Directions To The East-For My Baptist Friends

West is the opposite direction from East, but if you keep going and keep your eyes open you'll eventually hit East again. Starting East, as we all have, find Martin Luther Highway. Get off on the Zwingli exit. That will take you to Ana-baptist Blvd. Drive through the Sola Scriptura community and take a left at Calvinist lane (where the pretty TULIPS are), you don't stay on it too long before coming to John Smythe Circle.There is a Lifeway Bookstore on the corner. Circle around the Baptismal fountain in the middle until you get tired or you run out of crackers and grape juice, then do a Google Earth search to see where you are in comparison to from where you've come. You get a much better perspective when you pull way back and see the whole picture rather than the journey in microcosm. When you find the East, start heading back. It will be a totally different route. I have included some directions:

  2. Elenie, Thanks! I'm glad someone notices my satire and lighter side. It makes up for the more serious topics I cover on JTO and the blessed abuse I receive. By the way, your blog is great. God bless you and good to meet you. Come back often.

  3. Hey Nathan! Love your scripture quote under your profile pic: "mirror, dimly." It's one of my favorites. It says so much about our humble epistemological position as human beings. It is a verse often pointed to by Christian proponents of the epistemology of critical realism--a very interesting approach to epistemology that places a great significance upon community tradition, and even faith (credo ut intelligam).

    May you walk faithfully in the shadows during the Lenten season--which is present for me, and will come presently for you.

    ...and pray for me, a sinner.
