...since my last blog. What's the deal with me? Well...I, like Johnny Cash have been everywhere doing a little bit of everything...bought a minivan, a 2002 Honda Odyssey...I like it a heck of a lot more than I thought I would...thinking about trading in the Civic for a minivan I can drive everyday...visited the East Bay Area...saw some good friends...watched Kole and Bob Nishizaki become best friends...and went to the beach in Santa Cruz...it was the middle of November and it was 75 and sunny...saw Paul Skinner (my dad), who now owns a motorhome and a jeep CJ7...played a ton of basketball with Jeff, Chris and Lepinski...read a ton of pages for seminary...preached sermons...attended ridiculously long meetings...had Thanksgiving at Uncle Jeff's house...wrote long papers for seminary...attend more meetings...and read more books...and ate an obsence amount of mexican food...throw in some date nights with Deborah...sitting in the spa every night...and prayer....and we are all caught up...wait...and I have been all fired up about some core theological underpinnings that my generation and my kidbrother generation are screwing up; thereby wanting to start my own fight club where disagreements about God are not met with nicities, but with some good old fashion fisticuffs...and now you are all caught up.
Two undercard's Bill? So whats the main event?

Hey... great idea! I'd love to organize some theological fisticuffs. Maybe we can rent the UFC cage! I wanna be the guy who says, "Let's get it on!" Universalism v. Particularism on the undercard, with Vicarious Atonement v. Moral Example theory on the undercard. Yeah. Let's do it. Most of those emergent types are pretty scrawny, anyway...

what theological underpinnings are you going to kick butt over?

Good to have you back. What would those theological underpinnings be? You can't just let us get a smell without a taste. Not cool.
Hope all is well
Peace
