was better than Iron Man, and Iron Man was pretty good.

"Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain."

Don't tell your kids that they're smart. Although for some people, having smart kids might not be an issue :P

senior banquet
Senior banquet was last night.
What argument do we have in defense of our faith, when faced with this world's suffering? Christ's pure, unconditional, and unrequited love. No other argument comes close.
- Joung (liberally paraphrased)
No one will remember what you say at senior banquet, only how you looked.
- Dennis
Okay, so the second statement is only partially true. I really only remembered two things. Ephraim remembered more, I'm sure, he was taking notes.
As for the first, there was a quote Joung used from Brothers Karamazov, by Dostoevsky. I will have to read that book someday, along with The Idiot, which Bonnie mentioned once a few months back. I believe God's relationship with us was compared to a rich man's proposal to a prostitute. God's goodness is greater than our unworthiness.
