NO COLDPLAY SHOW!  BOO!!  HISS!!!

At least Liza will like that I’ll be able to hang out with her tonight.

In other news: I had a comp day, so I took it today.  However, I actually took it to get work done.  It’s amazing how much I can accomplish for Student Life away from the office.

Also, thank you to those who have encourage me on the book idea.  This one may not work out because of the other wheelings and dealings surrounding our ventures into trade publishing.  However, I’ll keep you posted on any other book ideas I might have.  Though it is weird to think about.

When we talked with Erwin McManus this summer, we asked him why he wrote.  He responded that he loves it, it’s an art form, etc.  but also that he believes that God has put something inside of him that he has to say.  I think I’m still waiting on what that thing is that I have to say.  When it comes to that ever elusive thing, I never feel very confident or original.  I think there is a certain amount of ego that goes into writing book.  In essence you’re saying, “I’ve got something important and original enough that people should buy it and read it.”  We’ll see if I ever get there.

Well, onward and upwards (ding).

    I think posting here requires a certain amount of ego. Your putting your thoughts out there for people to read. Your not taking thier money but you are still asking us to read your thoughts and opinions.

    I would rather talk about your idea than read it, unless you could write it in an engaging way, kind of how Donald Miller does.  And I think you’ve got lots to say, but of course it doesn’t matter what I think.

    I’d buy your book… look at the covers (front and back) then use it as coster. on my cofee table. only for a year or two.. read the copy right page and then buy the cliff notes.
