the Unexpressed Advantage

You have to see this, it's just sweet

The Next Jordan

My favorite pastor's son playing ball.
I'm so proud. Go Stevie.

If you look up to the left there, you may notice that the book in the currently reading section is not actually a book. Just my way of expressing the fact that I'm on a little hiatius from study.

By hiatius of course, I mean the next 2 hours before I fall asleep. First thing tomorrow morning involves nothing less than immediately waking up and spending the whole day reading, and by reading I mean skimming text quickly while trying to pick out key themes. Thus beginneth my weeklong chaotic final week chaos. Soon I will be done, driving happily home listening to sermons by NT Wright and Darrell Johnson on my ipod (provided Dan Meyer loans me afore mentioned sermons) with Leslie who apparently lives in Grass Valley (which is not a part in any way of Auburn), but that day seems like an eternity from now, as I have four yes FOUR exams next week.

This bad, I know. But I simply cannot stand Tim Allen

I dislike him so much, that this idea just came out of thin air today. I was driving home from class, and it just hit me, "I hate Tim Allen." How weird (an image of Christmas at the Cranks may have popped into my mind, is he even in that?).

Honestly, I don't even know why.

Well, maybe these reasons

• He's Irritating
• He's fairly Loud
• None of his Tv Shows or Movies are remotely good
• Pretty sure he persecutes Christians

My roommate and I stood outside today in the snow and had a nice fun conversation about the issue of free will vs. God’s sovereignty. (i.e., “who believes in [me] shall have eternal life” / “whoever confesses with his mouth that Jesus is lord and believes that God raised him from the dead shall be saved” vs. “For Jacob I loved and Esau I hated / “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, I will have compassion on whom I have compassion” (John 3:16b; Romans 10:9; Romans 9:13,14b).

I just did a quick read through of the Psalms for my old testament class. Pretty interesting to read all of the psalms together in one sitting. Couple of quick observations, I can’t stay long, have to go help build a snowman for two of my professors’ kids (yes, the placement of apostrophes in that sentence is indeed correct, I promise).
