Next you run into your kids' room. The flames are really jumping now. You yell at the kids to run out of the house with you only they see you in your survival poncho and have the bejesus scared out of them because you look like a dementor so they hide under the bed and refuse to come out. You all burn to death. Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all.

Oh, Schuyler, I am in finals and everything is bad and worse, and just now I laughed and laughed and laughed and thank you for that little blessed moment in the middle of madness.


Now you want to do something else for me, right? Right. OK. Go to my seminary blog, http://withahbrightwings.blogspot.com, please please please, and post something two posts down about "What is Xty?" for a paper of the same title. I'm totally quoting you on the Emergent kids can't go two sentences without using the word "postmodern" thing, esp. since we've been studying post-denominational churches. I need feedback. It's a descriptive paper, not a prescriptive paper. What IS Xty? Argh. Help me! The paper is due Thursday!
