| The amish school shooting that happened the other day broke my
heart. It makes me sick to see the depravity of the
world--especially senseless violence against innocent children.
I've been really moved reading about the aftermath of the shooting
though. The way that the amish families have dealt with pain and
supported one another (while praising God through it) is as
mind-boggling as it is beautiful. I read today that an amish
neighbor visited the family of the man who did the shooting. He
put his arms around Charlie's (the killer) father for an hour, and told
him, "We will forgive you." It's so sad, but at the same time,
beautiful to see God at work, and to understand a little better the
real meaning of forgiveness.

| i am so disgusted by politics and corruption in our country. i
hate even having to see headlines anymore, let alone listen to
mudslinging political commercials. what a mess we've made.

| well, this summer is finally coming to an end. it's been a really
disappointing one for me. a lot of the goals that i had to
improve friendships or make new ones weren't realized. work was
disappointing, and i feel more distant from a lot of people instead of
closer to them. it's been emotionally exhausting.
all is not lost though. while it has been disappointing seeing
some of my friends draw apart from each other and from me, i have
become a lot more close to a few friends, and most importantly, to
amy. on that same note, the fact that i'm ending the summer with
my wedding definitely makes things a lot brighter. we definitely
saved the best for last. i'm so pumped to be a husband, and i
love amy so much. it doesn't really feel real yet, but it's still
so sweet. it's just disappointing to see all of the damage that
has been done to some of my relationships (and even more so to other
people's) this summer. i'm glad my most important relationships
have been immune to gossip and other things that have done so much
damage elsewhere.
i'm so pumped for saturday. not only do i get a wife of my very
own, but a whole bunch of people are going to be there to celebrate it
with us. sweet.

| i'm really frustrated. amy and i are going to be moving our stuff into our apartment in kirksville on saturday. i was hoping to stay there while we are at school. unfortunately, i just got done working on getting all the utilities taken care of and it turns out the city won't let me get the water turned on over the phone. not only that, but after i go into city hall to tell them i need it, i have to wait another 3 days before they come and turn it on and they won't do that if i'm not at home. it's so stupid. what a backwards, idiotic little rule. needless to say, i'm disappointed and frustrated. i will be up in the ville this weekend though (probably through monday night or tuesday morning).
oh, and i got a 3200 check today for my medical study...no complaining there... | | |
