To attempt to get myself into a better rhythm of blogging, I’ve decided to work my way through a new and intriguing book by John Franke, entitled Manifold Witness: The Plurality of Truth. I discovered this book last week when I attended the Emergent Village Theological Conversation with Jurgen Moltmann. Professor Franke gave a brief… [Read more…]

To those that occasionally check this blog you probably assumed that I have departed the world of blogging. Alas, though, I have not. When May hit, life became quite crazy for the Leafblad family, as camp preparations intensified and then the camping season hit full steam. I churned out material for our summer staff the… [Read more…]

Sorry for my absence from this blog. We’ve been, in a way, on tour. I began as a solo act, spending five days at the end of March in Charlotte, NC. Every year I gather with a group of five friends from seminary. These gatherings are generally a highlight in my year. From there, I… [Read more…]

I began my day at Homer’s Coffee House at 7:30AM to meet with about 6 others to discuss the book Reading in Communion by Stephen… [Read more…]

Today on my way to work I listened to NPR’s Morning Edition, as I often do. Briefly they discussed President Obama’s plans to reverse the former administration’s blockage of embryonic stem cell research. Obama is doing so under the guise of restoring science to its rightful place, because, so it is argued, stem cell research… [Read more…]

For whatever reason this weekend was a quite productive one. During most of my downtime, I was engrossed in a book, and so I actually started and finished two books this weekend. They were different in content, but each somewhat relevant to what I’m thinking through in relation to either the spiritual formation of our… [Read more…]

I was once asked by a student if I memorized Scripture, for she had heard this was an almost non-negotiable Christian practice. I surprised her by asking, “What do you mean by Scripture?” She of course meant the practice of putting to memory selected verses from Scripture that “meant” something to her. This is a… [Read more…]

Being that we’re nearing March, it is likely you’ll see more posts about college basketball here at Leaf-blog. It kind of consumes my life during this time of year. That being the case… Last night, Blake Griffin made the biggest case for why he needs to be player of the year without even putting on… [Read more…]
