| Hey all,
After a 5 1/2 years of xanga, it's time for a new blog.
Come visit me at here. | | |
| College has made me think. To think sometimes really random thoughts. And here is what all this studying and learning has made me wonder...
FIRE. We often think of fire as something terrible. A house is on fire. Meaning it is destructive and hurtful. Be careful of the fire. We don't want you to get burned. Fire can destroy so much, yet in small doses...fire provides so much for us. It provides warmth, means of cooking, and light...like for a candle. We spend so much work on trying to get a fire going, yet we always try to put it out. We need fire. And have you ever thought how.. we're supposed to be a "light" or a "candle" (meaning something with fire)...yet we don't want to go where there is fire.
NON-HUMAN DISNEY CHARACTERS. So, in my theatre class... we were discussing different characters in movies and such. and something that came up was the oddness of our animated characters. These non-human characters have non-human pets. For example, Wall-E has a cockroach. (which I don't understand why EVE doesn't catch the roach as being a "life.") Anyways... to make this more crazier. Mickey Mouse's pet is Pluto, a DOG!! Can you imagine? Mickey is a MOUSE! Pluto is a DOG! This goes against the natural order..when a dog chases the cat, who chases the mouse. Now, the mouse is in charge of the dog? How weird is that?
FACEBOOK. Facebook is probably the ultimate distraction and time-waster. Yet, it has helped me tremendously in remembering people's name. I tend to forget people's names when I meet them, but once they're my facebook friend...for the most part, I remember them. How sad. =(
Anyways....random thoughts to think about and I hope you are doing well! | | |
| "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
This past week has been the craziest week of my life. New experiences, new feelings, and just everything that's making me see the world as it is. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know what I am supposed to do. God has seriously made my first year of college a huge hurricane. Serving in new ways, loving in more ways, and becoming someone God wants me to be. God is sovereign and things will work out for His glory. And I will take joy in that. Cause in this brokenness, Christ can be seen so much more clearly. And now, I do have peace.
Hope all is well with you! =) | | |
| So I was at work today and this table for some reason didn't have straws in their cups of water so they asked me to get them two straws. So I went, and got it for them. Then, I thought... wow, straws are an amazing invention. Who on earth would have thought that you could just suck things up in this round straight plastic thing? That way, you don't have to spill on yourself! And, you can reduce cavities! How cool is that? So, I decided to google and wikipedia it.
And this is what I found.
"The drinking straw is a hollow, short tube used for transferring a liquid - usually a drink from one location to another (such as from a cup, to one's mouth). The earliest drinking straws were hollow stems of grass, literally made of straw. A thin tube of plastic ther material is employed by being held with one end in the mouth and another end in the drink. Muscular action reduces air pressure in the mouth, whereupon atmospheric pressure forces the drink up the straw. The first straws were made by the Sumerians, and used for drinking beer. Argentines and their neighbors use a similar metallic device called bombilla that acts as both a straw and sieve for drinking mate tea. The modern drinking straw was patented in 1888 by Marvin C. Stone."
Anyways, I think straws are cool. They are absolutely amazing although I feel like it's such a waste to have them cause you throw them away after every drink. But then again, it's so nice to have a straw in your drink. | | |
