Brothers & BH
 
It's been a while. To update, three of my little brothers flew down (from Moscow, Idaho) to visit for a couple weeks. Parker & Christian went with me to the BH conference in Florida, and Hampton was kind enough to stay here in Monroe to help Hollie with the boys. We didn't take nearly enough pictures while they were here, but I'll try to upload at least one later.

As for the conference, on the original schedule, Peter Leithart was to speak on Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, but sadly Peter's mother passed away the day before the conference began. Bill DeJong filled in with some excellent lectures on 1 Timothy, and Burke Shade gave a really lame talk on hair in the Bible, in which he argued against men having long hair...just kidding... he actually presented a good concordance study that fit nicely with Jim Jordan's lectures on Nazirite vows. Mark Horne gave several stimulating lectures from his forthcoming commentary on Ephesians (in Athanasius Press's Through New Eyes Commentary Series). Blake Purcell spoke on the modern Russian Orthodox situation, on a few Russian Orthodox heroes of the faith, and on his mission as rector of the Slavic Reformation Society and Biblical Seminary of St Petersburg, Russia. And Rich Bledsoe spoke on everything, including triangulation. It was a good time and the largest conference to date - I think this was the 17th annual - held this year in the nice new fellowship hall of Trinity in Valparaiso.
