Loss of equilibrium
Jimmy "The Virgin Pimp" Rafetto came into my room five minutes ago with a book. He is supposed to read this book and review it for his Doctrine I class with Dr. Stewart. In typical Jimmy fashion, the review is due tomorrow and he is now on page 4. That doesn't bother me at all, because that's the kind of thing I do and get away with on a depressingly regular basis. No, the thing that's got me down is the fact that the book he's supposed to review for a doctrine class is Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness. Yeah. Right. Can you please stop the room? I'd like to get off now.
FWIW, Peretti makes fun of people who think he's talking about real life in his novels. It's allegory, he says.
Of course, does that make it better or worse for it to be read for a doctrine course?
