Yesterday I went to a preview of a seminary down the street. I didn't know the preview was happening that night so it was good timing. I was eating the free meal with 10 other prospective students when out of the blue a guy from Gillette came to my table! I met Paul this summer at a young adults group I was invited to in Gillette. He mentioned that day that he was moving to Portland. He has been attending the church that I visted the last 2 sundays here in Portland. That was crazy. It was also funny to hear that one of the profs was born in Hastings, NE; the very town that I was born in! I guess it's confirmation. So, I will now embark on my seminary adventure! Well...not quite yet. But the events are a bit strange.
I also ran into an interesting fellow named Christopher. I was standing by an overhead TV just for a moment as I was interested in a Larry King interview with the maker of the new movie, "Religulous" and Christopher asked, "Anything interesting?" I told him that this guy made a movie about how rediculous all the religions of the world are and has a fun time laughing at people of faith. Then he started to mention how arragant this man was and pointed to different reasons why he thought this, he then said that I have many of the same traits. I said, "Yes I am aware that I am very self absorbed and that I love myself so much that I hate myself." That all happened in about 2 minites or less. He then went on to say that he is autistic. I had a great talk with him and we went on our seperate ways. He did say that I should check out a free seminary in South Korea. I thought that I would share a bit of this strange conversation I had yesterday.

It's true. No matter where you go, or how far away you are, someone from Gillette will always be there. It's the worst.
Say hello to Paul for us, from Kyle and Mandy. Glad to hear you are doing well. Are you thinking of seminary?! Or film making?
