An interesting day...
Today was interesting, mostly good :) Spent the day with Steph and her family, and it was fun and relaxing...watched "A Few Good Men" and "Crimson Tide", for the first time, which was great. I have actually been doing homework today, for the first time this weekend...a shocker, I know :)
Trying to decide about the Bush Campaign position--which I want to do more than anything! :) But...there are a lot of things that must be considered before I just jump head-first into this job...please pray for me, as I have to make my decision soon...I have pretty much made up my mind, but still am not certain...
My professor for my Current Events class is the author of many books, and for this class he is having us read one of his own, a book called "Living Victims, Stolen Lives." (By Brad Stetson) In this work, he talks to the parents of murdered children, and the chapters are interviews, verbatim, from his time with those parents. His introduction was so eye-opening, and so angering...he presented many statistics about murder, many of which I did not know. For instance--did you know that by the time you are in high school you have witnessed an average of 40,000 murders through media? 40,000!! I highly recommend this book, as it has raised my awareness level a great deal, and I am so angered at these murderers, most of whom are still roaming the streets...feeling probably no remorse for the pain that they have caused countless family and friends of these poor victims...anyway...
Plans for Spring Break are in the works, and I am totally excited! I wish that it were closer, and not three months away...but I will be plenty busy in those three months! :) I am so excited about seeing Chicago, a great lake, and getting two states...oh yeah, and about seeing Mike and Larry!! (Of course I want to see them the most!! :)) So yeah...gives me something to look forward to!
This week will be crazy...tons of classes...way too many...I do still have the option of dropping one by Wednesday...but I think I can handle them. :) This week will not be nearly the social time that this weekend turned out to be. Sigh...back to being an undergraduate college student...
"Never tolerate, because of sympathy for yourself or for others, any practice that is not in keeping with a Holy God. Holiness means absolute purity of your walk before God, the words coming from your mouth, and every thought in your mind...Holiness is not simply what God gives me, but what God has given me that is being exhibited in my life." --Oswald Chambers (My Utmost for His Highest, Sept. 1)
