Columbia Seminary…and decisions.

February 24th, 2007 by Neal Locke

It’s been a good weekend, and it’s winding down, now. We saw old friends and made some new ones. Grady got to go to chapel (his favorite — he’ll make a good PK). I thought visiting Columbia Theological Seminary (in Decatur, GA) would make the decision easier. I think I came with my mind pretty [...]

Brand New Day

February 9th, 2007 by Neal Locke

Moving day. Not physically (although that will come soon, too) but digitally. Today I begin migrating all of my files, applications and other software from Windows to Linux.

O Happy Letter!

January 22nd, 2007 by Neal Locke

This Saturday, we received a long-anticipated letter in the mail. I’ve been accepted into the M.Div program at Princeton Seminary.

TAKS and TAXES

April 9th, 2005 by Neal Locke

It’s that time of year when students and adults alike break out the calculators to demonstrate some basic math skills. For the students, the math portion of the Texas Asessment of Knowledge and Skills is in just two weeks, and for me the Internal Revenue Service requests the honor of my annual “pledge” to the [...]

P-SAT Scores

March 3rd, 2005 by Neal Locke

Yep. They’re finally in. Thanks to Mrs. Grimes to emailing them to me in spreadsheet format, in turn emailed to her (I think) by Mrs. Parvin. I’ve already noticed all sorts of interesting trends and tidbits of fascinating data–if you want to see YOUR scores, come by my portable before or after school. Some of [...]
