What Has Been Going On

So, what has been going on guys? Things have been rather quiet around here. I don&#8217t expect anyone to still be around...but hi anyway! Now begins the obligitory &#8220I have not blogged in like forever&#8221 post.

Alright, some factoids for those who care. My next post will actually have real content ;)

• I still live in Dallas. I still have one wife and three kids. I also now own fish.
• I am still a developer by trade and I still love it. I am also still at the same job I was last time. Lots of tech stuff has changed over the last few years but you guys may not really care about that. If so, follow my technical blog. I have actually been updating things there.
• My forays into early Christianity have continued. I have spent less time in the world of textual criticism and manuscript reading. TC itself isn&#8217t that huge of an interest for me but I do enjoy manuscript reading still. Need to do more of that...
• Perhaps the most mind-opening study I have been doing has been in far eastern Christianity, as in east of the Eastern Orthodox, among the so-called "Assyrian Orthodox." There is a lot of interesting stuff there and a lot more for me to learn.
• In the meantime I actually studied a little Latin, but just enough to make me feel guilty for quitting again. I think I made it through a little over a quarter of Wheelock this time.
• I am still attending FBC Parker, a reformed Baptist church in Parker, TX. Strangely enough, I happen to be in the first long break from teaching that I&#8217ve had in years. It has been refreshing, but I am anxious to start back. I plan on starting with a study of the Gospel of John. Related, Richard Bauckham is such a valuable asset :)
• I am currently studying the only extant letter of Theophilus of Antioch, his letter to Autolycus. I hope to start blogging on it next week. You have to start somewhere.
• I have this problem. As a web developer, I feel the need to write my own blog site. Most web developers are smart enough not to think this way but, alas, it is a burden I bear. I have had a new version of it for quite some time but this blog was not on it. Problem #2 is that if my blog isn&#8217t up to snuff technically, I don&#8217t want to use it. This actually has contributed quite a bit to my silence over the last year. This will not make any sense to any of you. Like I said, I have a problem :) Things are mostly converted over now though I have some old image links to update, some content to fix, some urls to make backwards-compatible and some styling to do. I should get most of this fixed soon, but I won&#8217t let that keep me from my blogging this time!

My stalwart readers, if you still exist, I look forward to chatting with you :)
