2. South Carolina is considering allowing people to bring guns onto school campuses, as long as they leave them locked in their cars. Rep. Senator Shane Martin of Spartanburg: "[The bill] allows permit holders to pick up their child from school or attend a teacher's meeting without leaving their gun at home." Sometimes I am glad to be leaving this state.
3. The idea that sexual activity runs rampant in America's high schools portrayed in numerous TV dramas is (surprise!) a lie. The majority of high school seniors are probably virgins.
4. People are much more likely to be persuaded by a call to conformity rather than nonconformity.
5. The 10th anniversary of the release of The Matrix - the movie which revolutionized special effects and sermon analogies - was March 31st, 2009.
Actually, I take it all back. The number one thing which has blown my mind recently is the fact that I have three days left in Clemson, my home for the past seven years. On Sunday Erin and I will drive up to DC and on Monday I will begin my new job at Arete Associates. The last week has been full of hard goodbyes and gut-wrenching "lasts." This is one of those strange times (I can only remember a handful of them in my lifetime) when I don't know how to express how I feel.
there really aren't words for the collision of emotions that accompany saying goodbye to that place and those people, but i know how you feel.
ReplyDeletewe are keeping you and erin in our prayers.
J- Best wishes as you and Erin begin this next phase of life together. You are missed by the Kalbaugh's and we hope our paths cross again soon. I echo Miska's words - and I hope that you will find deep community again in DC.
ReplyDeletedude. my heart echoes you on the real number one.
ReplyDeletei typed echo before knowing that ck has responded...just saying.
ReplyDeleteThere hasn't been a more influential couple on Bryan and I's relationship than you two. We will sure miss the ease of travel to see you guys and talk about life and love. We'll miss you guys, for real.
