On the Today show Laura Bush told the hostess Anne Curry that, “no one suffers more than their President and I do.” A bold statement in light of the hundreds of thousands dead in Afghanistan and Iraq after a stroke of his pen. An even bolder statement in light of parents of dead VT [...]

A friend of mine challenged me recently to finding the best deal for a dollar on ebay. Rules are simple: give yourself a dollar to spend for the total auction price. Bonus for cheapest shipping.

Duke uses a system called “ACES” to register for classes.
Registration opened up for my class at 8am this morning. I dutifully got up early and logged in so I could register with my class only to discover that my semester of student pastoring means I’ve been bumped from registering with my class. My registration [...]
