Taught two classes today. Recorded an online lecture before 6am. Rolled into the terminal at MKE five minutes before departure. Dodged a snow storm on the way.
My point? I’m on my way to #sblaar24 but I was never combobulated to begin with.

I think my abstract has been accepted (or not?) to Oxford Patristics. See those of you who like Origen, Paul, or Origen and Paul there. Hopefully.

My favorite day in Intro NT is my “Here’s some bits of Stoic physics… Now here’s Paul talking about baptism and the Spirit” lecture. The red dots are πνεύμα, drawn last week in my setup lecture. Today, I draw “clothing in Christ” and “Christ formed in you” in there.

It’s one of those “Crushed moth on your student’s paper” days. My scribble reads: “Sorry (student)! A moth found its way into my grading folder and then got crushed in my bag! Sic transit gloria mundi.”
