The Vintage Remedies Guide to Real Food by Jessie Hawkins
Bottom line: Good health depends on good food, and good food must be real food.
We provided the copy-editing work for this book, and hired our friend Kelly Seow to give the book a special touch and a second set of eyes.

EnjoyingBeer.com - By far my most enjoyable web endeavor yet! I started EB shortly after my 21st birthday, long before I really understood beer, but far enough along to recognize the superiority of certain beers. It went through several incarnations, and for a time even was anonymous (during my stint in Nashville’s Christian [read: Baptist] music industry).
My rating system was pretty fun:
5 Beers = On Tap in Heaven
4 Beers = One of Earth’s Best Offerings
3 Beers = Good Beer for Good Times
2 Beers = If There’s Nothing Else
1 Beer = Don’t Put this Crap on Tap 
I wouldn’t mind selling this domain, but I’m tempted to hang onto it and do something really great with it someday.

JameyB.com was my personal blog on Wittenberg Hall where I posted writings and thoughts about anything miscellaneous - in other words, not related to the subjets of the other sites (such as classical education, beer, or eschatology).
I’ll probably hang onto the domain and perhaps resurrect it in the future.

Postmillennialism.com
Postmillennialism is the eschatological school of thought in Christian theology that says that the Gospel will fill the earth, gradually converting the world to Christ. Eventually, says postmillennial thought, the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters covers the sea, and all this prior to the Second Coming of Christ. As you may have noticed, this is quite a contrast to the popular Left Behind theology. In addition, most of us believe that the Great Tribulation is in reference to the events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple in AD 70.
I became convinced of postmillennialism at 19 years old, and became a rabid proponent of the teaching. I registered postmillennialism.com in 2000, and deliberately opened it on Easter in commemoration of Christ’s victory over sin and death through his death and resurrection.
The site went through several incarnations over its 11 year history. During that time, it helped to open many doors of opportunity for me, and I made many friends through it. I’m particularly fond of the period where we had an active discussion board…that was our social networking.
Originally titled Folks, It’s Not That Bad!, the site motto has always been “Optimistic eschatology in the midst of Christian pessimism.” 
I might bring it back someday, but for now it’s going to have rest for a while.

The brain child of my friend Michelle Borquez Thornton, Shine Magazine was an evangelical women’s magazine, covering arts, entertainment, fashion, food, and beyond.
I was the Associate Editor of Shine Magazine from roughly 2004-2006. In addition to editing each article before it went to the graphics department, I transcribed and edited many of the interviews. One of the more interesting interviews I remember was with Maia Morgenstern, the actress who played Mary in The Passion of the Christ.

Wittenberg Hall was the blog that never wanted to be a blog. I saw it more as a theological webzine - sort of a reimagined RazorMouth 2.0. Really, it was a family of sites that covered beer, education, eschatology, theology, culture, and more. Inspired by Martin Luther, my intention was to have a historically ecumenical blog that highlighted thoughtful Christian thinking from a number of perspectives. I saw Wittenberg as an excellent bridge - for Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants alike.
I ran the site with a little help from friends. Our contributors were eclectic, and included Orthodox, Anglican, and Reformed men, including Dr. Thomas Askew, Fr. Stephen Freeman, Dr. George Grant, Eric Holmberg, Bishop Lucien Lindsey, Rev. Steve Schlissel, Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr., and Rev. Dr. Peter Toon. Occasionally, Robbie Grayson, Gary DeMar, David Bunker, P. Andrew Sandlin, and Alison Sailer offered their expertise. For a time, we partnered with my friend Gregg Strawbridge’s WordMp3.com and offered free downloads of lectures and sermons from various Christian thinkers.
It was plenty fun. I ran the main site from 2005 - 2011, but posting was somewhat irregular beginning in 2009 or so. Ultimately, my move to Hawaii, and then my conversion to Orthodox Christianity, led to the site going dormant. I’m pulling the site soon, but I’ll hang onto the domains for a while.
