westward

this morning i leave for st. louis. this evening, then, i will be worshipping with my friend, sean lucas, and his family. tomorrow, i have the opportunity to lecture for sean's class at covenant seminary. my subject--jonathan edwards and social issues. more specifically, je and "race." should be a lot of fun. on the way home tuesday, i'll be able to stop in francisco, indiana, and visit with my grandparents for a few hours.

on a side note, sean recently saw the publication of his robert lewis dabney: a southern presbyterian life. i read the volume several years ago in manuscript. it is certainly worth the read--even if you arent'a big fan of dabney. i can't promise it will make you his fan (it didn't me), but it is a wonderful analysis of the life of this significant leader in the life of the southern, if not american, church.
