//home for the holidays//




it feels really nice to be home.

currently i am sitting in my dad's recliner looking on as he lies on the floor wrestling with my dog.

i spent the better part of today making christmas candy with the mom, and I even got to spend some time reading a good book.

life works at the moment.

..::all things know::..


welp the semester is officially over. I came out with 3 A's and 1 A-. I'm kind of perturbed at the A-, but I don't want to be "that guy". So, I'll quietly back away from the asshole in me, and be happy about my grades.

on another note... things at work have been really hectic/annoying lately. Our annual Christmas worship service, "Carols and Candles", is this Thursday. All the planning and changing of plans has been rather exhausting. Plus I really don't enjoy decorating.

(the picture is of the stage in the sanctuary)

Also, we're finally getting a new chaplain at work. I think he is going to be a great fit for the work that we do at the Home, and it will be an incredible feeling to have someone who actually knows what they are doing in the office.

Lately, when I hang out with the students at work I feel completely inadequate. I make so many mistakes with them it seems. I'm finding it quite difficult to create a good boundary between being a friend and being an adult with them. Either extreme seems entirely unacceptable in my line of work. I would imagine it's all just a learning process.

I'm really just rambling now. I am thinking about making a photoblog, but I really don't know a good server to put it on, nor do I think I will post enough pictures on it to warrant my need of one.

peace.

the lyebarry.



i absolutely hate going to the library if i have to go.

i'm all about putting in the voluntary hours at that library. But when my presence there is a neccesity unwillingly placed upon my self; i'm not a pleasent person to be around.

when I was in undergrad my best friend, Bobby, and I would go to the library together to study. something about that made the whole experience seem worthwhile. we even had a good time sometimes, but that had nothing to do with the studying we were doing or the library.

it had everything to do with the fact that we would reward our studying by playing paper football.

i miss those days.

so anyways. i'm at the library right now trying to finish a take home final and wishing i had bobby here to play football with.

peace.

..:://spur.of.the.moment//::..



Last night i finished my last assignment for the semester, and I decided i would treat myself to something that I have been toying with the notion of purchasing.

So I went and bought a camera. As some of you may know. I like to dabble a little in the photo taking, so I splurged a little bit and bought this....

well, actually I charged most of it. But i had to because I was able to get a %12 percent discount by doing so.

so there. i have a credit card and I used it.

don't tell my mom. i'm really not in the mood for "that" conversation right now with finals coming in the next few days.

alright. well. I'm going to go now.

peace.

p.s. this post was inspired by the pattons who's blog has made me feel all kinds of inadequate. which I am sure this is their main reason for posting so often and working so diligently on its appearance... just to make me develop a complex.

"A God who cannot suffer is poorer than any human. For a God who is incapable of suffering is a being who cannot be involved. Suffering and injustice do not affect him. And because he is so completely insensitive, he cannot be affected or shaken by anything. He cannot weep, for he has no tears. But the one who cannot suffer cannot love either. So he is also a loveless being." ------ Jurgen Moltmann
