Also, if any of you believe in LinkedIn, please find me. I’ve learned it’s apparently somewhat important? I’m on there as Auburn Josephs!

Thank you, Daniel! I hope all is well with you!

Friends! I’m so pleased to announce that I’ll be defending my dissertation for my PhD in Old Testament Theology in April.

I cannot thank you all enough for your encouragement and prayers along the way!

Is there anyone who has Georg Fischer’s Jeremia HThKat commentaries and doesn’t want them any more?

I’ll take them 🥺

Thank you so much. I’ve debated doing this but wondered if it’d be a setback. I may just need to do this.

I’m gonna bookmark these for back up if I can’t get a job lol

Nooooo, I love teaching too much to jump ship!!!

Any dissertation advice for someone who is less than a year out from defense and is feeling WORN OUT

Please, anyone 😭

Josiah, I applaud you for this but this would be so hard for me to do in my speech 🥲 it’s like when people tell me “pen” and “pin” are different and I try and I sound like I’ve never spoken English before.

Amen, Sam

Josiah, they rhyme so much. Probably the most rhyming words in the world, probably.

It’s gotta be one of those. I’ll see if I can get it!

Does anyone know this Bacon citation?

I’m trying to stash some sources for the day I write the introduction of my dissertation and this would be a great addition.

This book is “Ecology and Theology of Nature,” edited by Hogan, Vila-Chã, and Orobator
