what I read in January 2025. I was mostly getting caught up on reviews while I started the semester and continued working on my book. The Schultze book was for a last-minute course preparation.

I have seen TEMPLE OF DOOM several times. I was today’s years old when I realized that the club where Indy meets Willie Scott (and fights Lao Che) was the Club Obi Wan.

I really love that Data from GOONIES grew up to become the smart, sophisticated, handsome action hero he always wanted to be.

Look, I agree that “Age of Extinction” is not a good movie, not even a good Transformers movie. However, watching Optimus Prime ride a giant robot T-Rex while wielding a giant metal sword is Bay-ism at its finest.

Two days (so far) of the wonderful Academy of Homiletics annual meeting and two presentations. It is great “seeing” so many friends and hearing such great presentations and preaching! Preaching really does build bridges, as our meeting has proven.

Here is what I read in November, minus a manuscript for a new book on preaching and digital ecclesiology that I have the honor of endorsing.

Starting to work on spring courses and am switching out Twitter for @bsky.app for how students can connect with me on social media. Now if only I could sing. #iykyk

This is the final week of my #cslewis class, and we conclude by looking at a collection of Lewis’ sermons and addresses as well as crafting a picture of Lewis’ influence on how we understand #discipleship.
