Ok, I’m white (duh!)… I don’t threaten to move to Canada, but I do like bicycles, NPR, recycling…..
Are you a little tired of winter?  NPR interviewed the author of the blog “Stuff White People Like” today; It’s an absolute “hoot.”  Check it out…

You ever sing the kid’s song “Heaven is a wonderful place?”

Apparently, he occasionally reads my blog.

What is a D.Min.?

Posted by teejtc on February 4th, 2008 filed in Religious, Knitting & Tatting, Humor, Thesis

I’ve been asked a couple of times what the difference between a D.Min. and a PhD are and so, although I’m no expert, I thought I’d give it a shot.  I am working on my D.Min. (Doctor of Ministry) which, unlike a PhD, is a ministry-based degree.  What I mean by that is that a […]
