in lieu of not wanting to be intelligent, or should i say, i’m too tired to think a lot. I have been finding that whenever the urge comes to post something a list is quickly developing. does this mean that lists don’t require intelligence? or, does it just say something about my mood lately? either way, here is yet another list. (thanks to josue for adding to my last one)

Things I learned this week
1. Only 17 percent of americans view the local church as necessary to develop their faith (article here)
2. Never attempt to work 50 hours in 4 days
3. I may go to the only seminary that has the word “masturbation” in a cartoon on the wall of the main classroom
4. Dogs can’t climb ladders
5. Shell gas runs better in my motorcylce then Amoco gas does
6. Many Christians still hold to Retribution Theology (if you sin you will suffer)
7. Tim and I have a working title for our future life’s work — Kai (more to come)
8. Paul Allen is really, really rich, and I drank free beers from him tonight — thank you Discover South Lake Union Center
9. Less than 1/3 of American’s think “W” is doing a good job — the lowest job approval rating in almost 50 years
10. People like lists

peace
