Trip to North Park

Scot McKnight (Jesus Creed) invited me to come this Monday to North Park University (Chicago), where he is a professor, to hear Dr. Donald Hagner lecture and then eat dinner with them as well as some NPU professors. 

I showed up a little early for an absolutely riveting discussion on divorce (link shows short video) between Scot, Don, and Kermit Zarley (a former pro golfer who has funded the lecture series).  Then Dr. Hagner delivered part one of his lecture series on "A Positive Theology of Judaism from the New Testament."  Interesting and provocative.  Learn more about the lecture series here, and here's Scot's short post on it.

It was an enjoyable day: I learned some new things, met some good people, and ate some great Italian food at Via Veneto.

Steve,
Great spoof on yourself -- I recall your intense engagement in the discussion, nodding yesses and nos, taking notes, chatting with Kermit about what you were understanding, and the like.

Seriously, great video. We've been laughing.

Scot, hehe, it was really a great conversation. But I didn't want to just post the video since I don't know if everyone wanted a semi-private conversation made public. So I figured I'd make something funny out of it instead.

Glad you liked it. I've been laughing about it all day.

Steve,
Again thanks for this; what a hoot! You took a picture and then I saw you holding the camera on your knee, and I wondered what you were doing. Someday I'll have to figure this out -- we learned last night that our camera can do this, too.

I had to wipe away the tears from my eyes from laughing so much.

[Scott Lyons]

Very funny, Steve.
