| So I've been donating my plasma lately, that is...selling it. I get 60 bucks a week. Anyway, I have time lots of time to read while doing that, so I've been relearning some Greek vocab and reading some books that have been neglected. This includes books that I didn't read for classes back in college. I've been reading According to Plan by Graeme Goldsworthy--it's an introductory study of Biblical Theology, which is one of my passions. Now, I don't quite get it when all that people blog is some poem or excerpt, but I came across something that exactly articulates what I want for my life and what I want to instill in others: "Now, part of being saved is learning to do theology correctly. I'm not suggesting that this take priority over all other aspects. I'm not saying that the intellectual side of salvation takes precedence. But it is important. I am saying that the way our minds are saved and renewed is by the Holy Spirit conforming our thinking about all things to the truth in Jesus. This is part of what it means to say, 'Jesus is Lord.' If we will obey him in the moral actions of our lives so that we actively combat God-denying, sinful actions, so shall we obey him in our thinking. We must combat thinking that does not conform to the truth revealed in Jesus." Truth is important; however, this does not leave out room for forgiveness, grace, and patience. That pretty much sums it up. | | |
| Hi everyone.
It's been a good year. It's hard to believe it's only been one year. I say that because it's really hard to think of what life was like before one year ago. I can't say it's been a difficult year, though not without some adjustment. This has been what I was made for: to live and love and to have those things be completely entwined with another person. I can't imagine life any other way, but at the same time can't imagine having thirty, forty...fifty more years of this, or however long the Lord wills it.
I'm humbled and so thankful that God has gifted me like this.
One year.

| We're having a party.
This Saturday, 6:30 (pm) until we're tired. And being that the residents of the home are old and married, that'll probably be around 9:00. But if you're exciting enough, maybe you can keep us up another few hours.
Bring anything or nothing that you want.
If you need directions, call or email.

| Oh yeah, I did one of those personality tests. I thought it was pretty good.
Crackpot - INTJ
16% Extraversion, 53% Intuition, 73% Thinking, 60% Judging
People hate you.
Paris Hilton hates Nicole Richie. Lex Luther hates Superman. Garfield hates Mondays.
But none these even rates against the insurmountable hate, people have for you.
I mean, you're pretty damn clever and you know it. You love to flaunt
your potential. Heard the word "arrogant" lately? How about "jerk?" Or
perhaps they only say that behind your back.
That's right. I know I can say this cause you're not going to cry.
You're not exactly the most emotional person. You'd rather spend time
with your theoretical questions and abstract theories than with other
people.
Ever been kissed? Ever even been on a date? Trust me, your inflated ego
is a complete turnoff with the opposite sex and I am telling you,
you're not that great with relationships as it is. You're never going
to be a dude or chick magnet, purely because you're more concerned with
yourself than others. Meh. They all hate you already anyway.
How about this- "stubborn?" Hrm? Heard that lately? All those facts
which don't fit your theories must just be wrong, right? I mean,
really, the vast amounts of time you spend with your head in the
clouds...you're just plain strange.

| Wow, I had no idea it has been almost two months since I posted last. These last weeks have flown by, in a drudgery sort of way. Working 10+ hours a day at a job that I hate. Actually, it's not the job itself that I dislike, but the people that I work with and for that I dislike. Oh well, there should be some change happening soon (I hope). For Thanksgiving, we took a four-day weekend to Iowa, then the weekend after that we went to South Dakota. Three weeks later was Christmas, and we spent a three day weekend going to Iowa then South Dakota. That was a 950 mile trip. Thankfully we didn't have to go anywhere for the New Year's weekend.
That basically has been what life has been lately: work, sleep, travel. It's been tiring. But enough complaining out of me.
Other news: having gotten a raise at my current job, I'm going to apply for a different position at Caribou. Not that I like Caribou so much that I want to do as many different things for the company as I can like some sort of whore. No. Instead I want to take the company over, milk it for all I can get out of it. I waited for a raise, because I think this job I'm getting will be considered a promotion, so the more I make with my current position will probably get me an even larger wage if I get this job. Maybe that doesn't make sense, but it makes me feel like I'm manipulating the system, and that feels good.
I'm still waiting to hear back on the OpServ job at NWC, but I'm not really getting my hopes up. They're ridiculous. I'd take anything they offered me, though, because I hope to start the MATS program this spring, and a discount would be great.
My brother moved to town last week. so that's been nice. It's been a long time since I've lived somewhere having family around.
Anyway, I'm sick of writing and sharing my thoughts.
