Awesome. Looking forward to your posts, Eric.
Excellent indeed. Welcome to the ‘naccle :)
Welcome to the forum, Eric. I thought the Choir sounded better lately.
I believe Eric is also a former missionary in the Thailand Bangkok mission. Looking forward to reading your posts, na khrab!
Wow. Talk about high expectations…
This will be great. I’m looking forward to reading your posts.
I believe Eric taught the very first class I ever attended at BYU – a Book of Mormon class that was quite good. Looking forward to the posts.
Fantastic! Thanks for your work on “Jesus Christ and the world of the New Testament”
Thanks for joining up with T&S. Looking forward to reading your future posts.
Wow, what a coup! And yes, Eric served his mission in Thailand. He ordered lunch for us at a Thai restaurant in, well, Thai. It was great fun!
Huzzah!
Good to see you here, Eric. I’m going to embarrass you by linking to my blog post about you:
My evangelical Mormon professor
You guys are in for a treat.
(Yes, yes, I know, ‘go back to studying for finals, Jack, blah blah blah…’)
looking forward to your post. Just dont ask me to parse any greek sentences. really enjoyed your classes though.
Hey Eric! It’s Karen, from the old hood! How are ya? I think about you and your family every time I’m in Provo, especially when I look at that awesome lilac hedge :)
oh boy!
Eric, welcome, welcome! Look forward to reading!
My sis sings in MoTab. Nora Hess. Do you know her? Her husband (Bret) also just got in. He’ll be in the training choir until April. Great guy and a really fine tenor!
Welcome Eric. You taught an Acts-Revelation class I was in a few years ago that was enjoying/edifying.
Eric,
I really like your Book of Mormon class materials. What’s the possiblity of your putting together a home-study class using your materials?

Wow, the first question Eric might want to answer is how it feels to have a bio that makes him appear to be perfect.
Eric; Did you attend BYU in 1987-1988? If so I remember you. I loved your sunday school lessons.
Craig M,
And to think that I forgot to mention that he runs marathons . . .
You are all too kind. I just tried to post an introductory blog, and it seems to have disappeared into the net somewhere. Or maybe it is pending review before posting? Ah, Julie or Marc are going to need to bail me out.
The point is, that I am, at last, here, and I have a plan for the next week (Choir concert experiences, role of music in the season, Advent, Christmas with a special needs child, and a more academic stroll through the infancy narratives).
Quick responses to some comments above: yes, to Thailand Bankgkok Mission. Yes to demon Sunday School lessons in the 1980s. Yes, Jack Meyers can embarrass away. Josh, one should never forget how to parse Greek properly: remember, full form, full function, and use in the sentence! Yes, I know Nora from the Choir. No, I am not perfect . . . in anyway: that is why I love teaching Paul so much—I am a 100% grace man.
Okay . . . the post is up and running. Did not realize it appeared in its own window. Lower your expectations, folks. It is just an introduction.

Is this Karen from Dan and Karen McWiggings? How are you? Were are you?
