• You’ve Been Accepted

    2 minutes

    I've been checking our mail everyday for the past several weeks hoping everyday to open up our little mailbox here at Timberline and find lying there an envelope yielding the logo of Southeastern Seminary. Yesterday was that day, and as you can probably guess from the title of this post, I've been accepted! Well, on a conditional basis that I first graduate from WVU. So, all I have to do is kick one more semester of WVU flat in the teeth and we'll be off to Wake Forest to engage in philosophical and theological anti-pelagian pauline polemics! Bam! That's exciting,…

  • It’s Been a Slow Week at Theydon Bois

    It's been a slow week at Theydon Bois. We've had the Formula 1 British Grand Prix and England versus Paraguay in the Soccer World Cup. The Grand Prix was a disappointment as our boy, Jensen Button, withdrew after a few laps due to engine failure. But the soccer was more hopeful as we won the match when Paraguay scored an own goal. We must do better in the next game. The performance so far has been unimpressive.   The plant sale in the village for Cancer Relief has been more hopeful . Georgina has been doing her bit. She took…
