About

I am a Professor of Bible and Theology at two schools in Houston. Grew up in Ohio and went to OSU for my undergrad. I also write for the O-Zone (http://www.the-ozone.net/arts1.htm ). My first book titled "Praying With Mom" on spiritual issues will be published sometime in 2012 or 2013 by Wipf and Stock (Resource Publications).

    You hardly need a lot of help, Michael. It's my duty to nitpick at the smallest detail, so I'm happy when I find any tiny thing to change. You obviously know your OSU football from back to front, so I bow to your expertise.

    You're welcome, Michael! And no worries, it comes with the territory of being a PSU grad on here these last few months. Keep up the nice work with your articles.

    Thank You! Yes, the three Rś. People can never express it enough. And awesome glad to hear of one of the few true Time Tebow fanś. And I will. I will definetly show my dad; especially after how ticked off he was about the so called rabbi bashing on Tim Tebow and his own fellow christians. Here it is right here>>>>> http://nation.foxnews.com/tim-tebow/2011/12/14/columnist-if-tim-tebow-wins-super-bowl-christians-will-be-burning-mosques-bashing-gays-and It is absolutely disgraceful.
