Christianity Music Vacation http://sincerestlaughter.blogdrive.com/archive/298.html Fri, 25 Jan 2008 05:06:10 GMT There is a certain student that attends my institution of higher learning who stands out. The reason for this is he has what I have come to call “Hot Japanese Hair.” I happen to know that this student is, in fact, a native of Japan, and his awesome, colorful, gravity-defying Mohawk-like do’ is something only a Japanese guy could pull off. I saw him quite often last semester and have seen him this semester as well. There appears to be a certain wall that will crumble if he does not support it, and so he sits there and I pass by on my way to class. Hot Japanese Hair can brighten any day, if but...

Hermeneutics directly afterwards was taught by an adorable old man and brings the promise of a 10-20 page paper. Ewww. After a special rehearsal tonight because our normal practice is canceled thanks to Rev. Martin Luther King, I will embark on a 4-day weekend. Today’s chapel was convocation, or, as I like to call it, conflagration. The different thing about today was that instead of wearing their caps with their gowns, they wore black Stetson...

While cold temperatures are not uncommon, we still freak out any time the thermometer dips below 60. Even though some people I know would call me a baby for saying so, its freaking cold today! Tonight there’s a freeze warning and all the news anchors are giving us tips on how to cope. Bundle up, bring tropical plants, pets and old people indoors. Yes, folks, you can’t leave Gramma outside tonight; she needs to be brought inside. Seriously, I think one news station did say something about keeping the elderly inside tonight. Compared to TX, yes, we are babies. But I’d rather be...

But yesterday in my OT class I did. I love my prof for that class and for the last 20 minutes or so Friday he just sort of preached to us. We had been talking about Abraham, and the prof pointed out that his willingness to sacrifice Isaac was so much more than just offering up his son. Everything that God had promised to Abram was wrapped up in Isaac. By asking for Isaac God was asking for everything He had told Abram He would do. I hadn't ever thought about it that way. But that wasn't the cool part :). I guess you know that I...

Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. http://sincerestlaughter.blogdrive.com/comments?id=294 http://sincerestlaughter.blogdrive.com/archive/293.html Mon, 17 Sep 2007 05:28:11 GMT A friend loaned me a Rich Mullins DVD so I could see the "Screen Door on a Submarine" bit with the cups. (remember the cup game girls?) This song was on it as well. I've heard it on the radio and loved it every time. I don;t usually post other people's stuff on my site but this song just seemed to echo my heartbeat where I am at in life right now. It's Rich Mullins' "Hold Me Jesus." Well, sometimes my life Just don't make sense at all When the mountains look so big And my faith just seems so small CHORUS: So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have been King of my...

So I went to the bistro that my friend is working at to see if they could hire me as a server. I'm going to start training tomorrow, so I guess we'll see. It just opened and there's only a couple of servers and its pretty small, but that should be ok. The only bad thing (besides acutally having to work and not being able to do whatever I want when I want) is that Swing Night is Tuesday nights and that's one of the only nights I...

The past few weekends have been fun, but now its as if I’m staring at the stretch and it goes on forever. I am not sure of decisions I have to make. I want a job because using my savings is stressing me out J. I feel like this is where I am supposed to be now, but I’m not sure about later. I don’t know if I am to stay here and study, or what I should study, or study elsewhere, or go home. I don’t want to give up because its hard, but I don’t want to force something if its not what God’s will is for me. I know what I want ultimately....

I am sure there will probably be wailing and gnashing of teeth when the first paper/test come due, but for now, I love it. Today’s lecture was about different views about how the Bible was inspired, and then implications of those views. There’s apparently something called that Chicago Statement of Inerrancy which I should take a look at, and have you ever heard of the “plenary umbrella.” I think they really like that word here; my large group session for chapel is called “plenary session.” I had never heard the word before I got here....

Its too bad they only meet once a week because its hard to decide if that’s the one for you from only Sunday School and the service. I feel like I have to throw myself into service and attendance with a church before I will know if that is the right one. My first Sunday I went to a “Cowboy church.” It was nice, but far away and not really what I was looking for in church setup (not to mention repeated too few praise choruses too many times) so I know I wouldn’t be back...
