1.I just heard that my alma mater added men's lacrosse to their athletic department. Good news, I guess...but weren't they trying to improve the male-female ratio???? The hits keep on coming!
2. I'm a hockey fan, and it's weird that the Phoenix Coyotes are making the run that they are despite the fact that they may relocate to Quebec City after it's all over???!!!?
3. Call it divine intervention, karma, or whatever you will, but it's probably fair to see Winnipeg and Quebec (possibly) back in the NHL.
4. Obama was in town today to rally support for the status quo on student loan interest rates. I wish I was there to see him. I also wish he would find a way to eliminate my student debt.
5. Durham can be really, really transient and really, really small sometimes. Which is why it is such an awesome place.
6. I am convinced that religion is man-made. Only a relationship with Jesus matters.
7. I am also convinced that religion is divisive (even among the communities that get the concept of the Gospel right). This conclusion aided my decision in postponing or ending my seminary dream.

I accepted a job at Whole Foods Market's Durham store last week.
I actually see this as a personal opportunity. It is weird for me to say this because I have an English degree from Methodist University (I repent of the urge to take a jab at the school), but we unfortunately live in a different America. It would be fun if I moved up at Whole Foods and challenged myself.
I surprise myself when I say that it was difficult to leave the job I had. I've wanted to acheive a better-paying job ever since I arrived at Wal-Mart, and I failed in that endeavor so consistently that I thought the chance would never arrive. The Lord works miracles.
And the Lord is also a great teacher. He used the store to teach me a love for the unloveable and the forsaken. I came to Wal-Mart as a spoiled, selfish knucklehead who believed that he wasn't going to be there a month. I left there with a stronger heart for God and for people.
I am looking forward to my future endeavors.
