I have been reading The Life You've Always Wanted by John Ortberg. Ok so I'm only reading it because it was a required for a class. Once I saw the book list for this class I literally groaned outload. As a student in seminary one of the last things that I wanted to read was a pop book on spirituality that tells you how to get what you want. Yet, these ideas just came from the book's title and after seeing it litter Wal-Mart shelves for the past year. Of course I neglected reading this book until the last possible week I could. Yet, this book is amazing. Now I understand why it is so popular! I'm not saying that this book is the best I've ever read, but it is probably in the top 10. Ortberg's idea that the entire goal of a Christian's spiritual life (or all of life), is simply transformation is origional analytical reflection on timeless spiritual truths. His premise that the spiritual disciplines are simply ways of practicing so that we can bear the Fruits of the Spirit in life is likewise refreshing. I highly recomend checking this book out.

My girlfriend and I have been reading this book, Passion and Purity together. If you haven't read it, you should look into it. Elizabeth Elliot is amazing!

Hey, so my brother-in-law Jason has been diagnosed with meningitis. For those of you who don't know that's a brain swelling-thing. I guess I don't totally understand it.

Hey all, my ancient literature class is now finished up. Now I get to focus on just working. Working in with the grounds crew is great here at CBC. It's a perfect fit since my initials are CBC.

Hey CBC friends, if you haven't checked out our SGA president and his fiance's site go to joshandtasha.com. I wonder how many engaged girls expect this kind of thing when they get engaged?

The End Times are here!

Hey all, it is that time of year when those who are normally quite sane lose it; that's right, finals are here once again. I'm sure almost everyone is feeling it. I am too. My mind seems to have turned to mush and I still have a Greek paper to finish. There's less than a week left. Friends, persist and finish strong.

I finally started Xangaing (if that's a word).
