random stuff 4-24

I think I’m going to start a semi-frequent section called “Random stuff,” for usage when I have things I want to talk about, but don’t quite have time or enough information to fully flesh out those thoughts into at least decent posts, as well as interesting things going on with my life. So, without further introduction.

A couple friends and I have begun to lay out the groundwork for an at least week long trip on the Appalachian trail. For those not familiar, it’s a 2500 mile hiking trail that hits seven states from Georgia to Maine. We’ll be hitting up about 80 miles of trail in North Carolina sometime in late July. We’re skipping our home state of Georgia because the heat is suppose to be oppressive in the Georgia parts of the trail during July and August.

An update on one of the items from my last post: I stated that I was having trouble with the fact I was getting money from the church for playing with one of their bands on Sunday mornings. Well one of my buddies who works for the department that pays me told me a couple days ago that they couldn’t afford to pay me. Problem solved. :)

I’m reading through “The Powers that Be” by Walter Wink right now, 87 pages in and I have 9 pages marked with brilliant quotes, which I will likely share at some point in time. If you haven’t read through the book, I’m gonna recommend doing so before you pick up anything else. Really, it’s been that powerful thus far.

I had one more thing I wanted to talk about it, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that I’m actually going to have to spend some time on this, but as a small teaser… it’s affiliated with Focus on the Family and it doesn’t like me err…. postmodernists. mmm…. goodness.

    I have been on the A.T. alot you will love it. I used to go out for 2-3 days by myself and not see anyone. It was tempting to not come back. (seriously)

    have a great time!

    “the powers that be” is an amazing book. on of the most influential books in shaping my thought. if you get a chance sometime, pick up wink’s “engaging the powers”. it’s more in depth, but great as well.
