The semester is more than half over. I wish this meant I was doing something really cool, but as it is I mostly study with the occasional social activity among other things. Honestly, life is mostly beautiful and comparatively uncomplicated. Now that I've said that I can almost feel the pendulum swing...or not. (Yikes!)
Went to a Barlow Girl/Downhere concert last week. I'd never really heard of either group, but I was impressed especially by Barlow Girl (acoustic/alternative christian band of three sisters) and their ministry to young women. They ended the concert with a hymn and walked offstage while the audience finished singing acapella.
I made a cool discovery last night. Ray Vanderlaan is an impressive Bible scholar and Doctor of Jewish Studies (I know, a Christian Jewish scholar, no really). He really does deserve a plug. So his webpage is www.followtherabbi.com. For anyone looking for Bible background, study tips, or worship thoughts. Seriously.
Here's a blast from the past - a year ago I was preparing to raft down the Paraná River in Argentina on a homemade raft (granted not by myself). If I remember correctly we ACAers had just returned to the university from a mind-blowing trip to Iguazu Falls (now there's something to google).
To all my friends near and far: God be with you till we meet again, be it in 10 minutes, a day, or a year.

this is good. very good. at least pretty close to an update. i hope exams (or the prep) isn't kicking your butt. i personally want to be swallowed up by the earth and spit out just in time for vacation, but that is just the typical end of term stress talking.
