An Update
So, with no issue to discuss for now, I wanted to update people on various things.

My blog was mentioned in the online version of the Mennonite Weekly Review in this article on Mennonite weblogs. They also highlighted my Mennonite joke page, which I think gets little credit for being the best of its kind on the web.

Going down a few posts, you'll notice the number of responses to my question game is rising. Three men have submitted themselves to answer five of my tough questions. Patrick (posted on Mar. 17) and Jared (posted on Mar. 20) have responded already, while Donny's answers are likely on their way soon.

My prof offered me and opportunity to read a chapter of my novel to my Mennonite literature class this coming Thursday. I was thinking chapter two, but I'll have to look it over before I decide. I still haven't written anymore, but I will write more in April, when my schedule opens up a bit. Here's the link to where I keep it online. If you have a favourite chapter, let me know.

There was a bit of drama for me at church this Sunday. I decided that it was wasteful to print my sermon twice, once for revisions, and once for the final copy. This Sunday I decided to print my only copy at church an hour before it was to be preached. Plenty of time I thought. Anyway, after attempting a few different ways, and multiple reboots, I still was not able to print the sermon. At 10am, the time when I was supposed to be ascending to my seat, I still had no printed sermon. In desperation I gave Ana my keys and the disk and asked if she could go print the sermon off for me at home. Off she went and up I went. The service rolled along smoothly, and with less than a minute to go, she still hadn't arrived. I had written out a few point form notes for an outline, hoping that would be enough, in case she didn't get it to work on time, three verses into the 11-verse story of the Palm Sunday entrance in to Jerusalem, Ana arrived with my sermon. If they were available to me, I would have laid palm branches and coats at her feet as well.
