I got back from a council meeting ... I get a call at around 8:30 telling me that I'm supposed to be at a council meeting. (I forgot to go.) Then they start asking me for input on these different topics, but it was very troublesome so they asked me just to go to the meeting. The meeting started at 7, but I didn't get there until 9:15 ... we went until 11! Oh well, I like council meetings. They are FUN! =)

Ben had a hilarious suggestion for our senior banquet. He thought that a good theme would be Noah's ark. Then a guy and his date could come in "two-by-two" and dress up like male/female giraffes or male/female elephants etc ... i laughed SO HARD! :-)

Okay, it's been a long while since i've posted ... my blogpage wasn't working for the longest time ...

3 down, 1 to go
Well, I finished my three finals this week ... they were ... errrr ... INTERESTING ... let's see, i almsot took the wrong final, i got a death threat on my cell phone, i had to walk in the pouring rain to two finals, i soaked my shoes and socks in a HUGEmongous puddle, i got splashed by mud when a car drove by and kicked up a mud ball .... hmmmm ... oh yeah, and then there were the finals ... ummm ... well, i'm glad they're over ... praise God!

More Reflections on the First Semester
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, growth is a process. I've really come to learn that this year. Sometimes growth is a painstakingly slow process, but you have to just keep at it. This year I've wanted to grow in so many areas, and I was frustrated when I wasn't changing as quickly as I would have liked. Hopefully, though, I've grown a lot over this past semester.

I've also learned the value of meeting people in classes. I think too often I shyed away from trying to meet people, but it is nice being able to talk to people in your class (however much michael and stephen tell you otherwise.)

I've learned that there are a good number of EXCELLENT cartoon shows out there. AWESOME!

"God's love never ceases. Never. Though we spurn him. Ignore him. Reject him. Despise him. Disobey him. He will not change. OUr evil cannot diminish his love. Our goodness cannot increase it. Our faith does not earn it anymore than our stupidity jeopardizes it. God doesn't love us less if we fail or more if we succeed. God's love never ceases." (from Max Lucado's Just Like Jesus)

Ho-hum, ho-hum. I have a paper to write and three finals in two days. Ho-hum, ho-hum. YAY YAY YAY! (starting to feel the stress now ...)

I choose patience.
I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I'll invite him to do so. Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for amoment to pray. Instead of clinching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.

I choose kindness.
I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

I choose goodness.
I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse. I choose goodness.

I choose faithfulness.
Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my children will never fear that their father will not come home.

I choose gentleness.
Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

I choose self-control.
I am a spiritual being. After this body is dead, my spirit will soar. I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal. I choose self-control. I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by my faith. I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ. I choose self-control.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.
