IM away message from Jackie, a school friend:

You haven't seen our favorite 6'4" guy traipsing around anywhere have you? Because he is quite idle for someone who is supposed to be revising a 7 page paper. :-) If you see him, please escort him back to his room and make him get to work. :-)

I'll get to my paper... at some point.

PS: Good verbiage, Jackie. Traipsing is new to me. I like it.

An IM from Hannah, a school friend:

I enjoyed every one of our conversations, and though I may disagree vehemently at times, you showed more respect than any Christian I have ever met; you gave things genuine thought and were a true class act. Thanks Tim. Go be the next C.S. Lewis...

That has got to be one of the sweetest things anyone has said about me in recent memory. She's had a really tough year. In fact, she left school a couple of weeks ago and left today on a humanitarian mission to Uzbekistan. She's one of the bravest people I know.... Pray for her, please.
