Personal Update
Life is odd right now. I am happy; I am depressed.
I don't get depressed easily (at all) I shouldn't be allowed to think about certain things. But, this season is necessary, I understand. Everything I am doing feels so... meaningless. This isn't some emo-rant or wannabe self-reflective whatever, it's just what I feel. I am finding what gives me purpose slowly. I want to know exactly what it is, how I can do it, and how I can be better than anyone who has done it before me. Hard thing is, there have been a lot of good people before me...
Also, at the same time, I am having a wonderful time in my life. My friends are great and honestly entertain me more than anything else. Ever. It's a great time. I am a very contradictory person, as you can see.
Well, here's a list of stuff you can think about:
- I am about to start teaching a course (co-teaching, with Rev. Matheney) on the validity of the DaVinci Code. I will enjoy this, as I enjoyed the book. Not the best prose (have you ever heard me rant about that?) or historical accuracy, but a good read. I will choose to deal primarily with the historical side, rather than the theological side. I have personal reasons.
- I will get an apartment soon. Woot! 3-person place. I am currently searching for room-mates. Wanna live with me?
- I have been reading some fun stuff recently. Most enjoyable was "Animal Farm." Extremely short read (hour and fifteen minutes) and great satire. It made me happy to be an american. I don't know what I mean by that, I am just told to say it...
- There is a "Rainbow Church" being planted in Twin Falls. And, yes, I will be supporting it. I want to interview the priest/reverend/pastor/presbyter/whatever, Karen Kahn. That will be up by the week's end, hopefully. Please pray God will guide their hands...
- I am going to read "Goat: a Memoir" soon. Have anyone of you heard of it? I haven't. It had a nice cover and was a couple dollars. So, I figured, what the hell?
- I am going on a road trip this summer. One week. Montana. Hippies, chili, guitars, and the Office of the Hours. Yah, we be pimpin', g-dawgs!

The same right thing for a long time. That's Christian discipleship. Things are allowed to suck.
I'm glad that you have such a pleasant outlook about DVC as you shred it. I wonder, does it say anything about Native Americans being Jews or not?
Orwell was a prophet. I hear his essays are good, but I've not read them.
Rainbow Church. Let's hope that "rainbow" is not the powerful modifier of "church" that I might assume...
Don't know no Goat. Or Montana for that matter.
Did you find that mountain?
