Ways you know #UChicago is a special kind of different place:
The chalkboard in your classroom at The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures contains Classical Hebrew attestations of לשאת alongside playful hyroglyphs tucked around equations for diagonal matrices. Y'know, Tuesday.

You swing by a friend's office as a favor, and you get some free Kraft Mac & Cheese on the walk home. Just another day in the neighborhood. #InTheLoop #Chicago

When selecting costumes, the biggest little fans of the @chicagocta.bsky.social asked to dress as 'L' directional signs for two of their favorite lines.
And, yes, they're both Loop-bound trains according to the back.

I want to live in a 2025 in which streaming services feature the 1994 live-action animated classic The Pagemaster. I'm not saying it's the most important thing we need right now. I am saying it'd be an inestimable catharsis and an indication of how much better we're doing than we would be otherwise.

On Friday, I had the honor to share my research on "Dirty Words in the Book of Job: Excavating a Poetic Vocabulary of Divine Participation" with the Wesleyan Theological Society at Baylor University's Truett Theological Seminary.

Then, after our flight home, I stopped by Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church—the site of the First General Assembly, hosted by First Church of the Nazarene in Chicago in 1907, where the first in a series of foundational mergers that culminated at Pilot Point began.

Yesterday, after presenting to the Wesleyan Theological Society at Truett Seminary on "Interdependence as Participation: An Eccelesiology of District Administration," Charles Perabeau and I made a pilgrimage to Pilot Point, TX—site of the 2nd General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene in 1908.

There's no thrill quite like taking two boys, ages six and two, on an 'L' ride. We do this nigh infrequently, but you'd think it's the first time. Every. Time. Never do we look more like tourists in our own city as when we're approaching a train platform.

May I stress the need for courageous, intelligent, and dedicated. ... Leaders of sound integrity. Leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. Leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the greatness of the cause.

Doting on my wife:
Among her grand achievements of 2024 (besides enduring me another 366 days), she crocheted 🧶 a temperature blanket: 378 squares, 18x21 with tweed spacers twixt each month, in 10 colors (inspired by the opening shot of Mary Poppins) for the daily high in Chicago.
