Life on Strike

Graduation

I just submitted my application for graduation. Finally the end getting close. I have so many plans for my life after I graduate.

I have sacrificed too many things during school and now I'm going to get back to them full speed.

1. Increase my time in the ministry each month.
2. Hopefully, volunteer for the Circuit Assembly Hall Construction Project. (I'm submitting my application this weekend)
3. Increase my personal bible study program (i.e. read the yearbook and other recent publications).

I'll keep you posted.

The places in your heart

There are times in your life when you have to stop and take stock of your life and the people in your life. I have been fortunate enough to have gained a really good friend in the past year and last night, I really got to see the depth of that friendship.

I think that each person we meet fills a particular space in our hearts. When you have a lot in your life, your heart can be pretty full. My heart isn't completely full yet. I'm still waiting for the great love of my life. But there is a lot of love in my life.

These will make you cringe

American Popular Culture

I've been going over my notes for my American Popular Culture final on Monday. I've feel woefully unprepared for this final, mostly because we haven't had an exam in this class, so I'm not sure about his testing style. Also, my nose decided that it was going to sneeze all day to the point of giving me a massive headache. Who knows what that's all about.

I'm going to do some more reading. I have 5 textbooks to go through.

Pray for me.

The Golden Compass

Before you go see the "Golden Compass", make sure you do some research on the story line and themes. I've read some disturbing things about the movie and books. This seems like another case of an author promoting athestic or anti-religious themes and framing them in children's story to make it seem ok.

Some people say that it's good to have a story for "free thinking" children who don't believe in God. But my concern is for the children who do believe in God and who will be influenced negatively by this movie. Or worse yet, those children who are confused and need some positive guidance in learning about God.

How did I get here

I was driving home from class tonight and I had this strange feeling come over me. I don't remember how I got to be 34 years old. I remember when 34 seemed so old to me and now, here I am.

I feel like it's so important to spend each moment in a purposeful way. I don't want to look back at my life in 30 years and feel like my life has been for nothing. I'm at a pivotal stage in my life and I want it to have meaning and purpose. The next few months will see definite changes in my life. I want those changes to make a difference.

It could be just me

A friend of mine reminded me of a statement I made a couple of years ago. I said that asparagus is a vegatable of white people. I only said it because I've never seen it at any black person's house that I know. It was inappropriate, but in reality, I didn't know any black people who eat asparagus.

So for the past few years, she's been trying to convince me that I'm wrong by informally polling black people to see if they like asparagus. I'm going to say this once and only once:

I may have been mistaken about the asparagus thing. Perhaps I judged asparagus too hastily instead of giving it a chance. This doesn't mean I'm going to eat asparagus any time soon, but I won't speak against it either.
