Folks reading about ricoblog in Northwestern College's alumni publication The Classic have started to trickle in. Welcome! Here are a few bits of info that may come in handy:

• If you know me from NWC, please feel free to leave a comment on this post or drop me an email if you'd like to update me on what's going on in your life — spouse, kids, job, whatever. You obviously know a bit about what I've been up to, feel free to tell me what you've been up to! I'd really like to know. You can send email to: textgeek (a-t) gmail (d-o-t) com.
• How does one get an article about himself (or herself) published in The Classic? Well, I didn't really try. I just updated them via this web form. If you're an NWC alum, you should really do the same — they may have pages to burn for you too! Here's a little more background on how it all happened. 
• If you want to see more pictures of my kayak (photos from every stage of the building process) check out my Kayak Building pages.
• If you'd like to know more about my Pastoral Epistles study, check out my Pastoral Epistles pages. If you'd like to commit to reading rough drafts and offering serious feedback, please let me know.
• More information about my employer and our way-cool Bible software, Logos Bible Software.

Thanks for dropping by. And I'm not joking or just being nice — if you know me from Northwestern College, I really would like to hear about what you've been up to for the past few years. Please do drop me a message. If you'd like, I can make sure you're on my yearly Christmas email update — just mention it and I'll add you to the address book.

I'd also like to say thanks to Duane Beeson and Amy Scheer for their work and David Scherrer (and Susan Grainger!) for some excellent photography. Everyone I've spoken to about the article thinks it is accurate and well written — so thanks!

Go Red Raiders!
