Just Because....

This post has nothing to do with much of anything, except kill some time while waiting for my plane and recalling some funny memories from the past few years. They are not in chronological order. Enjoy!

My then-friend (now roommate) and I were out taking pictures for a photography class. A power company truck drove by, and the guy riding shotgun leaned out the window and yelled "CHEESE!" If only one of us had thought fast enough to whip around and take his picture....

My roommate freshman year and I decided to go running at the gym on Easter Sunday night. Well, the gym was closed (which we discovered only after walking over there in the pouring rain), so we ran through the halls, and then did the ultimate four minute workout found on YouTube (of which we could only do about two minutes of before our muscles gave out).

Cori had a head of lettuce left over from a dinner, and, being cheap college students, we went to Harp's to return it. The manager thought we were a little strange, and we gave an admissions counselor his laugh for the night. What a college student won't do for $1.50.

Flying back to school after last Christmas, the weather in the south was crazy. I was stuck in Tennessee for 9 hours, and then spent the night in the airport in Arkansas. One of the guys who was also waiting for the flight was an Air Force Captain headed back to the base. He and I and another lady we were sitting close to each other, and just randomly talked about random stuff. When we landed at our final destination, no taxis were running. He asked me if I needed a ride "back out to the base." I said no, I was headed to my aunt's house. He said "oh, but aren't you going back out there eventually?" My dreams had come true. Someone thought I was in the military. Score one for me.

Freshman year, a guy was holding the door for me at the caf. I stepped on his foot. Oops.

Then there was the pineapple. We were putting up a palm tree for Christmas hall decorations, and I said, "Oh, we should hang a pineapple from it." Everyone just looked at me for a few minutes, then laughed at me for the next hour. Pineapples don't grow upside down on trees, people. They grow upright in a bush. Let's just say that horticulture is not my strong suit.

To be continued at a later date.

The Still, Small Voice

Like any good human, I'm waiting for the earthquake that determines my next move in life. I'm waiting for the hurricane, or the volcano, or the atomic bomb. Something obvious that will tell me what to do. You're not being faithful in the little things. I was driving down the road on my way to work, whining to God about why I had to be doing this, why I couldn't move somewhere new, do something new, try something exciting. Then came the still small voice. You're not being faithful in the little things. And it was gone. It wasn't the flowery message we so often pass around of God has great things for you, just wait, it will come, it will be better than you could imagine... It was you're not being faithful . Ouch. Words never sting so much as when you know, no question, they're true. The time I waste. The half-hearted job I do on certain tasks. The avoiding of certain people. The fact I'm sitting here flipping between Facebook and ty...

Check Yo' Facts, People

The number of Christians spewing Rachel Scott's father's speech after Columbine all over Facebook and via email is unbelieveable. Sure, it applies to the Newton shooting, but guess what??! Contrary to popular opinion, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NEWTON SHOOTING. He made that speech after the Colombine shooting in 1999. (Link above takes you to the house.gov record of the speech) Christians, please check your facts before you present heresay as truth! I remember one time in high school everybody was passing around a chain email that said Mars was the closest to earth it would ever be, and to go look at the stars on a particular night to see it. Well, without checking our facts, we went with some friends to the observatory at the local university to view the sights. When we asked about Mars, the professor was like, "uhh, did you get an email?? Because Mars is as far away from earth as possible right now..." It pays to do your homework, people. Did we believe any of the ...

Maybe It's Not So Bad....

So apparently I don't learn my lessons very well. I was going back through my recent posts, and they were about thankfulness and giving God control of my life. This past week, I've been bombarded with small and medium sized things that require a reaction from me. And my reactions haven't been very good. Instead of looking for ways that God can use the situation, I've been complaining. A lot. Yesterday, when yet another thing had to be dealt with, I was reminded of Paul. Here I am, worried about how to fix my truck and if I can get all my homework done in time. There's Paul, rejoicing because he GETS to suffer for Christ. And he doesn't just have a lot of homework. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits...
