random ends
i read “The Shack” because…everyone was reading it. even in Brasil. i liked it. i am sure someone could come and tell me how it is theologically whacked out. but i liked it.
“You can kiss your famly and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.” Frederick Buechner
and for Carina:
“Earth’s crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God, but only he who sees takes off his shoes; the rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.” E.B.Browning
BLACKBERRIES seem to be coming into my vocabulary a lot.

Peter: New York City
John: New York is a city, not a continent.

grin. and other such conversations. i took John and his lil’ buddies out to the movies. we saw the “Tale of Desperoux” it is pronounced “Despero” but there is an x or something in it…it is one of the best cartoons i have seen in a while. very perfect for dreamers.

we did the collage project for my Wednesday class. a rather infintile idea, but surprisingly effective. i feel like i actually know the other students in the classroom. for once. I went to an interview at IUPUI. I need 30 upper level credits…mostly anything i want…and i get a bachelor’s degree in General Studies. But only if i start this fall or next spring. after that they won’t accept more than 64 transfer credits. now i need to see about scholarships.
