J.R. and I at our seminary graduation. I'm not very photogentic when I smile, which is okay because I rarely smile ... because funeral directors rarely smile.

This past week my good friend J.R. Briggs interviewed me over at his blog.  J.R. is one of my favorite people in the whole entire world.  We met each other in a seminary class on the history of hermeneutics.  And while the class was mostly exciting, the duller moments were filled with us trading IM conversations.

J.R. describes himself as such: Husband. Daddy. Friend. Author. Shepherd. Teacher. Follower of Jesus. Church planter. Peace-maker. Rule-breaker. Dreamer.

J.R.’s mentor and pastor is Eugene Peterson (the author of The Message [J.R. and Eugene wrote a book together called "The Message//REMIX Solo").  Eugene is Bono's (of U2 fame) pastor.  Thanks to J.R., I'm can totally say that I know someone, who knows someone who is Bono's mentor.  Really me and Bono are like besties 4 eva!  Holla at my boy!

You can catch J.R. interview of me here.

Also, catch J.R.'s latest post entitled, "[ 10 ] Ways to Help Those Who Are Grieving“. It’s a fantastic post, full of wisdom.

Enjoy.
