If US politicians want to get the young vote out, they should take a page from Pakistan's book:

Man campaigns with rat in mouth

I'm talking with my good friend Brandon, who is a campus minister at a university. We both went to Truman State University, where we were involved with Campus Christian Fellowship, and we're talking about Bible colleges. We've both been looked at as if we were second class ministers because we didn't go to a Bible college or seminary. We know we're not the only ones. We're even thinking about putting together an essay or a web site to raise awareness about campus ministries as a good option and about the problems with Bible colleges. I want to hear what people think, especially people who have more first-hand experience on the inside. Rants, as always, are welcome. I know there are some good things about Bible colleges, but I don't like how people in churches see it as the only good option for kids, especially those who want to work in ministry.

Today is the final day of classes for Truman's spring semester, and I have just completed my final paper. I'm going to go turn it in right now. I would post it here, but it contains images and is very large. I'm going to go home, reduce the file size, and then post it for all to see.

I just read Batman: Year One, by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. Wow. Had I known it's this good, I would have read it long ago. I was surprised at how little it actually features Batman/Bruce Wayne in the story. Jim Gordon is the most prominent character, which is great: Miller makes him into a much more real and three-dimensional character than Bruce Wayne usually is. I highly recommend this book to anybody who likes Batman, or even just comic books in general.

We have some baby robins (at least someone told me they're robins - I would welcome a correction from an ornithologist if I'm wrong)! The mother built a nest on the corner of our deck, between the railing and the dogs' house. It's a great spot, because the dogs can't get back there, but we can lean over and look at the little birds. Here is a picture of them while they were hatching:

And here is a picture of all four of the little guys. They all seem to be doing well, as far as I can tell. I'm looking forward to watching their development.

I had my Hebrews final today. I think I did alright. I had a little trouble on the memory work. I had one down, and it seemed like the rest of them I was only able to manage remembering about three quarters of them. Anyways, I have two finals left, I am not worried about either on too badly, but I still need to do well on them for the sake of keeping a good grade in those classes.

I leave for home on friday hopefully at about 10:30 to 11. Then I shall begin my drive. I am not sure where I will stop yet. I am thinking either Laramie WY, or Little America WY. Not too sure yet though, it depends on what time I get to those places. Anyways for those who don't know, this trip is about 2000 miles, and it is pretty boring at times. I enjoy it though, and I shall survive.

Yesterday we drove the longest leg of our trip. We were on the road about 7 hours. As I write this Emma is playing with Eden, the Smiths' one-year-old. They're pretty cute. The city of Kearney seems pretty nice. Brandon and Keri say it's growing quite a bit, and there are lots of things to do.
