The NET Bible website just got an overhaul and it is awesome. Check it out (be sure to mouse over the footnotes). And they seem to have renamed the web portion of their project NEXT Bible: http://nextbible.org
A clever Chi Alphan noticed that the Facebook now supports global groups. So they set up one titled: XA- CHI ALPHA WORLDWIDE -XA (I don’t know if that link will work or not - I took out the school prefix)
So Chi Alphans worldwide, unite!
“Of course, then the witches showed up and so we didn’t get to finish our conversation.”
I just finished reading Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport by Richard Mouw (president of Fuller Theological Seminary). It was great. I’ve read one other book of his, Consulting the Faithful: What Christian Intellectuals Can Learn from Popular Religion, and I loved it as well. I’d have to say he’s one of my favorite low-volume authors.
Dog the Bounty Hunter has to be one of the most fascinating individuals I’ve ever seen on television. If you ever get a chance to watch the show, I highly recommend it.
His name is “Fishstick.” 
“The revelation was one thing, the repetition quite another.”

Over Spring Break in March of 2006, 30 Chi Alpha students from Bozeman, MT traveled three days by bus to New Orleans to help people recover in the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina: “the most poignant moment came when a student, who is a relatively new Christian, walked into a ruined home and found a Bible still open on the kitchen table - where it has sat adhered by the original (and now dissipated) flood waters for months. ‘The Bible was opened to Psalm 90 where it says you are my dwelling place forever,‘ Lant recalls. ‘That moment really changed his life as he came to grips with the fact that earth was just a temporary residence . . . he now views things from a more spiritual perspective, what’s most lasting in his life and how temporal materialism is.’”
