couple things:
first, i saw matt chandler strolling around campus today, well i should say i hear him first, then i saw him (he has a distinct voice). i thought about saying something stupid, literally stupid - not funny or clever, just stupid, i thought about asking him to sign my pocast. this is my fallback. there is such a thing as being star struck, the problem is, i don't think of him as a celebrity, but all my friends do, so its kinda like i wanna say something jerky just so i can tell them what i did to their hero...
second, I'm glad that while emotions or feeling my come through in people's writing, halitosis does not.
third, this summer i started reading the shack (semi spoiler alert) and never finished it, partly cause its not great, intriguing but not great, and partly because i ran out of time. plenty of christians love the book, and the rest hate it. God the Father is presented in the "Flesh" as a mami type mad black woman - seriously - anyway - i was having a conversation with someone about this, sorta, when they said that God is not a big fat black woman, to which I appropriately quipped, "yes he is!" i mean jeeze, everyone knows that, they don't call him king of kings and syrups to for nothin.
finally, Howard Hendricks, he recommended a book in class today called English Grammar for Language students, i went to the book store a couple of hours later to pick it up, and as i described to the staff they snickered a little, i asked if everyone was asking for it and they said yes. On this campus Hendricks = Oprah
