Waste of Time

Would you all like to hear my current definition of a colossal waste of time? How about a five page paper of phosphorus. Yeah, like the element.

In my four years of college I've never been so indignant over writing a paper. Truthfully I should feel blessed: Dusty is sitting beside me tap tap tapping away on the keyboard working on his journals for his social stratification class. 30 pages.

Or my too cool friend Andrea who has like a bajillion and one papers also due soon.

Or my also too cool friends Erika and Garrett who sit in their rooms and translate Greek sentences all day... right guys? ;)

But phosphorus?! Give me a break!

Street Beat

Today Dusty and two of his friends head to Louisville to find, meet, and spend the night with homeless people.

They really don't have an agenda or a plan at all; just threw some clothes in a backpack and piled in the car.

They're coming back tomorrow and I can't wait to hear their stories. Pray that they would be safe while they're out on the streets and that they could meet guys who need to be met. Check back in the next couple days for an update.

Spring CLEAN!

Today was my day. Today I did something that I haven't done in years. I spring cleaned.


Depsite the fact that there were snow flurries today I spring cleaned. Now, in my tiny apartment, after having been through 2 moves in the past year, you wouldn't think there would be much to do. OH! But there was!


At the end of the madness, I ended up hauling to Goodwill:

• one suitcase FULL of clothes
• two garbage bags FULL of clothes
• one garbage bag FULL of purses
• one box FULL of shoes
• one laundry basket FULL of books

My apartment feels like it's lost 50 lbs! Too bad that doesn't work for me... :) Happy Spring Cleaning everyone!

Easter

Your blood was the flood that devestated sin
Yeah you tore out all obstruction
And you poured your Spirit into me
You're inside me

Thank you, Jesus
Thank you, Jesus

(lyrics from a song we sang at church this morning, written by one of our congregation)

Today is the day we remember that you, oh Lord, are the only God who has walked among His people. And when we remember that you, oh Lord, are the only God that holds death at bay. So again we say thank you, Jesus.

A Word I Really Like

If you know me at all, you know that I am getting married in a little under two months. While the wedding plans are getting down to the nitty gritty (for instance, do I want the greenery to have white specks, or should it just be pure green?) there is one word that I have gotten caught up in today...

wife

...and that, my friends, makes it all worth it.

How To Rip Off Wal-Mart

A few nights ago I was making my daily Wal-Mart run (sidenote: why can I not remember to get everything on my list the first time?) when the cashier whose line I was in discovered she had been scammed! Here's what went down:

Earlier in the evening a man had come through the line and had bought about $45 worth of merchendise. He paid with a 5 dollar bill and then gave her $40 worth of dimes, already rolled.

She went to make change for the person in front of me and broke into the dime rolls, only to find that there was a dime on each end but on the inside there was only pennies!

Needless to say the considerate Wal-mart employees felt the need to start a full investigation right as I was up to check out. 20 minutes later, I was out of the store, new toothbrush in tow.
