Lots of work going on to welcome students new and old here at SSU. Lots of activity, lots of planning, lots of cleaning, lots of prep… lots of stress that results in great joy when everyone is here.

This YouTube clip of laughing babies should get you through the next few days of “back to school.” Ah, the rhythms of life…

Hi. Ben Wilt here. I am 11 years old, and my Dad thought it would be a good idea if I took over a blog post while he’s on his trip.

We agreed that this video would be a good post for all you friends to watch, especially because we’re a pretty organic family. May the farm be with you.

We have a number of friends going through great difficulties right now, and we ourselves have hit a few bumps.

In the midst of that, a friend sent me this:

I Like You

So, be liked. That’s about as profound as its going to get today.

We begin our intensive, 2 week SSU Master’s module next week, and will be doing a FreeFall (3 hr. worship night) as well.

I’ll try to post as I can. Gregory the Great, Thomas Oden, the Genesis scribe and the lil’ fam will be getting most of my daily attention.

If you haven’t yet, check out www.vintage21.com, click on videos, and then on page 2, the Jesus Videos. They are spoofs on the way people perceive Jesus today. Vid 3 is a real keeper.

Found this over at Terry Storch’s blog. I laughed. Scroll down and pick one at StrongBad Email, or or just pick “Crazy Cartoon.” Making sense can be over-rated.
