Tuesdays are the days I spend at The Other Journal, interning it up. I figured, in order to share TOJ with all of you, and to get TOJ a small amount of increased exposure, I should try to remember to link to some interesting new posts, articles and such.
This week: (below are links, even if the color doesn’t look different enough that they are links, which has been a problem with links in this color scheme in the past).
As well as:
A Message To The Fine and Shabby: James’s Epistle on Poverty by J. Lyle Story

Check them out if you feel so inclined.
Hey all, I wanted to let you know about some of the new articles up at The Other Journal. The new Education issue is up now, and there is definitely some interesting stuff up, with more coming soon.
Of particular note are:
Christopher Heuertz (of the Word Made Flesh social advocacy organization) wrote an article called "A Pedagogy of Submission: Reeducating Ourselves to Embody Our Belief in a Good God."
Philosopher Carl Raschke also just posted an new article entitled "From Church to 'Rhizone': Reconfiguring Theological Education for the Postmodern Era."
There is also some beautiful new stuff up in the "Imagination" section of the site.
I highly recommend checking all of it out!
So, all exaggeration aside, I am in fact excited.
There’s some pretty cool stuff going on at TOJ, such as a book coming out next month. New stuff over at the journal is an interview with Jim Wallis, and another with John Milbank. The current issue's focus is atheism.
You should check it out for yourself here: The Other Journal
Well, TCH Tuesdays has totally died for the last few months. I haven't been maintaining the site at all in quite a while but now I am hoping to use some of the downtime on my trip to get it up and running again. For those who don't know TCH Tuesdays are to try and get some activity happening on my website: Theology Coffeehouse The site has a forum where I'd love to see people conversing about whatever happens to be on their minds.
To get things rolling again I just added a new board on the site inspired by Jesse's latest post. Check it out and share your thoughts on the issue!
It has been a relaxing time here in the nation's capital as we prepare to head back out on the road. As I mentioned in the last post it has been great spending time with friends.
The night that we went up to visit Brian we ended up sleeping in his friend John's basement because Brian is having a plumbing issue at his house. It was another part of the adventure of our huge road trip.
Speaking of road trips, today when Emily and I were with the Kazees at a book store in town called Politics and Prose we bought an awesome road trip book published by the people over at Let's Go!
The book is full of helpful facts including the Secret Menu at In-N-Out in its entirety, the best make-out spots on the East Coast, and a bunch of cool routes to take the next time we are feeling a hankering for another road trip. I look forward to further exploring the contents of the book, as well as the physical locations they mention. Yet, as cool as the people here at Let's Go are for making this awesome book, the guys of Human Giant are still my favorite chaps to go by that moniker: (video link)
Tomorrow we leave for lunch with Brian in Timonium and then it is on to Pittsburgh for a game @ PNC, our first baseball game of the trip. Hooray for baseball and awesome mostly baseball themed road trips!!
