I’m not saying that the advent of the printing press definitely was the worst event in history (certainly not with the many atrocities we can all list off the tops of our heads [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=derekelkins.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1341714&amp;post=112&amp;subd=derekelkins&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Plunge deeper into bliss. Tiny, abundant buttons delay. Fingertips, numb in the chill of anticipation. She is unveiled before me, by me. I am already hers.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally posted my work from my first semester at Drew on the &#8220;reflection&#8221; page. Generally, seminary students have to write a number of reflection papers in which we wax nostalgic about our &#8220;spiritual journeys.&#8221; That probably doesn&#8217;t interest you very much, and most of that content makes it&#8217;s way to the front page of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=derekelkins.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1341714&amp;post=109&amp;subd=derekelkins&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
