William Lane Craig

BRRR!
Saturday the power went out in our neighborhood at about 5:00pm, while the temperatures plunged into the teens. Jan put away the steak she had planned to cook, and we got by on cottage cheese and pork rinds for supper. We used flashlights and candles until bedtime. Then I dug out the long underwear, but an extra comforter on the bed, and covered my head to stay warm. It was a long night. At 4:30am the lamps came on with a blaze of light! This brief outage reminded me of how folks must have lived in the days before central heating!

REST IN PEACE, ANGEL

Jan and I reluctantly took our beloved cat Angel to the vet to be euthanized yesterday. He had become blind and deaf and went about the house moaning. We felt that it would be cruel to leave him alone and abandoned, unable to find us and be comforted, while we went off to Boston for a week of conferences. I buried him in the garden next to his sister and marked the spot with a Helleborus plant which will bloom with beautiful white flowers in the spring. R.I.P.

Jan and I just returned from Talbot School of Theology, where I delivered six lectures to a class of students and spoke at a conference being held on campus. My lectures were extracted from my "Excursus on Natural Theology" of my forthcoming vol. IIb of my Systematic Philosophical Theology. I presented updated reflections on the cosmological argument from contingency, the kalām cosmological argument, the argument from the applicability of mathematics, the teleological argument from fine-tuning of the universe, the moral argument from objective moral values and duties, and the ontological argument for a maximally great being. The students were wonderful and our conversations scintillating!
