Limerick: There once was a big dissertation Filled with fact after asseveration. But the skull of the writer Was getting much tighter: No outlets for his cogitation! Ode: Oh, OneNote, perfect system of filing! Your skills are oh so beguiling! I end all my study...
Personal
Digital Pacifiers
I have a 9 lb. 4 oz. excuse for everything these days. It really is remarkable how such a little bundle of needs can dominate the schedules of two full-grown adults. But he sure is a cute little bundle of needs. I’m surprised how fascinating he is. Every facial...
Monogram: AWE
Please Help!
Several years ago, in something like 2005 (?), I read an article (?) by an evangelical theologian (?) who had been an egalitarian. His story was something like this: I was an evangelical Christian egalitarian. My wife and I split our marriage in half: everything was...
Great With Flour
Now I know what it’s like to be my wife at 8 mos. Only she can’t put Aden Edwards Ward back in the cupboard when the experiment is over. I wore the sacks of flour all around the house (I’m not allowed to tell you how many pounds it was). Laura cackled...
Logos 4 Seminar
Do you have the new Logos 4 but need some training on how to use it? Do you want personal attention from a B.S.N.-certified trainer? (B.S.N. = Bible Software Nerd.) Come to my Logos seminar January 23 at Heritage Bible Church in Greer, SC. You can sign up at my...
Black Friday
It was a black Friday indeed, but I had to do it. I sold my MacBook and bought a Sony Vaio. I have to have BibleWorks and Logos 4, and my somewhat older MacBook just wasn’t able to handle virtualizing Windows anymore. Rather than shell out $100-plus for a copy...
BibleWorks Seminar
Thank you to those of you who made it out to my BibleWorks seminar at Heritage Bible Church. And thank you, Heritage, for the use of your facilities. I had a great time. I hope those who came found it profitable. Reportedly, a Greek professor at an area school told...
A Google Voice Tip
If you have Google Voice like I do, you probably—like I did—took a look at its features and then quailed at the thought of alerting everyone to a new cellphone number. That’s quite a commitment, and, frankly, I don’t think I’m ready for that emotionally. But I...
The Thrilla in Greenvilla!
In another vain attempt to stoke controversy and therefore grow my blog readership beyond you two, I've provoked my good friend Brian Collins to bring our long-standing fight into public view, into a blog boxing match as it were. The fight could be summarized in a few...
βλογάπη
My blog has a new name to go along with its new design: βλογάπη. "Marklwardjr," the old name, was just way too eponymous. After almost two years, and now having reached the two-subscriber mark (my mother-in-law recently signed up), I think it's time to pick a name...
eponymity
I named this site marklwardjr because I wanted to avoid the temptations of Internet anonymity. I've wondered as time has passed whether the site's name looks self-promoting. Hopefully, the content speaks for itself. It would be foolish for any blogger to seek the...
