ok, but seriously...

just got off the phone w/ the director of the dual-degree program at UAB, and she said she'd be happy if i got at least a 19 on the DAT tomorrow. so if you like specifics when you pray... that's pretty specific. 19 or higher. thanks yall.

you can all do your part

Here's the deal-- I'm finally taking the DAT, saturday at 1:00 (pm, not am... eastern, not cenral). I could use some help. Here's what I need from each of you:

eric- some post-test Scotch

steven- a few newly-Reformed prayers (you're Reformed now, right?)

john- a copy of a Piper sermon dealing with test-day anxiety

pat- some post-test Beer

will- two Ryan Adams mix cd's... a pump-up one for pre-test, and a party one for post-test

david- a wake-up call when i sleep through my alarm

mike- written notice on official letterhead (get some) for the test to "get in line"

ryan- at exactly 12:55pm, i need you to walk in with your shirt off so i can sneak a cheat-sheet in

cheese- some input on how the reading comprehension section might "borrow from French New Wave cinema"

sims- a pre-release copy of the test from Bit Torrent

miss you dudes.

Osiris, Horus, Attis, Mithras, Jesus?

A recent topic of interest:
Was Jesus just another zodiacal god-man myth? Doubt it.

I guess i've been hanging out with too many atheists, but this kinda stuff is on my mind alot. My tendency is to try and have more "faith" when these doubts come up, but maybe that is a misnomer. Learning about stuff really helped... maybe that is faith. I duno. thoughts anyone? I still don't get the role of apologetics, esp in evangelism, i mean Peter, Paul and Stephen used it in Acts, but nowadays they kinda tell you that its a waste of time. I guess it only works on jews.

So me, Eric, Brian, and David skyped last night, which felt like a house reunion, everyone get skype and we can go for all 9 or so of us. Things are good here, gota go.
