As I have noted before, because I am busy working on my dissertation, I have mostly limited my blogging to doing 140 character tweets on Twitter the last couple of years. Here is another 3 month batch–about 90 tweets–about one each day. Again, I hope these are useful resources for those who "follow" me and those who would want to read my blog. In other words, I am trying to link to things I have found interesting and others might be interested in as well. The general topics tend to be theology, church ministry, leadership, and higher education. Someday perhaps these tweets will be blogged about and expanded on. They are something of a intellectual journal.
Greetings to all,
Andy
