(thoughts)
"Before the beautiful-no, not really before but within the beautiful-the whole person quivers. He not only 'finds' the beautiful moving; rather, he experiences himself as being moved and possessed by it."
- Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
- Flannery o'Connor
"Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, stewards of the new day that is dawning."
- NT Wright
"When we think our brother or sister has sinned against us, such an affront is not just against us but against the whole community. A community established as peaceful cannot afford to let us relish our sense of being wronged without exposing that wrong in the hopes of reconciliation."
- Stan Hauerwas
"Advertising treats all products with the reverence and the seriousness due to sacraments."
- Thomas Merton
"All the believers were of one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possesions was their own, but they shared everything that they had."
- Acts of the Apostles
"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves them more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."
- St. Augustine

Kentucky!
I am going to Kentucky for five days in August! I am very happy and excited for this. I will get to visit my friends at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for a couple of days and then head over to visit the Lexington folk. Here's my schedule, at least, an attempt: Aug 9: Leave Idaho, arrive in Kentucky at 12:30 am, Thursday. Aug 10: I will be able to stay at Brandts house in Louisville. He lives in an apartment upstairs now. :) That night I will go get some dinner with Tom from Logos Coffeehouse, my old Boss. It will be a good time. Aug 11: I will more than likely get some lunch with Boyce students and randomely visit Billy the Fish, Deanna the Cuban, Chicken Fingers, etc... I want to find a way to transport my body to Lexington that night. Aug12: I will hang out with peoples I have never met before. I need to meet this Patrick fellow. He looks like fun. Aug 13: Church. I dunno. Reading. Hanging out. ?? Aug 14: Back to Lousiville in the morning. I will get to visit more Boyce folk and hopefully go swimming. I will go to B-dubs that night with Justin and Tyler and whoever else. Tasty stuff. Aug 15: I head back to Idaho this afternoon. I am very happy for all of this. The ticket is mybirthday present. I will have an amazing time. Leave me a comment if you want to hang out! -peace-

So what did I do to get left off of the collection of links? Have I offended you? I am ashamed of my unknown failures.
You're going to Kentucky?!

Rob: YES!
i'll be arriving in KY around the same time as you... I'll see you then
