Hey, what would you have thought if I went the PC way and said "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!"? Let's just reflect on Jesus and reconsider our lives in light of him.
So for the few of you who come here, you may notice that I haven't posted for a while. There's a lot of reasons - it's been a crazy month - but let me just give a general update of myself in quick bullet form for your speed-reading convenience.
- I finished up Metaphysics I with J. P. Moreland and wow do I feel dumb. Like, I learned a ton, but there's just so much to take in. I'm still awaiting my grade and I think I have a shot to get that A (why is it 96% for an A now!?). We'll see.
- I'm only taking 3 units next semester, just like this past semester, which is Symbolic Logic with Tom Crisp (smaaaaaart dude). Logic isn't my favorite topic but it's foundational and I'm willing to put in the time for it. I already bought the book ("Deductive Logic" by Warren Goldfarb) and the plan is to read it all before school starts up again Jan. 26. That way I can devote more time to wedding planning next semester and already have a good idea of where the class is going.
- How's the wedding planning? All's I gotta say is that Kels and I are behind right now and we have to get a lot done before I go back to school in 4 weeks. Yup, really busy next semester.
- I'm 20 pages away from finishing Peter Enns' "Inspiration and Incarnation" which is amazing and I highly recommend it (with certain reservations). He's pretty much outlining a ton of things that I've been thinking about, but just more from a strongly OT perspective whereas I think of it more theologically (he does apply it to theology many times though). I'll most likely be posting on this too.
- I got "The Erosion of Inerrancy in Evangelicalism" by Greg Beale for Christmas so I can't wait to read that next. It is a book-length response to Peter Enns' aforementioned book and it will be pretty enlightening I'm sure.
- My former prof Dr. Lunde is getting me his new book "The New Testament Use of the Old Testament: Three Views" for $8. SWEET! I'll probably try to read that too soon. Note: the contributors to this book are Walter Kaiser, Darrell Bock, and Peter Enns as well as Jon Lunde and Kenneth Berding (both at Biola :D) as editors.
- Did you know Christopher Hitchens is coming to Biola to debate Craig sometime soon? So excited!
- I got a WiiFit for Christmas ( :D )and it says I'm inhumanly out of shape. I also got one of those pistol adapter thingies and so now I'm probably going to be "forced" to go buy a first-person shooter like "Call of Duty: World at War". Woe is me!
- The new JETS issue (Vol. 51, No. 4) is great - go check it out. I'll probably try to read it all because all the articles are so dang interesting.
- I recently found out that I LOVE Radiohead and have been listening to them non-stop for like the past 3 weeks. I do wanna go get the other two CD's of theirs that I don't have: "The Bends" and "In Rainbows" (salivating at the thought of driving to Best Buy to pick up "The Bends" and "In Rainbows" or, alternatively, buying them on iTunes as I stuff my face with good homemade food...mmmm...homemade food...).
'Til next time.

So I have a question. Once you die of boredom how are you going to let us know whether it is possible or not? I mean you're dead it's not like you can just send us an e-mail saying hey actually it is possible because I'm dead right now...just curious.
Oh and you said you didn't know about Hitchen's speaking at Biola which is a lie because you would have to know about it in order to write about it. You're silly!
