Loading...Dear Faithful Blog Participants (or even Unfaithful Ones):
An announcement. Starting July 16 I am going on a hiking expedition and will be off the grid for ten days. I’m not sure if I’ll have any Internet access or not. But not to fear (as if you would fear….): I will not leave the Blog forsaken. I have compiled blog posts enough for the week, and my all-reliable assistant Steven, to whom each of us owes a mountain of debt, will be posting them on a schedule I have given him.
SO … there will be ample posts for you to ponder.
The somewhat bigger issue is that I won’t be able to read and approve comments. That’s an increasingly large problem since, these days, we are getting 40-70 comments each and every day.
If it turns out that I do get some Internet access over the course of my meanderings over the earth, I will approve comments, as many as I can. But if not, they will simply have to wait until I get back. Sorry ‘bout that. But I’m assuming and hoping we will all live to see brighter days ahead.
In the meantime, enjoy the posts!
- Bart
Hope you have a great break!
Enjoy yourself! I suggest we nominate Steven for best assistant of the year. Make that century!
Happy Hiking. Go – unplug – enjoy yourself.
Have a blast!
Oh that’s fantastic (hiking) … could I offer a little advice? Unplug and LEAVE the phone at home! (We all really can wait .. right?) And don’t forget the bug and bear repellent. Be well and have fun! (And thanks Steven!)
Enjoy the hiking expedition!
I’m in Boulder Colorado and if you will be in CO, I have recommendations for the best hikes/climbs. Enjoy your trip.
May you enjoy your hiking, remain safe and in good health.
Enjoy your outdoor experience. Not to worry. We’ll survive OK.
P.S. Watch out for bears in the woods.
Have a good trip.
But just remember: Pictures, dude. We need pictures.
A “hiking expedition” seems like an awfully strenuous vacation, but I hope you’ll enjoy it! You certainly deserve a break from all the great work you do.
Enjoy the hike and the time off. You deserve it. if you have not already read it, I suggest reading “A Walk in the Woods.”
Yup, read it. Hilarious!
Best of luck! Hope to see you back.
I didn’t realize you approved them all. That’s a serious commitment! Thank you so much for this blog and hope you have a great vacation!
Hey – never mind the comments. Relax and have fun!
Going back a day, do you more or less agree with Dale Martin about the Corinthian body?
Yes indeed.
Not sure where your hiking. But, do you have any thoughts about hiking the 65km Jesus Trail in northern Israel?
Can’t say I have! Most of my serious hiking over the years has been in western Europe.
No problem, son and I are backpacking (Scouts) for 12 days starting the 20th!
Have fun and be safe!
Enjoy your trip!
Be alert. Be careful, and enjoy your journey.
Dr. Ehrman,
Argentina or the Appalachian Trail? Which is it?
Ha! Luckily I’m not a politician and my hiking partner was my beloved wife, not a mistress!!
Apparently…I’m the only one that’s happy you get to go hiking.
Well, *I* was happy as well!!
Personally, I think you deserve a vacation without posting any blogs or responding to comments. But I certainly appreciate being able to read your blogs even while you’re “relaxing”?
I’ve fallen behind on my blog reading, so I just read this post. I hope you had a good vacation from civilization! I’ve meant to make a suggestion that might lighten your load. Could you have one or more of your graduate assistants screen reader comments/questions for you to determine whether they are simple comments that only need to be approved — comments that may be something you would find interesting and post on as a topic, or bona fide questions to answer. Maybe you’re already doing that.
I asked my husband a few days ago why we didn’t do exciting things like go on hiking expeditions. He offered to take me to Hocking Hills, Ohio this weekend. I’ll take what I can get. ????
Hey, it’s a start.
