1. When a classic rock station says "All Killer, No Filler" it means they don't play Heart. I would like to thank them.
2. Rain can follow you across 3 states.
3. My new GPS (thanks mom) is now a sacred object.
4. College radio is ATL plays some of the sickest rap you have ever heard. I think I am addicted.
5. Slipping past Valet at PF Changs(?) is not that hard and can turn into quite a fun game.
More on my adventures tonight, with pictures.

We are winding down our trip that I have decided to call " Dripping Through The Dirty South". I really forgot how humid it is down here. I have a small collection of thoughts that I may post if I look through them and deem them acceptable, because most of them were inspired while in a BBQ induced haze.
We are in Shreveport this weekend for a wedding and after that we are heading to Jackson, Ms to spend time with Justin and Charis and the rest of the Harding Street House. We are going to spend a couple of days enjoying each other, talking about community and just practice being the body of Christ. It makes me giddy inside.
While I was planning on getting some serious reading done this week, it didn't really happen (Balthasar was harder than I thought), but I did get to have some great conversations with people. I realize that I have been timid describing were I think I am going because I don't like typical ministry/church language and I haven't been as honest as I could be because I was trying to get around some terms. I guess this is just part of the time I am spending in seminary and becoming comfortable with it. Interpretation is the word that I have been looking for, not confrontation.
Yesterday I wandered around Lifeway, looking for what kind of systematic theology good Baptists read. I didn't find any Thomas Oden....But I am comfortable with that. Part of what I have read this week really dealt with the issue of Tradition and Evangelicism and how to handle it with out getting in a tiffy. This is all part of learning to explain things, and I think that is the biggest lesson I could learn this next year.
The next few days are my last slow ones, and then I am going to be REALLY busy. But I hope that I have learned some things during my time off about scheduling busy and scheduling slow. I am excited about what these next few months will be like for school, work, ministry and just life in general.
I will leave you with a geek link from lifehack.org about 10 ways to write a better research paper.

Back from the jaunt down to South Louisiana. Notable things include
1. Meredith's first flight
2. The amount of dishes I consumed that involved sausage.
3. Seeing some great friends at the airport by accident.
4. The great little snack trays that Continental Express gives away on some flights.
5. The amount of mullets I saw in the 20 minutes I was at the lights in Nac. La.
I have quite the things to do list over the next few days, but I am excited to be at home. I hope to get my home office somewhat organized and get ready for a productive january. Stay tuned for more updates dealing with my E.P. I am recording and other things.

spent the weekend going back and forth across I-20 to shreveport and back. brent hammett and cassie martin tied the knot. it was great being in their wedding. so many things stick out, but seeing a two dear friends jump into that ship was great.
the reception was at this vintage car mueseum. i ate alot of food and danced with meredith. they were going to get to ride away in some 1940's mob car but it got into a wreck going to the church?(i think) anyway, the cat driving the car got into a car wreck. he had to go to the hospital. so that was not going on but we had a great time.
afterwards me and meredith went to krispy kreme and got a half dozen donuts and some grape drink
for lunch the next day we went and got greek food at yeero yeero.
we stayed and merediths grandparents house. this is the kicker i guess. her grandfather is this tiny little german guy. he grew up in new orleans and lived all over the south as a young person. he has these stories that see pretty much unbelieveable and the then his wife wil be "i was there and I didn't believe it when i watched him do it". they tell me that his alsimers( spelled wrong, that thing where you can't remember anything) is getting bad. but i still hear this great stories out of him. his outlook on life is really interesting. i really wish that i had known him as a kid so i could have gotten to spend more time around him. his name is Boss. i just hope that when i am old I can relate a life where people get jealous wishing they had lived it. nothing fancy, just exciting.
thought of the weekend. i was thinking about how a handful of people could directly influence the world. beside's being in a band (we are not counting U2 in this part....bono really gets on my nerves) i really can never think of a situation where it happened. but it can..........
