welcome to my new blog

Heh folks,

We've got a new web blogger page site thingy whatever.... do you like it?

Thanks to Jen Halverson the wonderful for setting this up!

To be honest, I don't get this blogger thing at all. (some of you noticed I'm sure). I'm sure its because I'm almost 50. Marcia and Greg Erickson and Jen and my wife have been showing me blogs so I learn what blogging is. They say I haven't really got the hang of this, since I'm too academic and don't give enough bits of my self. But the blogs they showed me seem silly. I mean, we went to Rosie O'Donnell's video blog (for example) and it bored me to death. Why would anyone take 10 minutes out of their finite, quickly ending life to listen to her and two friends talk about absolutely NOTHING? I don't get it?

Anyway, they say I need to be MORE RANDOM. Just think out loud. I've heard the same thing from several other people around the country . So... I'm NOT going to stop posting academic thoughts now and then, but I AM going to try to be more random.

Here's one... I saw Rocky VI the other night in a hotel at 2:00 cuz I couldn't sleep.

The movie wasn't terrible, but it did help me go to sleep. So thanks Rocky.

here's another random thought... I spoke at Mars Hill last week. LOVED IT. Loved the Church. And loved Rob Bell. what an interesting artistic out-of-the box thinker. They've got the vision for the Kingdom! Praise God.

Okay, enough randomness for now. Later.

And Jen is wonderful.

Greg
