Why I’m “Presbymergent”

February 20th, 2007 by Neal Locke

I mentioned a new website awhile back, for which I am a contributing editor. As part of the ongoing conversation, several of us are posting stories of our theological journeys as an answer to the question, “Why am I Presbymergent?” (Presbyterian + Emergent = Presbymergent).
Anyhow, here’s my article. While you’re there, check [...]

Free at last…Thank God Almighty, Free AT LAST!

February 9th, 2007 by Neal Locke

Unless you know me very well, you have NO IDEA just how excited I am right now. It’s 1:00 in the morning, February 9th 2007. I’m sitting in my office at church (yes, I know–I should be home now). But here’s the thing. Right now, this moment, I am typing this [...]

I’ve already posted about one of my favorite new websites, 43things. Today I ran across another “thing” (i.e. goal) that someone else had written, and I added it to my own list:

But everyone else I know is just as busy, [...]

New Beginnings

August 21st, 2005 by Neal Locke

So, I guess I took the summer off from blogging. It wasn’t permanent, though–I believe too much in this to let it go permanently. This summer has seen some big changes for me and my family. I’ll try to explain and update somewhat in this post:

How Well Do You Know Your English Teacher?

March 21st, 2005 by Neal Locke

Ok, so I borrowed this idea from Ivonee. Click on the link below, and take a quiz to see how well you know me. This one’s not for a grade, I promise–although the scores might be about the same–it’s just for fun. Or to conquer sheer boredom. Or to procrastinate instead of working on your [...]
