One of the great things about living in Pasadena is that you're really close to Los Angeles, Hollywood, and all the cool things those places have to offer. The funny thing is that I thought I had done just about everything, was over the hype, was really only interested in the little niche activities (hiking in Eaton Canyon, coffee at The Bourgeois Pig, etc.) because I grew up here (in Arcadia) and I thought I'd done it all.

I had an interesting experience at a Bible study within the past couple of weeks, one that highlights the kind of theological study one engages at Fuller. We were studying Habakkuk (an admittedly difficult book) using an inductive method.  We reached a point towards the end of the study for that week where we were talking about the afterlife and how that might fit into what Habakkuk was writing about
