Quick Post

Just a quick post to let all know I am still alive...barely.
I just e-mailed my Greek prof. our final project. It took around 40 hours to complete.
Pretty much, false teachers are bad. Like dogs and pigs. They will go to a dark place forever.
So says 2 Peter 2:17-22.
That's right, 40 hours for 4 verses. Isn't Greek exegesis fun?
Oh, and it's snowing in the Willamette Valley. Prepeare yourselves for Armagheddon, 'cause the're expecting up to 2" of snow tonight.

The Last Greek Class

Today was the last Greek class I will have while in seminary!
It was an 8 hour journey through I Peter 3:18-21. Well, we started on Thursday night, continuing on Friday night, then working on it all Saturday.
Basically, Christ suffered on our behalf so we might be brought toward God with a good conscience.
No, it is not saying that water baptism saves.
Amid the excitement of having completed the last class is the sadness that my 'Cougs couldn't take care of business against the bottom dwelling Arizona Wildcats. They lost 17-27.
I knew it was too good to be true. The 'Cougs are just to beat up from injuries. Their star running-back had to fill in as a kicker....

Questions and Concerns

I saw two very disturbing bumper stickers yesterday.
The first was a home made sign that said, "Impeach Bush." I want to know on what grounds we should impeach the president of the United States. I see that sign a lot, but so far, I haven't seen why. As far as I know being "the world's number one terrorist" is a little hard to prove in a court. And I haven't seen any evidence of any crime. Here is a link to a site listing the history of impeachment. By the way, since 1797 there have been 16 impeachments, only 2 of them presidents and neither of them were convicted.
The second bumper sticker said, "Frodo failed, Bush has the ring." This one really chapped my hide. I tried looking for a decent discussion about what they mean by it, but to little avail. Apparently, there is a rumor that Rick Santorum, a legislator said that the Eye of Mordor was being drawn to Iraq, and away from the US. Some smarty-pants Liberal thought it would be cute to play with this, and came up with the dumb bumper sticker. Are they actually saying that Bush=the Dark Lord of Mordor? Excuse me, but last I checked, he is the duly elected president of our great nation. I didn't know he was a purely evil god bent on the destruction of life by using hordes of mutated elves, dragons, and undead ghost-kings.....
Just my thoughts for the day.
