Through John Hobbin’s post on teaching Hebrew I became acquainted with the blog Random Bloggings, which is written by Calvin Park. Calvin is a first year student at Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary. Since Gordon–Conwell is just down the road from where I work, I got in contact with him. I met him and his wife for lunch today.1 We had a wonderful conversation about the Bible, Maryland, retail sales, baseball, and denominations. Calvin does biblical studies and youth ministry, while his wife is doing an M.A. in Old Testament and considering a Ph.D.

I am not the first from the biblioblogosphere to meet them, however. They told me that they met Jim Getz for lunch last summer. They had just moved into the area and Jim was getting ready to move to Philadelphia. I can only hope he enjoyed meeting them as much as I did.


  1. Calvin’s wife does not use her name in her blog, so I am going to respect her privacy and not use it here. [back]
