Bus: Chicago

posted by rgaffney

So I arrived in Chicago at about 8pm. The bus leaves for Madison at 6 am. For those of you who are bad at math that’s 8 hours I have to spend alone in downtown Chicago in the middle of the night.

 

I’ve been in Chi once before, on a cross country road trip with my dad, when I was 18. I can’t exactly say I “know the town” but that’s okay, I’m a city boy, this may not by my jungle but it’s a jungle all the same, and I can handle it.

 

First order of business is to get some real deep dish pizza.

 

Giordianos is highest rated on Zaget.com and only a couple blocks from here

 

Make sure you see the sears tower while you’re here, you wouldn’t want to miss it

 

…Of course it’s the tallest building in the states so to accomplish that you really just have to look up

 

 

Annnd then find a place to hole up for the night. Luckily that Express Bus was comfortable enough that I don’t need to sleep, that would be conspicuous. Still, should find someplace I can relax where I won’t stick out. Preferably somewhere with power and WiFi.

 

Luckily it’s not my first time being homeless for the night in an inner city. When this happened in LA I caught a Rail Line to Fuller Seminary and passed out in a lounge with my laptop open.

 

Say where’s University of Illinois?

 

This is just too easy!

Apologetics and its Miscategorization
Generally speaking, the church tolerates apologetics nerds like myself. They acknowledge us, and withhold comment except perhaps to say something like “maybe you could teach a class or something sometime” Sometime never comes. Believe it or not that’s a pretty good lot for us, comparatively.

Expel The Immoral Brother
I wrote earlier about profanity. I argued that the bible often finds profanity necessary to make it’s point. At the time I said that I wanted to make that point not just to defend profanity, but because there were other points that I felt were important to make, that rested on that point as a prem

Buddhist Fisherman
I am aware of some ministries that have become so focused on the the importance of evangelism that they talk about “The parable of the fishless fisherman”. I won’t link you said parable (as it’s copyrighted) but the gist is that just as a person who claims to be a fisherman but never catches
