I'm in Atlanta with thousands of religion scholars. Yay....I think?

Here's a picture of the property I live on now--in the late 1930s.

Here's a similar view today.

Check out the growth of the tree in the upper left corner, among other things.

When I teach a class, I am never going to do anything to make any of my students feel like this.

My blog seems to be getting boring. Facebook and Twitter are more fun, and I do a lot more there. So I changed my blog template, so you can at least have something new to look at. :)

God, you have given us enough to meet our needs
and those of our neighbors.
We confess that we value accumulation more than sharing,
and that we blame those who lack for their need,
never recognizing that you wish to provide for them through us.
Forgive us our overflowing storehouses
and unhealthy appetites.

Hmm, I'm still here...nothing too exciting. I've been working and studying for the class I will be teaching. This is MUCH better than studying stuff for my dissertation. You can talk to me in person for my reflections on that experience (if you catch me in the right mood).

Anyway, now I'm the professor...strange!
