One of my favorite closing lines of a movie:
Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you’re crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out, is that each one of...

The Ability To Be Taught
So today was a good day. I got a lot done, and not a lot done. We had auditions for the Living Proof band, it was good.

I mean I have to wonder… Jesus being 100% God and 100% man (Hyperstatic Union) must have meant He got at least humanly frustrated once in a while right? I mean how did He do it?
