well, i think the 'arctic blast' that hit the northeast has made its presence known down here too... temperatues were in the 50's today, instead of 60's and 70's. didn't attempt the water today, but did some jogging on the beach... it's remarkable how much the sand increases the difficulty of running!
i started reading Philip Jenkins' "The Next Christendom"... it's pretty darn interesting... i had no idea there were that many christians in africa. it does explain the presence of so many africans at my seminary (which is anglican)! it's so amazing that christianity has adapted and survived in so many diverse cultures... makes you think there's something 'miraculous' about it!
i'm also still reading clancy's 'teeth of the tiger'... it's pretty interesting, although i don't really find his muslim terrorist characters very believable. it's still fun stuff. also reading the new testament apocrypha... currently working through the gospel material and other sayings sources. some weird stuff going on in those first centuries! wow... makes the latest mind-benders from hollywood seem pretty tame.
decided that i'll wait to get back to michigan to watch 'saw' with jesse... it somehow seems more 'healthy' to watch it with a friend than alone.
so long!
