Six Word Story

ok, was looking around and found this article through Wired. I guess that Hemingway wrote a story with only six words.

"For Sale: Baby Shoes, never worn."


They have a list of other stories that they asked writers to compose.

New Book I'm starting

Starting a new book tonight, Got it as an early Easter present from my parents
It is a signed copy of the book "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin It deals with Mortenson, who was a mountain climber, decision to start building schools all around the Himalaya region particularly the northern section of Pakistan.
Should be very interesting, he is the grandson of a member at my parents church and was there for a adult bible school session and signed some copies.

I will try to post updates to what I think about the book.

Theology on Tap

We started a new book for Theology on Tap last week, (for those who don't know Theology on Tap, ToT, is held a Brewer's Bar and Lounge) called Jesus by Walt Wangerin.

It is looking very good right know, only have read the first section so far though. it was told from Mary's perspective, looking at the child life of Jesus. We have the birth story, Jesus being left in Jerusalem after the Passover.

The next section is from the view of one of the Disciples.
