Thanks for coming! I plan to post a lot of interesting articles and comment on a wide range of things-- from political to religious, from private to public, from formal writing on public policy to snippets on random observations.

First and foremost, I am saved by God's grace as manifested most clearly through the atoning death of Jesus Christ-- and thus, adopted into His family. As a result, I increasingly seek to extend His grace to others in my daily life. On the home front, I am a husband and father to four young men (two by adoption and two the more conventional way). Professionally, I am an economist who loves to teach and is active in public policy circles. Vocationally, I am an active writer and the author of three books (one on the book of Joshua; two on public policy-- one secular, one Christian). Finally, I am the co-author of a 21-month discipleship curriculum, Thoroughly Equipped (and a lighter 36-week version), for developing competent lay-leaders in the Church. Related to that work, Kurt and I have two books, Enough Horses in the Barn and Roll Up Your Sleeves.

I paid $3.75 a gallon to fill up my car yesterday. I don't need the media to tell me that sucks.
I feel your pain!
Much of the increase over the past year has been caused by the declining dollar. And must of the dollar's depreciation has been caused by a combination of easy money by the Fed and the "macro stimulus package" and additional debt of Bush and the Congress.
The "macro stimulus package" is a drop in the bucket compared to the credit binge the country has been on for the last six years.
Preach it, brother!
Now, if I can find enough voters who feel the same way!
I noticed this evening that the Marathon station next to campus has regular at $3.66 now. My decision to buy a home 1.5 miles from campus is looking better by the day. But I guess everyone is wishing they live closer to work: I heard some news story this week that the suburbs furthest away from the city center in many places are where the house prices are dropping the most. Environmentalists have been complaining about urban sprawl, but the market seems to be solving that problem.
Perhaps ironically, our government's unfortunate monetary and fiscal policies are contributing in a round-about way to limiting/diminishing urban sprawl.
