Oh Happy Day!
Joy, joy! I just got back from Cokesbury book store on campus here, and they had a "Crazy 8's" sale. What this means is that I got to fill up a bag full of books from specified racks and paid only $8.88! Woo hoo! I got 14 books for 9 bucks! That is awesome. For you, the readers, enjoyment, and for posterity, here are the books that I bought:
1. The Next Christendom: the coming of global Christianity by Jenkins
2. After Race: racism after multiculturalism by Darder and Torres
3. Christology in Cultural Perspective: marking out the horizons by Greene
4. Hinduism: a very short introduction by Knott
5. Exploring Unseen Worlds: William James and the Philosophy of Mysticism by G. William Barnard
6. Divine Nobodies by Jim Palmer
7. Women in the Early Church by Elizabeth A. Clark
8. the Art of Biblical Poetry by Robert Alter
9. The Transformation of Anglicanism by Sachs
10. Church Reimagined by Doug Pagitt
11. Praying with the Church by Scot McKnight
12. Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy by Descartes
13. The Changing Shape of Church History by Justo Gonzales
14. The Call to Conversion by Jim Wallis
and to make things even sweeter today, I picked up the rest of my books for class this fall:
Intro to Old Testament:
The Land by Walter Brueggemann
Intro to New Testament:
The New Interpreters Study Bible
Christian Heritage:
Early Christian Mystics by McGinn and McGinn
And the big one, Intro to Theology:

Dogmatics in Outline by Karl Barth
Handbook of Process Theology by McDaniel and Bowman

Miss Elaine Eous
Update on what's happenin:
* Been working about 20 hours a week at SMU, about 5-7 hours a week on Praise Team stuff (which is going spiffingly), and about the rest of my time reading and working on the apartment with Jaimie.
* I have been listening to my MP3 player abunchaton. While at work, while walking around campus, while driving (i know, illegal, blah blah blah), and while reading. It is proving to be awesome. Soundtracks to life are fun.
What I'm readin:
* I have finally put down PNHotW. Not because I finished, but because once I passed 1500, things got really hairy. I think its because we still haven't figured out what the major 'threads' of history after that point really are yet. Things are still too cluttered, too fresh. Give us another 200 years, we'll be able to summarize 1500-2oo0 much easier...
* I just picked up my first assigned book for School - History of the World Christian Movement: Vol 1 - Earliest Christianity to 1453. So far so good; I like the writing style. The perspective is nice, as the authors are very focused on a global picture of the church's history. But it is somewhat of a review. The names, faces, and places are familiar - I guess that's a good thing...
Random thoughts on my PVM:
Jaimie and I watched the Democratic CNN/Youtube debate. Pretty entertaining, as far as debates go. Of course, I loved Obama - he was clear, outspoken about reform, and seemed to be the most consistent candidate on the stage. He speaks from a solid platform - I don't know when the last time a front-running presidential candidate spoke that passionately about the systemic failures of the political machine as it is. More power to him, if he can get the nomination. I told Jaimie last night, if this man is not president sometime in the next 4 terms, then our country is broken. Of course, that might be an exaggeration, but you get my point.
The rest of the candidates weren't bad. Jaimie is a Clinton fan, and I could vote for her (my biggest fear is that she will be a divider, whereas Obama will be a uniter); we both liked Edwards alright, and Biden got big points for being calm in demeanor compared with the rest of the stage... Gravel was fun, as always.
Overall, we both felt like, more than anything, the debate made us want to get more involved in this whole politics thing. I've been feeling more and more of a call to holistic Christianity. We need to find a way as a couple to make sure that all aspects of our life fall under the cross - home, work, politics, school, etc, etc. And we need to be in movement - in action. I'll be thinking about that today...
