My youngest son is always full of surprises.  He surprised me a few weeks ago by saying that he wrote a blog for me to post on my site.  He astonished me even further by writing an “Autobiography” of his life.  Remember, he is only in grade 4!  Hope you enjoy his life story as much as I did.  His life is pretty awesome!

I was invited by Moravian College’s Religion Department to give a lecture entitled, “Exploitation, Consumerism, and Eco-Justice”   to fit the college’s “In Focus” theme this year on “Sustainability” (April 2, 2013).  I have given lots of lectures and talks in the past, but for some reason, I was really nervous all day before my 7p.m. lecture.  A colleague said to me at noon that ‘if I was a good procrastinator, I wouldn’t be nervous until evening….”

There will be a book session at the American Academy of Religion (AAR) for Dr. Kelly Denton-Borhaug’s new book, U.S. War-culture, Sacrifice and Salvation.  Dr. Mark Heim and myself will be responding to her book.  This session is on Saturday Nov. 17, 2012 at McCormick Place West – 182,  1p.m.
