So I might be my mother’s daughter after all. Some of you may be familiar with my mother’s drinking problem, wherein she feels a strong need for a large Diet Coke (fountain, not canned/bottled) at least once daily. I left work today with a thirst that only an enormous Diet Dr. Pepper (DDP) could quench. DDP = $1.29 at the Chevron station. Problem solved.

Paddy’s recent (thoughtful and inspiring) post has left me thinking of doing a series of posts on two subjects. One, a systematic investigation of various theories of the atonement, including substitutionary atonement (which is the one you know) as well as some lesser known theologies. Two, a review of the most prominent and problematic heresies which have arisen in the Christian theological tradition over the last couple thousand years. Understanding important heretical positions is a great way to clarify good theology. So, keep your panties on and try not to die of anticipation while I attempt to locate my theology books and notes somewhere in the 15 boxes I never unpacked after moving.

My dissertation chair is in SD golfing today and at some point we will rendezvous so I can pick up revisions directly from him. He commented yesterday via phone that there’s a little switching to do, but that the draft now “looks pretty good.” Sweet.

I ate some slightly stale Goldfish Crackers today, and boy do they lose their cheesy sunshiny wonderful goodness once they’ve hung around a week too long.

Also, I apparently like to visit the “edge” states. Missouri really screwed things up.
