Here is my calendar where you can see when I'm at class or work, but I will also post interesting performances and other stuff around town as well. This should update automatically, so you won't have to deal with my procrastination as much. ;-)

manage an empire...
I was doing a search for some sermons to listen to, and this is one of the links google brought up.

This has got to be the most disturbing product I've seen yet associated with "mega-church." I'm not saying that all mega-churches are bad, I know that some are very good and stick to the truth in the Bible, but this is something else entirely.
sorry I haven't updated in a while... I will soon; the semester is almost over!

Jesus' grave
In light of a new-found discovery of what is thought by some archaeologists to be the tomb of Christ, our hermeneutics professor sent us this link of another guy who found the grave of Christ. I don't know much about the new discovery of the tomb, only that many here at Southern are skeptical. For those who don't get it, the second link is very tongue-in-cheek.

squirrels
It's been a while since talking with Beth, but I had to share her last post on her journal. It's so very Beth.

Well, it's been a while. The holidays have come and gone and so has a semester. I just want to give a little update.
This past semester has been full of new stuff for Eric and me. The largest of all new-ness has been trying to find a new church family to be a part of. We really miss all that were so close to us in Oxford, which has made this more difficult. We know they want us to find a family here, but it is hard to let ourselves. We want to have a new family here, but we've done just about all we can to NOT allow ourselves to be a part of one. This means a lot of skipped church. We finally started going to a community group (smaller groups from Sojourn Church) last month and that is helping. The setting of these groups is much like Veritas, minus dinner and communion and adding a lot of little kiddies. They are busting at the seams and are going to "multiply," because they can't bring themselves to say "divide," into two community groups next week. The term "birthing a new group" was mentioned as was common at Veritas, and all those people who have kids gave a big "ick!" Yet another culture shock for us. It's wonderful and different.
As far as the holidays go, the trip to the in-laws was especially good... contrary to what has been in the past. Tensions are loosening, and we're getting to know each other for who we are. I think celebrating Christmas was what really made me realize that we are getting closer. This is going to sound really self-centered, but the gifts Eric's parents gave me were really thoughtful and fit my personality. I don't think that's ever happened before as a trend. It was amazing! And I didn't even give too many hints. It was really weird, but cool.
As a whole, it's been a great Christmas break. I don't technically go back to class until the 29th, but I'm going to try to be school-type-productive from now on.
