I love my apartment and all, but there’s one thing I wasn’t counting on when I moved in here last August…
no air circulation, even with all the windows (facing all four directions) wide open.
My ceiling fans have been running for days on end, and I’ve even taken to (gasp) turning off my computer during the [...]
Thirteen days and counting..
Tara is mostly moved in to the new apartment. I have a carload of her things waiting for me to take them up tomorrow while she goes in to work. The new place is getting kind of full…I’m starting to wonder where all of my things will go.
Is [...]
A question posed by Dr. Lewis in the context of our discussion about war, violence, and pacifism and, in particular, about churches who hold up patriotism in the midst of worship services:
Would people in the church be as excited about hearing the good news of Jesus as they sometimes are about patriotism?
If not, then something [...]
Oh, those crazy Indians…. they’ve won nine straight, 20-7 in the past month or so, three straight sweeps (ok, so Colorado’s not that tough…but still). Seven games over .500. One game behind the Twinkies (for second place in the AL Central). And a three-game series at home against the Red Sox….first game [...]
So my current book of interest (which is mostly purely academic) is entitled Christians Among the Ethics. For today’s class I had to write a short reaction paper to a specific chapter in this book. The next to last paragraph of that chapter really caught my attention. Now, the authors (both men) [...]
Class let out early today, and as I was walking back to my apartment, I heard a rumble of thunder and thought “hope it doesn’t let loose on me while I’m walking.”
But then it did, and I changed my mind about it.. it was really nice to be wet and a little cooler, rather than [...]
We lost again tonight, this time to the seminary’s softball team. It was kind of a cutthroat game, mostly because, as my friend Cayla said, both teams expected to win. My team beat itself with lots of fielding errors and dumb baserunning plays. (for example, my bases-loaded sac fly to left center [...]
Only eight players from my softball team showed up for our softball game tonight. The other team had ten. We ended up losing 11-9, giving up the two winning runs in the bottom of the sixth (out of seven) innings. This game was fun, though, because we were shorthanded – we fielded [...]
This made me think of Taylor…comments?
Life in a covenant community, then, does not require that one accept all of its rules just as they are. That expectation may, in fact, be more appropriate to a social contract, where you either agree that the rules are in your best interest or you do not; and [...]
Tara and I were thrown a wedding shower by my church here in Anderson tonight.. good cake (preview of the wedding cake, perhaps), nuts, mints, strawberry punch, balloons, wedding bells, the whole nine yards. Now that it’s over, it strikes me as kind of odd that it all happened in the first place. [...]
