The Dodgers literally told everybody after the 2024 World Series that the Yankees crumble when you put pressure on their defense and it’s still true 2 years later.

I was only 7 for 9/11 but having to see a long tech explainer for 2001 makes me feel so old.

If you're under 25 or so and engaging with historical 9-11 footage, the state of video tech then might not be obvious. But it explains why we have crystal-clear footage of Flight 175 and nearly none for everything else.

In Nairobi for @JoniandFriends and ended up visiting a PCEA congregation ordinance their presbytery's first deaf elder. Great time of worship and celebration. Fitting Scripture readings and sermon on God's choice of David (1 Sam 16) and qualifications for elders (1 Tim 3).

I’m going to be writing a commentary! On Chronicles, for the Contextual Critical Commentary series. Very much looking forward to the research and writing of the next five years.

Good thread/interactions showing how much definitions are central to these sorts of discussions

Jews in the first century commonly observed the Torah, although the precise details of how they interpreted the Torah differed among Jews. The claim that “rabbinic Judaism” was already the norm in the early first century CE, and that “Jesus lived and taught as a Rabbinic Jew of his time,” is one I strongly disagree with. 🧵1/7

It's early to say how this will turn out, and it's late for more people to apply, but I am very encouraged by the interactions I've had with people through this and am sure we will better connect some early career scholars in disability and Bible/theology/religion!

We're piloting a small research fellowship at @JoniandFriends, looking for proposals on disability and Bible/theology/religious studies. We're aiming to launch this academic year (2026-2027). If this interests you, please reach out to me! Happy to share more info!

My 3 year old was restless in the car, so I asked her the Blackrock murderers in the field question, and her strategy was "obey God."

Spent the week at @TheologyDis, culminating in comprehending for our hybrid audience on New Testament hospitality and disability. Great time, great networking and people!

Got to guest lecture today on healing (e.g. of illness and disability) in the Bible for DPT students @HSUTX today. Perks of working @JoniandFriends!

I'm teaching a one week course on Disability Ministry at Word of Life Hungary and this is the view outside the door of my guest suite.
This is the picture of a foyer of a castle from a second story doorway. Dark wood balcony and staircases surround the foyer and second floor. The walls are dark red with floral wallpaper. There are a chandelier and a tapestry in the foyer. The tapestry depicts a forest scene.

Just turned in final grades for my Job class and get to walk for graduation today. Great way to celebrate a memorable class with engaged, creative, and insightful students as I cap off my own student days!

Greater LA boundaries can be mad confusing. I tested some family/friends I grew up with here on if a few well-known places are the City of LA, an independent city, or neither and NOBODY got above 50%. Just made a 25 locations quiz - test your knowledge! forms.gle/dE8JaiCEeCm9sJof8
