Busy "Spring"

Like all great writers, I sometimes fall into oblivion with my blog updates. But now I'm back and better than ever. Actually it's been a busy "spring" so far. I use quotations around spring because it has yet to get above 50 degrees. I just had my first visitor come last week, Ryan. He left Thursday and now I've got about 2 weeks to get ready for my next visit of Lindsay, Beth, Derek, and Scott. Plus, the first of my two roommates for the summer will arrive in the middle of their visit. So don't expect more posts anytime soon. During the aforementioned people's visit, we will be going up to Fairbanks and seeing Denali National Park. Can't wait. Ryan and I got to see some whales, moose, sea lions, etc., so hopefully the others will be so lucky. Hope everything is going well in Tennessee and Kansas (and anywhere else people are reading from). Here's something to think on...I sometimes go to my landlord's/neighbor's bible study on Sunday nights and his church (he's a pastor) participates in pentacostal manifestations. I have finally engaged him about this and we've had some brief discussions about it. He has a modern-day prophet come to speak there, thinks there are modern-day apostles, etc. So anyone who wants to venture to throw out some interesting thoughts about this, I'm all eyes. I'm sure we'll discuss it again soon so give me your best thoughts, whether agreeing with him or disagreeing. And one more thing...if any of you have been "fortunate" enough to hear rapper Mims' latest single, entitled, "This Is Why I'm Hot," you might appreciate the below flow chart. If you haven't heard it, the song's lyrics are wonderfully poetic: "This is why I'm hot; This is why I'm hot; I'm hot 'cause I'm fly; You ain't 'cause you not." For any of you who have trouble comprehending Mims' highly advanced logic in these lyrics, the below chart should be of some help. If you like the chart and want to read more where that came from about Mims' number one single, you can check out the commentary at http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0711,harvilla,76021,22.html. I highly advise it.
