My advice? There are better books and most definitely better theologians to read.

How does this tagging thing work?

Posted by: Bill Huffhine | August 18, 2006 at 02:59 PM

Bill,

Bob tagged me after he had been tagged by someone. Now I've tagged some folks who will (hopefully) end up tagging others, who will tag others, etc., etc.

Hola Chris! Nice to hear from you, even in the form of a tag :-P I'll get on this soon... it will come as a welcome procrastination from what I'm supposed to be doing

Posted by: Anna | August 19, 2006 at 06:15 PM

Anna,

Procrastination? What's that?

Blessings,

Chris

I finally did it, lol. THIS was the thing I was procrastinating doing!! I just read over my list, and I'm not sure "what" it says about me. I had half a dozen thoughts for every category, and I guess I've read so many of these memes, I tried to steer clear of the choices I've seen repeated. I mean no Piper, Lewis or McLaren mentions?? They're three of my favorites! Hmmm...I've gotta go back over to PENSIEVE and add another thought.........

Thanks for the tag...paybacks, my friend, paybacks;)
