What I'm learning at Luther #10

A question in English:

It pays to have a good vocabulary. Or any vocabulary at all.

This guy sitting by me in the library (as I type) is having a loud conversation where, in the span of about 5 minutes, he must have said the word "like" about 80 times.

...and it doesn't as if he'll be done anytime soon.

He like, likes the word like, like a lot.

Magpie For Sale

I'm sad (kind of). But, though my perspective may be flawed, I think Magpie's been gone for a long time now.

After a year of fighting, I've finally given my anger to God and I'm at peace.

The Magpie ministry and business has left an immeasurable impact on those who have had the privilege of being a part of it. People have grown up there, met their spouses, fallen in love with God, and made lifelong friends there.

I'll never forget this wonderful gift from God, or the people who have put so much of themselves into it, it's customers and myself.

Magpie changed my life.

What I'm learning at Luther #8 and #9

A question in creative literature:

Reader: "Wait--this script is about spider monkeys?!"

Writer: "It's in the subtext."

A question in metaphysics:

"Google is like God. God is wireless, God is everywhere, and God sees everything. Any question in the world, you can ask Google."
--(The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman)
