Last night\u2019s episode of the West Wing was the first one in a while that was\u00adn\u2019t com\u00adplete\u00adly lame. The end\u00ading was a bit con\u00adtrived, but I liked the flow of the episode.<\/p>\n
That, how\u00adev\u00ader, is nei\u00adther here nor there.<\/p>\n
Also, I noticed that a Stan\u00adford grad joined Cirque de Soleil<\/a> while at the same time becom\u00ading Ms. Fit\u00adness USA. I swear, those stu\u00addents can be such over\u00adachiev\u00aders\u2026 I bet her mom has some fun\u00adny con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtions, though. \u201cSo your daugh\u00adter has a grad degree from Stanford\u2013what does she do?\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s per\u00adforms in the cir\u00adcus.\u201d<\/p>\n That also is nei\u00adther here nor there (but I note that you\u2019re still read\u00ading, and so it was at least inter\u00adest\u00ading).<\/p>\n Paula is doing well\u2013she\u2019s got just under two months to go until she gives birth to our first child. The biggest item on our to-do list now is buy\u00ading dia\u00adpers. Lots of dia\u00adpers.<\/p>\n Things are going well with Chi Alpha, espe\u00adcial\u00adly on a dis\u00adtrict (statewide) lev\u00adel.<\/p>\n Speak\u00ading of the dis\u00adtrict lev\u00adel, my dis\u00adtrict super\u00adin\u00adten\u00addent is retir\u00ading this April. This led Tim Smith<\/a>, who leads Chi Alpha at Sacra\u00admen\u00adto State<\/a> to have some fun:<\/p>\n Dear Bro. Cole\u2013<\/p>\n I don\u2019t want you to leave your cur\u00adrent office, but as talk\u00ading you out of it at this point seems unlike\u00adly, I am writ\u00ading today to offer you a new job as an Asso\u00adciate Cam\u00adpus Pas\u00adtor with me here in Chi Alpha-Sacra\u00admen\u00adto.<\/p>\n The perks of this job include: I\u2019m pret\u00adty sure I can get Chi Alpha and AGHM to waive the year-long Cam\u00adpus Mis\u00adsion\u00adary Intern\u00adship and Bere\u00adan require\u00adments, so we could have you on cam\u00adpus imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly after rais\u00ading your bud\u00adget. Also, if Mrs. Cole goes to work, they will count her income toward 20% of your bud\u00adget, so that could help.<\/p>\n Any\u00adway, you think about it, let me know if you\u2019re inter\u00adest\u00aded, and we\u2019ll sched\u00adule an inter\u00adview over piz\u00adza and Coke. <\/p>\n To which the amused Glen Cole replied:<\/p>\n I knew God would speak to me about my future. Yours is the first offer, so we will be in prayer\u00adful con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion about this. <\/p>\n Bless\u00adings!<\/p>\n GDC That\u2019s a lot fun\u00adnier if you know Glen Cole at all. Or if you know any\u00adthing about how Chi Alpha ranks on the inter\u00adnal AG peck\u00ading order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night\u2019s episode of the West Wing was the first one in a while that was\u00adn\u2019t com\u00adplete\u00adly lame.
