About Me:

I enjoy teaching and learning activities at Oklahoma Christian University, where I am a professor of English and where our students make my life really interesting and rich. The McBride Center for Faith & Literature is another favorite project: http://www.oc.edu/mcbridecenter.

Favorite Verse:

What is my favorite Bible verse? That's a little like asking me to name a favorite child or a favorite type of chocolate! It's impossible to choose from such riches! But today, picking rapidly based on what I'm thinking about now, one of the verses I especially like is James 1:17 about how God has showered good things on creation and on humanity as part of a greater plan. I particularly like these phrases: "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights...." I like thinking about God's goodness, about a broad and general grace he has showered on the earth, and about how tenacious God's love really is and always has been.
