hm. I found an old quote;

Gerlich: so, I have decided that we aren't going to do Reconstruction today.
Matt: Why?
Andrew: Because there was never any point in rebuilding the South.

There is nothing really to talk about...

...but I felt obligated because I haven't updated in a while.


I am in MS right now visiting my brother and his wife. It is pretty much amazing. You know, when we visited at Thanksgiving, I used to get really jealous when they got all cute and cuddly. You know, I was just really pinning away for my own guy. But now, when she sits on his lap and they kiss, or he comes up behind her in the kitchen while we're cooking, I just get this really big smile. I'm so happy for them, and I'm so happy that they love each other so much. It's so amazing to watch. It's also cool for me, becasue I feel like God has really grown me in this area.


I have also realized these past few days, how much I want a simple life style. Josh and Amanda own very little beyond their furniture and their books. I am going to clean out my room (again) when I get home. Especially since I am leaving for school, and I don't want to come home every year to a bunch of stuff.

other than that, to my friend who have already started at school--I hope you are having the time of your lives, and be aware that I am jealous I've been left behind! I'm praying for you to stay strong in the Lord. Walk with him always.

love,
sara

Is this excitement I feel?

Well, I finished work today. Yaya. (a note to all parents, if a child throws a tantrum, deal with it, and punish them accordingly)

Next week I am off to visiting family. First Mississippi, then Pennsylvannia, and Amish country! But more exciting... drum roll please

This is my first post to all of you from my brand new laptop!!!!! It's a pretty nice model, I mean, I assume it's a nice little computer. My dad and the sales guy were going really fast, in computer language. None of which I understand. When my dad asked me what I thought, I just smiled demurely and asked "Does it play music, get the internet, go fast, and let me write papers? Yes? Okay, I'm happy."

It has pretty blue lights. I know that makes me a blonde and very shallow, but hey. Blue is one of my favorite colours.

is there a way to say goodbye, computer-style?

ttyl,

I am having one of those days with nothing really to do. I worked in nursery this morning, so now I am going to Elevation. You know, God time, fellowship all that.

Okay, that is something to talk about. Does anyone else feel taht sometimes they just don't get anything out of a sermon? And I mean, for a long time. I haven't this whole summer. I know, I haven't been to church much lately, but the times I have gone, I have left feeling so empty, so... so unfed.

Is this a bad thing? I mean, is there something wrong with me? It's not that I am going through a desert or whatever people like to call it. Actually I have been reading like crazy in my quiet time and I feel a real desire to read and know more about God every day. But at the same time, I go to church I just can't seem to get anything out of it. I feel sometimes like we are learning, well I don't know. I guess in some ways I wish that we were just learning more about how to follow God deeply and passionately. What that looks like, and how we can better love God with our lives. I just feel I'm not getting that lately at church.

Who knows, maybe the change of a new church and college will be good for a while. I can't quite figure it all out. Though I am totally up for not understanding everything, I have come to find that as one of the beauties of following Christ. But still, this whole emptiness thing is getting weird.

ps, Roger, if I see you soon remind me to tell you about sharing Christ with my mormon friend. I figure you might want to hear the story after our chats about mormonism. it is pretty cool. i think.

S&S

The Office of Safety and Security is only hired muscle for a totalitarian institution. As proletariats gathered in a guerrilla group, we shall defeat the blueshirted puppets in the streets.
Join us, Comrade, and together we shall throw off the yoke of oppression.

"The people, united, shall never be defeated!"


Yes. I like my school already.
