this is why people don't believe me

At Art Night last night (where I didn't actually do any art, in large part because I had a tiredness), I mentioned I love that after They Like to Never Quit Praisin' God: The Role of Celebration in Preaching, my next book is Preaching As Weeping, Confession, and Resistance: Radical Responses to Radical Evil. Julia said I've already done more reading than her preaching class (which had ZERO required reading). I started mentally drafting a preaching class in my head (influenced by the fact that in conversations about They Like to Never Quit Praisin' God, I've talked a lot about how it connects to what I have already learned about preaching). This is why people don't believe me when I say I don't want to go to grad school/into academia.

J. said something about how I wouldn't go to ANTS because I've heard too much about it. I said if I were to go anywhere it would be to EDS, and practically in unison, the room responded: "They still exist? (Aren't they down to like 10 students?)"

(Relatedly, the Satan class J. is taking includes Sandman: Season of Mists.)
