Random Thoughts of Chris

Since my brain is constantly turning and since there are times where I have nothing to think about, I decided to pursue thinking deep thoughts during those times. The perfect example of this is of course when I'm driving to work. Most of the below are the result of that few minute thought walk to and from class. There are a few, however, that have come from significant events in my life. Like Intervarsity's School Of Leadership Training for example. I think there are at least a few in here from that. So, With that said, enjoy.
