Let's get mindless for a while.
I haven't posted a life update in what seems like ages - just intense theological quotes and scrumptious sections of what I have been reading (dee-lish).
Anyways, I am currently sitting in my "I" period 11th grade Bible class watching over them as they take an exam. I am really proud of this test - just the right amount of information to keep their minds and hands working for the whole period.

On a more nauseating note, I have been trying to get my financial information squared away for my enrollment at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California for this upcoming September. That has sucked (duh). Anything having to do with government forms and red tape makes me cringe. Needless to say, I will be elated when it is complete and I can consummate my academic and spiritual relationship with this fine institution.

While I am at it, let's keep rambling (I can picture my Mom reading this screen - so, if you are out there, Mom, imagine my voice uttering these words - this is for you). I think one of the worst parts about being in a foreign country is the frustration of not being able to get books. I will say that it has forced me to find tons of internet sites, archives, and resource libraries that are public domain (a.k.a., "free"). Anyways, I feel like I am compiling a monstrous list of "must-reads" that will cause me to just snap when I get back to the old red, white, and blue. I could order them off of Amazon and pay the intense shipping tax, but then I would have to buy three suitcases and pay to bring them home in a few months. So, I will continue to stare at a computer screen, download free books from Desiring God's Resource Library, read endless articles on Monergism, and bide my time until I can reak havoc in America and test the strength of my bookshelves.

I guess that is all for now. In closing, I would like to recommend some great websites where any other "God-dorks" can find some pretty nifty stuff for Free-Ninety-Nine.

Desiring God - go here and click the "Resource Library" tab for tons of sermons, articles, and whole books!
Monergism - a killer website with TONS of Reformed resources (this is for the Calvinist in you)
Christian Classics Ethereal Library - awesome site for primary resources and early Church writings (thank you, Dr. Jenkins)
Project Gutenberg - a site with some books that are public domain
Online Christian Library - decent site with some Christian stuff to read
Christian Publication Resource Foundation - A solid compilation of Reformed essays
The Gospel Coalition - Themelios Magazine is an online publication headed up by some solid, Bible-believing scholars and reputable contributors from all over the world
