I took the “Humor Test” Jason had posted about on his MySpace site. Here are my results: The Wit (52% dark, 19% spontaneous, 10% vulgar) your humor style: CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean pretentious. [...]

I’ve successfully spent three days relaxing. This is quite an accomplishment for me. I haven’t even felt particularly guilty for not doing any homework during these three glorious days. What I have done is finished The Chronicles of Narnia, Vanity Fair, and The Man Who Was Thursday. Now I’m planning to go to the market [...]

A part of the Christmas story I’d never heard before last quarter–God’s ability, and tendency to work amidst human barrenness and brokenness. He began with a promise to Abraham, that he and Sarah would have a child despite her barrenness and great age. Then he made a promise to Mary, a virgin. Because she believed, [...]

And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to [...]

I’m ready to call it an addiction. I can’t help myself. It’s taking over my life, and I like it. I went into a bookstore (I know, I know, everybody at Lit Anon says I shouldn’t…) just to buy something for someone else. I swear! It wasn’t for me! I was there to buy Christmas [...]

I am reading a book by Madeleine L’Engle (see the recommended reading Page) and she mentions how the words ‘human’ and ‘humility’ have the same root word, ‘humus’ which means earth. We are of the earth and little better than dirt when all is said and done–to the dust we shall return and what not. [...]

The following will take about thirty seconds to read, but what a start for a great story! I like the KJV version, especially the part about the shepherds being “sore afraid.” I always hear this passage read in Linus’ voice as he recites it, blanket in hand, during the Christmas pageant. Luke 2: 4-14. And [...]

Ok, go check out all those new links. Think about what sort of a world we live in and what sort of a church that world needs as you look through them. And also have fun. Send me any links that might fit well with those listed. See you all (or most of you) tonight [...]

Nice to have a productive day once in a while. Student life (as you all know well) gets old. Big workload, no paycheck. So now, just for kicks (and units), I spend two days a week doing a big-girl type job. You know, get up, work for 8 hours, then come home and forget about [...]
