Mmmmm…

I just got a craving for spiced beef quesadillas from El Fenix.

They call it Picadillo Meat now, apparently.

Pizza.

Welcome to Two-Point Perspective

Welcome to Two-Point Perspective: Life from a Christian Worldview. Jenny and I will be posting on this blog together and as far as we know the topics will include everything that comes to us.

All the posts below this one (older than this date) belonged to my old blog, Wrinkle In Time.

The old site will not be updated any more, though I will probably eventually fix the dead links.

Pizza.

Picture!

We finally got pictures taken!

Rings

The first is the pearl ring that I designed for Jenny (obviously) it was made by J. Keith’s Jewelers

The second ring is the one that Jenny bought me to wear whilst we are engaged. It came from James Avery.

A picture of us together will come soon.

Engaged!

Well, I just thought that I would announce that Jenny and I were Engaged tonight. For those who care about such things, I was playing We Five on my Hi-Fi when I asked her.

I did get on my knees, because we always kneel down. I also asked before dinner, I had to ask her before dinner because the prospect of sitting at dinner really gave me butterflies. It really worked out wonderfully.

The most surprising thing to me was that she didn’t even expect it. : )

Interesting Episode

Well I tried something out last night that didn’t turn out so well.

I decided that I would build a fire in the fireplace and enjoy the nice heat with the lights all out. It was very pleasant until the fire started to die down. The smoke then ceased going up the chimney and decided it would go anywhere it liked — which mostly consisted of the whole apartment.

Today it seemed to be worse, and Brent (my roommate) couldn’t take it anymore (not that I was complacent about the whole matter but my efforts to this afternoon didn’t really help). He busted out the febreeze and all 6 candles he owns and proceeded to fumigate the apartment.

It smells really nice now. The intensity of the candles this evening are second only to antique malls or very gifty gift shops selling ceramic figurines (well okay, almost). But it really is way better than it was this afternoon that is for sure.

Looking forward to going home the end of this month : )

Various…

Well I am sorry that I haven’t been saying anything lately. I have been working hard at SMA + Architects and in my free time I have been trying to get my new (actually used) iPod working. In fact I am going back to work on it now.

On a quick side note – Our town, Wylie, of the great state of Texas is playing host tomorrow night to none other than the great Emerson Drive (truly one of the best Country Pop acts of our day).

Boot camp is this coming week- I am going to be there for the first night. Whoopee!

Go visit Mulltrain’s Blog to keep up with her stay in Rome.

Harmony Hill Pics.

I can’t believe that has been a month and a half since I last posted.

So many things have happened since then, I think one of the most important things that has happened was my hiring by SMA Architects as an intern for the rest of the summer. I get to start that job on Monday woo hoo.

Harmony Hill ended today, I believe that it was a great year. They often are great but somehow they are all different. Now that it has ended I am sad and in a kind of shock. I also missed those who couldn’t make it this year. The Kitchens family, Andrew, the Rogers boys (I’m sure there are more that I can’t think of now)

I took as many pictures as I could – here are some:

Something Very Exciting!!!

I just saw this pop up on Challies and it has got to be one of the most exciting things I have seen in a long time –

Together For The Gospel Statement

I would love to see what other people have to say about it and if anyone knows why it makes me excited. I will post later but I just want to see other peoples take first.

Utopia

I wrote this a few weeks ago- it concerns my class “Urban Theory” if you want to know more, I give you the finest advice of MAMA — “Look it up!”

The concept of Urbanization is about making living conditions better. The fundamental problem when solving broadreaching issues like reducing crime and making people happier you have to deal with the fact that man is corrupt. In admitting this, it must be allowed that the problem cannot be solved by making a better city or by secluding yourself from society. The problem is personal and spiritual.

I could also present the example of the search for utopia all through the middle ages and the renaissance as an example of a failure of this quest of Urbanism– we could go on all night. The point is, man is still looking for utopia, he didn’t find it then and he won’t find it now — at least not with the methods he currently employs.
