Missions Conference - COLD FUSION

Hey guys!

This weekend is Missions Conference! Hope you guys can come out this Friday and Saturday!

Friday is a joint program. Basically speaker from 8pm-9:30pm (approx). I was hoping that after the program, we go bubble tea to just chill and catch up!

Saturday's program include 6pm-7:30pm dinner, and then at 8pm, there's a speaker. Please try to attend!!! It'll be amazing (We'll learn EVEN MORE about cold fusion!), so just come out even for the 2 hours for the message at 8pm. In other words, take a break from your studying, John! HAHA Oh, and if you're coming to dinner (I think there might be a few tickets left), come a bit earlier (i.e. 5:30pm). Peter needs help setting up stuff for the dinner.

Hope to see you guys soon!

An Interesting Conversation

Elizabeth	darnn, this is so hard pickign a topic for my research paper ><
Justin	whats it for
Elizabeth	http://killercoke.org/
Elizabeth	its for my equity class
Elizabeth	thats an interesting site
Elizabeth	these are what i had in mind:
Elizabeth	well topic wise -a campaign spearheaded by or endorsed by celebrities (org: keep a child alive) -an analyses of abercrombie and fitch and its relation to issues of equity -focus on a brand/corp and diss teh equity issues surrounding it (haven't chose one)
Justin	ah
Elizabeth	I dont know what to pick, I have to start b/c i need to hand in my proposal tmr! hahahaa its so hard!
Justin	equity eh
Elizabeth	yaa
Justin	in what context?
Elizabeth	like....ok, say I was doing the keep a child alive thing
Elizabeth	its an equity issue b/c of the negative picture we show of africa, which indeed what started these problems were globalization
Elizabeth	and then for A&F the equity issues would be ones around their employment discrimination and their target audience
Elizabeth	mann, if i do one on A&F it'll make me feel so bad to ever wear my clothign again ..and i have so much from them :S
Justin	haha
Elizabeth	I can pretty much toss away my jacket/bags/sweaters/shirts/tees/pants/and w/e else I might have bought from them LOL
Elizabeth	or i will keep them and feel like a hypocrite hahaha oh the predicaments
Justin	or u can rip out the logos and burn them
Justin	lol
Justin	I'm joking btw.
Elizabeth	LOL
Elizabeth	i think i've settled for this topic
Justin	I would pick something that has a lot of discussion/source material
Elizabeth	yaa, but I can't really think of anything atm
Elizabeth	I coudl talk abotu hurricane katrina and all the inequities it revealed
Justin	so your focus would be the US government?
Elizabeth	yes, and more
Justin	can you focus on more than one organization?
Elizabeth	depends what orgs they are
Justin	an interesting topic would be to examine the proportion of aid and economic support from north-american organizations that's going overseas, vs what's going to native indians within the country
Justin	as a spotlight on exactly how equity is viewed in our society
Justin	or rather whether our definition of equity has been hijacked by politics and business
Justin	and world opinion
Elizabeth	interesting, but that might be too broad
Justin	yeah maybe
Justin	thats probly more like a thesis paper :P
Elizabeth	lol well it is sorta a thesis paper lol
Justin	hehe well anyway, just a suggestion
Elizabeth	thanks maybe i can work around it lol
Justin	np
Elizabeth	yo ,i really do like your idea, its interesting
Justin	haha
Elizabeth	but then it'd be really hard to research on ur topic
Justin	yeah honestly I understand there's a certain degree of stubbornness from the first nations - they're not adapting to the changing world
Justin	but that said, neither the canadian nor US governments are doing nearly enough considering these are the people whose land was conquered in order that we have first world society
Justin	and I think it would be interesting to see the results of a comparitive study on foreign/domestic aid.... see if the governments are as deeply hypocritical as it seems
Justin	however informal that study is
Elizabeth	but you know what...the first nations people want to preserve their culture
Elizabeth	and after the years and years of broken treaties, oppression and exploitation, they're community is so broken down
Justin	so then there should be economic and social support programs - at least much more than there is right now
Elizabeth	ya
Justin	right now there's more work being done by organizations like katimavik for the first nations than there is by the government
Elizabeth	but you know those assistant programs can be really detrimental to
Justin	right but that's a political issue, not an equity issue
Elizabeth	no, its na equity issue too
Justin	really?
Elizabeth	ya, their economic assistance is impeding their economic growth
Elizabeth	like we're surpressing them making the world and those we're 'helping' think that they are dependent on us
Justin	well yeah, that's what I mean. what the government is offering isn't true support
Justin	you can't just throw welfare at a situation and assume its going to solve itself
Elizabeth	its an equity issue b/c it affects how others view them including themselves...theres a since of inferiority
Elizabeth	reinforcing eurocentrism
Justin	I don't think that's really an issue.... currently most of the world turns a blind eye to them anyway
Elizabeth	a lot of things go back to equity issues, its annoying sometimes critiquing everything
Elizabeth	well, we see it as an issue
Elizabeth	sometimes us 'first worlds' gotta realize that we might not be helping them by sticking our noses intothe situation...is. IMF and SAPs
Elizabeth	but ok, perhaps i'm diverting from the topic though
Justin	yeah but the problem is, our noses are in their situation whether we like it or not
Justin	we created their situation
Justin	and ignoring it is obviously not helping
Elizabeth	I'm thinking more like...programs to help africa ..we're really just placing them more in debt
Elizabeth	ya, thats true
Elizabeth	but we're going at it in the wrong way by implementing these programs on them
Elizabeth	but ok, the first nations people is different though
Elizabeth	i'm thinking more of other countries so i guess its different
Elizabeth	wait...I totally forgot about the topic we were talking about
Justin	yeah I just think politics and business has taken over everything we think is a moral cause
Elizabeth	sorry, that was the point, we're paying not enough attention to the aboriginals, instead we stick our noses elsewhere where we're not evne doing that much good as harm
Justin	what's to say africa is more important than the first nations, especially after the grievances they've suffered
Elizabeth	its the affects of globalization
Elizabeth	while we shouldnt stand idle watching the world suffer b/c of what we've inflicted on them the first place, we also shouldnt be implementing these harmful programs b/c we're not helping...so perhaps we should draw back a bit and look at our problems here in canada
Elizabeth	we've 'invested' (detrimentally) so much on world issues and yet neglected those who we've taken 'our' land from violently
Elizabeth	thats what you're arguing right?
Justin	yes, sort of
Justin	I think it's a broader issue than political motivation, because why do governments do anything? to garner political favour either domestic or international
Elizabeth	theres definately more behind it all
Justin	and when you talk about currying political favour within the country - so they can stay in power - they capitalize on popular opinion. what's trendy
Justin	right now, saving africa is trendy. just look at live 8
Elizabeth	yes the trendiness of 'helping' others!
Elizabeth	we were talking about this briefly and its interesting
Justin	I read an article saying there was a ridiculous amount of waste generated by the live 8 event, nevermind the pollution caused by the planes for all these participants flying in on private jets
Justin	if they really wanted to do something big, it wouldn't have been a massive, idiotic concert
Elizabeth	exactly
Justin	but yeah. back to what I was saying.... the first nations don't get more attention in north america because not enough people care
Justin	as a public, we are not doing anything, so the government feels almost no pressure to do anything
Justin	and so ultimately the equity issue rests on us
Elizabeth	i like how each year its a different trend of awareness :P
Justin	at least assuming our democracy works the way its supposed to
Justin	yeah it's really ridiculous.
Elizabeth	I think aids was last yrs trend
Justin	it even wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so much merchandising with each "movement"
Elizabeth	the year before was environmental awareness I beleive?
Elizabeth	ya, the awareness plays on commercialism
Justin	like how much pollution was generated so that people could buy t-shirts saying "go green or go home?"
Justin	thats why I don't own anything like that
Justin	unless these companies permanently replace their regular products with so-called green products, its all just a masked effort to generate more money
Elizabeth	its good to get across the msg, but not to benefit big companies
Elizabeth	its hard to find
Justin	well yeah. and when's the last time a t-shirt caused a huge social movement
Elizabeth	oh ya the yr before was also make poverty history
Justin	probly never.
Justin	haha yeah I remember that
Elizabeth	haha no
Elizabeth	its sad these issues are just trend-setters..shows us how much globalization has affected us :P
Justin	its really interesting, I see a lot of parallels between these sorts of things and what we're taught in church
Justin	like... it's pointless and possibly even counter-productive in the end to preach the gospel if you don't practice it
Elizabeth	ya
Justin	and its the same thing with all these global causes
Elizabeth	but i'll admit, i'm a sucker for certain things that makes me a hypocrite...
Justin	environmentalism.... you can wear as many slogans as you want, but if you don't change your lifestyle at all, what good are you doing
Elizabeth	ya
Justin	well to a certain degree its unavoidable.... our economy is consumer-driven
Justin	but there's a lot more to it than slapping a twenty over the counter for a t-shirt, or going to an activist concert
Elizabeth	sometimes i feel so hopeless b/c its soo hard to not conform in our ways, being an environmentalist or an equity activist is so inconvenient due to how our world is set up around luxuries, convenience and etc
Justin	yeah it does require a level of introspection
Elizabeth	but if we dont start, things arent going to change itself
Justin	but IMO it often lines up with what we deal with spiritually, staying true to what we know is right
Justin	and so in that regard I feel I'm a lot better off than non-Christians because I have the tools to keep myself on such paths
Elizabeth	the idea of not dwelling/desiring/treasuring worldly things play a big role in all of this
Justin	yeah for sure
Justin	I think I've become a lot more socially conscious since accepting Christ
Justin	and I was a pretty opinionated on social justice before already
Elizabeth	and you know what, as much as my equity class bashes on Christianity, I find that the more i learn about my faith, the easier it is to be more enviromentally aware/ dealwith equity issues myself
Justin	yeah for sure
Justin	haha your class bashes christianity eh
Elizabeth	ya! a lot
Justin	u know I used to have issue when people bash christianity, but after a while I realized
Justin	especially after reading a particular passage in the bible (can't remember which)
Justin	but basically it said of those who hear the word, there will be those who don't follow, despite the appearance they put up
Justin	so there's going to be christians who perpetuate misunderstandings and negative stereotypes as long as the church is on earth
Elizabeth	ya, I realized that
Justin	and if we're going to do God's work, it's our task to correct these things, not blame people for their ignorance
Elizabeth	ya
Elizabeth	but then again its also impt to reveal to them these issues
Justin	yeah but action makes most of these things self-evident
Justin	hence the focus about being a witness
Justin	I actually thought about this a lot in regard to my music, as in what I should do with what I've been given
Elizabeth	yaa
Justin	cuz there's a lot of artists who personally hold christian beliefs, and most of them fall into one of two categories
Justin	worship artists, who lets be honest, really only affect those who already believe, or are searching
Elizabeth	ya
Justin	and mainstream artists, whose "worldly" music isn't connected to their faith
Elizabeth	ya, I see that a lot too
Justin	and what I'm coming to realize is it's not about the music.... the music is a tool
Elizabeth	and then sometimes you'll hear a random part where it'll show their faith butthen you listen to the other songs and its totally not apparent
Justin	you have to make the focus what you do and what your life is for
Elizabeth	ya...well i think switchfoot and lifehouse sorta falls between the two categories
Justin	yep exactly
Justin	and Mae
Justin	in between the two categories ultimately fails
Justin	because there's no watering down the truth
Justin	but anyway.... in context of the focus being your self and your life living for God, either way is useful for reaching out
Justin	if you make secular music, you're doing missions
Elizabeth	well those that dont know the gospel misinterprets their songs sometimes
Justin	because people who like your music get to know you, and through you they get a glimpse of God
Justin	and if you do worship music, then you are helping to strengthen the Church by showing what it means to live the word
Justin	it's actually nothing new right, but I think because music is so trapped in the entertainment industry, that separation of living and doing isn't easily made
Elizabeth	ya, its really hard, but then again living a Christian life isn't supposed to be easy :P
Justin	yeah but living a christian life has a context-specific element right
Justin	and if you're going to be a public figure, your witness and action must be public. I think that's what is lacking in the performing arts
Justin	when it comes to spreading the word
Justin	its no good if you're switchfoot and participate in all sorts of charity efforts but nobody outside of christians know what you're doing or care.
Elizabeth	yes but also you know that a lot of times its these artists that get surpressed because all of a sudden it makes it seem like you're forcing christianity on the population and that becomes a touchy subject
Justin	but that's the thing, you're not
Justin	because you're not trying to preach with your music
Justin	you're preaching with how you live
Elizabeth	I guess it would depend on yoru lyrics
Justin	well that's what's involved with being a musician right... your work is writing songs
Justin	ultimately the way I feel is, there's no getting away from detractors. but currently there are hardly any artists successfully bringing Christ to the masses because they either merge their music with their faith, or try to make it "acceptable" by distilling it, which is ineffective
Elizabeth	tis true
Justin	and IMO it's because the focus is too much on the music, and not on what it means to be Christian in an industry which is completely material
Justin	man, if I'd only managed to say that at the beginning. lol

Cheggitout

Came across this while browsing deviantart... pretty awesome.

Dragon Ball

So according to this, a live-action Dragonball film is in the works. Storywise it breaks a little from the anime: the character of Krillen has been cut out, Piccolo is a Saiyan (!!) and both Goku and Chi Chi are adults. Anyway, since I know a bunch of us watch anime, I thought it would be fun to throw out some casting choices. Feel free to make your own recommendations :)

Goku - ?
18 years old, Goku is considered uncool and unpopular at school, but he is in fact an extremely talented martial arts fighter who gets rigorous training from his grandfather, Gohan. After the death of his grandfather by the evil Lord Piccolo, Goku finds his destiny in his grandfather's dying request that he find Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls (of which he has one) in order to prevent Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the dragonballs to take over the world. Trained by Master Roshi, aided by Bulma and Yamcha, friends he meets along the way, Goku proves himself a formidable, almost undefeatable fighter. On many dangerous adventures to find the remaining Dragon Balls and thus save the world, Goku conquers physical and emotional challenges, ultimately saving the world but clearly impelled to spend his life searching for the Dragon Balls with his trusty companions.

Bulma - Maggie Q
20s, female, pretty, with great intelligence behind her gleaming eyes, Bulma is a determined, competitive young woman whose father's five star Dragon Ball was stolen by Lord Piccolo, and who believes that she can harness their unlimited energy and change the world like Edison or Einstein. Bulma, who has a DBE (a Dragon Ball locator device), teams up with Goku, and with him meets up with Master Roshi and Yamcha as they attempt to collect the missing Dragon Balls before Piccolo can destroy the world. A resourceful and courageous young woman who's also a weapons expert, she overcomes many obstacles with her colleagues, only to find the seven Dragon Balls ultimately snatched from their grasp--but it's clear she's going to continue searching for them with Goku and Yamcha.


Yamcha - Will Yun Lee
20s, "the bad boy who has no trouble attracting women," he taunts Goku, Bulma and Master Yoshi, who are trapped in a sand cave, rather than helping them with his rope ladder. However, after overhearing Master Roshi's tale of Piccolo once nearly destroyed the Earth and are preparing to do so again, Yamcha has a change of heart and not only helps the three in the desert, but becomes a valuable part of the team. An ingenious young man whose utililty truck is the Swiss Army Knife of trucks--every tool and gear imaginable sprouts from its body--Yamcha joins Goku, Bulma (with whom he becomes romantically involved) and Master Yoshi on their quest to find the seven Dragon Balls before Piccolo.


Master Roshi - James Hong
This older man is a good friend of Goku's grandfather, Gohan, and Goku comes to enlist his help after his grandfather is killed. Although he looks like a beggar, Roshi is one of the world’s most fearsome fighters. Master Roshi begins Goku's rigorous training to prepare him for the adventure of finding and fighting for the seven Dragon Balls to save the world from Piccolo's destructive plan. A wise, somewhat wry man who knows as much about human nature as he does about martial arts, Master Roshi is impressed with Goku's fighting but reminds him of his failings as well.


Mai - ?
Late 20s, female, her features exotic, sexy but deadly, dressed in gleaming black, with weapons strapped all over her body, she's a martial arts expert and Lord Piccolo's chief enforcer. Crafty and quick thinking, Mai uses her ability to shapeshift near the climax of the movie and takes on the form of Chi Chi, a young martial arts expert who's romantically involved with Goku and later saves Piccolo from Master Roshi's curse; once she is revealed she ends up in the fight of her life.

Piccolo - Andre Braugher
An ancient being who despite his humanoid appearance, is from an alien race determined to take over the world. Piccolo is the cursed ruler of a demonic race who nearly destroyed Earth 2000 years ago, and with the coming of the eclipse and the possession of all seven Dragon Balls, he's prepared to free himself and do the job right this time. Crafty and smart, Piccolo has some disturbing news for Goku, namely that the boy is actually a Saiyan who's destined to join Piccolo as his right hand in destroying and enslaving the planet.


Chi Chi - ?
Goku’s lifelong love interest, Chi Chi is an attractive, tom boy-ish young woman who has grown up with Goku. She has studied martial arts and has always suspected that Goku possesses talents that are unusual and extraordinary. After Goku embarks on his journey to redeem his grandfather’s death, Chi Chi meets up with Goku and his crew at a tournament of champions where their mutual attraction finally heats up during a training session.

(Old) Gohan - Chow Yun Fat
Goku's kindly, wise grandfather, he looks like he's in his 70s but moves like Jet Li. An accomplished martial artist who trains Goku on the bow staff, he loves his grandson and is happy to prepare a special feast for him on his 18th birthday, as well as a special gift: a 3 star Dragon Ball. Tragically, Gohan is struck down by the high ninjas of the Namek-Jins, and as he dies he sends his grandson out to do face his destiny and do battle against them.

On a sidenote, I seem to have picked a lot of asian actors. Do you think they'll actually go in that direction, or do you think it'll be a typically Hollywood cast of white and black/hispanic actors with a token asian thrown in for good measure?

Problems posting?

Hey everyone,

I've changed everyone's status to admin because I've been hearing that some of you can't create your own posts. Everyone should be able to make posts now, and have access to the blog settings as well, so feel free to blog with us. If someone other than me, Felix, Justin, or Tim could make a post that would be great - just so I can test whether this alleviates our problem. If you're still having problems, email me at cmsuen@gmail.com


Knock yourselves out.

A Lesson / A Choice

Welp, I just bought an iphone on ebay. But I forgot that customs charges GST + PST on everything marked over $60, so in the end I'm paying more than if I drove to Buffalo and got one myself (which I realize I'm going to have to do). Now I have to wait for the seller to ship it to me, pay the incidental fees, and then resell it. With the demand out there I'll recover my costs, but it's extra work that I could have avoided.

Moral of the story: don't buy items over $60 on eBay, unless it's shipping within Canada.

--

What do you guys think about this purchase? I don't mean the eBay mistake, but getting an iphone at all.

Personally I am against extravagant spending, but with this I'm torn. Disorganization has been a thorn in my side since I was a kid, and I've been considering getting a PDA for a while now (paper agendas continually elude me). My rationale with the iphone was: a PDA with a decent feature set is gonna cost ~$300 anyway, so I might as well spend the extra $150 for an iphone, which would give me an added media player, camera, and phone. However, $450 is $450, and it being an Apple device makes me feel even more like a consumer whore.

So yeah... Godly struggles indeed... your thoughts appreciated. And Felix, glad to hear you're getting better.

SUPPPP!

Hey everyone!

I haven't checked the blog since my last post and its great to hear from you all! It seems like everyone is starting to get busy. I've been quite busy myself. I finished two assignments yesteday and then I just got assigned 3 more due next week. So unfortunately I don't think I'll be coming out till Thanksgiving.

Well this year I've been starting to attend fellowship. I go to Laurier Chinese Christian Fellowship and its been great so far. We had a bible study yesterday about being living sacrifices for God and not conforming to the world. It was a good reminder that everyday I need to live my life for God in all that I do.

Oh and I'm getting better already from my cold. It takes awhile to recover cause my house is very humid, so it affects my breathing. Thanks for the prayers.

It's good to see that coluni is still running well! Good stuff! I really do hope that when I come back I'll see growth in the fellowship and hopefully some new members as well. :)

I know what you mean about school Justin. I don't have that much confidence in myself either. For me, the lazy side of me always seems to be tempting me to not do work. But thank God the past two weeks I've been working my butt off. I just hope I can keep it up till the end of the term. I guess we need to trust in the Lord and his provision.

Well I'll be praying for you all. hope to hear whats happening with you guys this week.

Take care,

Felix

Band of Brothers

Hey guys!

We've formed new small groups tonight at CollUni, and it turns out that 4 of us men became one of the groups. These four are Justin, John, Keith, and I. I've already asked Colin (by email) to send an invite for Keith to join our Men's Group blog. He just recently joined CollUni.

Anyway, I'm excited because our Men's Group can actually continue to have small group during CollUni, which makes it easier for us to continue the bonding and fellowshipping. Oh, and we've also came up with our cell group name: Band of Brothers (or BOB for short). So yup, look forward to having you out-of-town brothers to join the BOB CollUni small group!

As for my week, it went well! Nothing really special, but slowly I feel that work is piling up. I'm already behind, but that's normal haha. But yup, gotta stay on track and stuff! I'm actually a Sports Director for Chinese Engineering Student's Association (CESA) at UofT downtown, so that's keeping me quite busy. I'm glad that I have this opportunity because many of these people in the club are non-Christians, so hopefully this can be my mission field for this year!

Anyway, enjoy the weekend everybody! ttyl!

Hey men,

I'm glad to see that we're actually putting this blog to use. To be honest, I was a little worried because I'd be checking everyday, and then when I was more at ease, I see three posts. It's been a blessing to be able to see people sharing in their posts. I hope that as time goes on, we'll continue to open up.

I'm about halfway through my second week of school and so far it's been good. I can't really complain about 16 hours of class, compared to my first year average of about 25 hrs. I am keeping busy though, running the student Meal Exchange volunteer program. It's an initiative to raise awareness about local hunger, and one of the activities we have is collecting non-perishable foods on Halloween and donating the food to the London Food Bank. I'm very grateful that at this point we have almost 75 volunteers signed up. I'm just praying that this opportunity to serve the community will really open the eyes of students and myself to some of the real issues of this world, and to appreciate and share the luxuries that we have. So feel free to join me in these praises and prayer requests.

Perhaps this is some form of "being missional", but one of the disadvantages of working for impartial charities is that you're not supposed to promote your religious beliefs. Ideally, I would want the message of the gospel to be the backing for this initiative instead of a bunch of generous people giving. So how do I let people know that it's because of God's love that these provisions are being made? I guess that's something I will have to think about for now.

Anyways, it was good to hear from you guys, and I hope you're all doing well with school and stuff. I would love to hear about how CollUni is going too, and I encourage you all to pray for the growth and refinement for this fellowship as they face new challenges in a new school year. I'll also be praying for Justin and Felix too, as per their requests. Have fun everyone!

Missional Church

Hey guys,

We finished the last of the series in regards to "Creating a Missional Church" today, and just wanted to leave you guys to think about this definition:

The Missional Church is a community of Christ's followers who are contrasted from its community by holiness, yet with a deep yearning to reach its community for Christ in an ever growing circle of influence.

So are we doing our part in creating SCAC as a missional church? How can we apply this to our lives out on our campuses during the school year?

Yup, so I guess those are some of the thoughts I had, and maybe you guys can think about them too!

And now, 2nd week of SKULE! (1st for some of you...)

-Tim

Hey guys, hope things are going well and your schedules aren't too brutal. I've got about 22 hours of class/week, a couple classes at 9am, and a couple classes that end at 6pm. The only real bad part is driving all the way across town through rush hour, both ways... I'm thinking about staying late on the days I have 6pm classes, just so it doesn't take so long coming back.

Overall things are shaping up. I feel like I shouldn't say anything beyond that... I have a lot of uncertainty and doubt given my past experiences with school, but I guess that's just me being hesitant to trust in His provision. I've been praying about it.

Btw I like how we have Colin, Felix, Justin, and then JerJai and silvRflmes. Reminds me of Xbox gamer profiles for some reason.

Hey guys!

Thanks for setting this blogpage up colin. Now lets get some blogging done! Well most of you have started school already, so how was the first 2 days of school? Getting use to school life again?

As for me I'm getting sick. I think its a cold of some sort, but this isn't good! Of all the days I'm getting sick at the start of school...GAYYYYNESS. I'm moving in tomorrow afternoon. Got tons of stuff to clean. Good news is that I bought all my groceries today. Its so much cheaper at no frills then at sobeys!

Well thats just about all that happened today.

Here are some prayer requests, if you guys can pray for me that'll be awesome.

God's healing for my cold.
I'm having back pains too, so if you could pray for that as well.
Discipline and Hard work for this new school year.


I hope to hear from everyone and how you're doing.

Men's Cell

Hey Men,

I thought Felix's blog idea was great so I decided to set one up for our men's cell. I think keeping in touch and being able to sound off our thoughts and experiences with each other would be a great way to share the love, because thats what it's all about. It's the least we can do as brothers in Christ, and it will give us another way to encourage one another, shout out our praises, share scriptures, and make prayer requests so we can experience what it is to love one another in a totally manly way - and by the end we can proudly proclaim "I LOVE MEN!" wholeheartedly and heterosexually, not caring what the world thinks of us.

So let's try to make the most of the school year and keep in touch. Oh, and if you're feeling like this blog has homosexual undertones, just watch the Scrubs episode entitled "My Musical" in Season 6.
