| NO! I am not returning to XANGA. Just wanted
to share a little something something.
My SMS card is full. OUT OF MEMORY. So I
decided to clear out my text messages box.
I saved all the ones that are memorable. I will
list some that I think are universally funny:

Help me!! Stuck in a storage closet! :(
(Premise: I've been helping Dan quit smoking. For his
last pack, I gave him a weekly allowance of
1 Cig until it was all gone. For your information,
he's been off cigarrettes for a while. I hope.)

| In Christ Alone by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty
In Christ alone, my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song.
This cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand!
In Christ alone! who took on flesh, fullness of God in helpless babe!
This Gift of love and righteousness, scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on the cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied.
For every sin on Him was laid, here in the death of Christ I live!
There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day, up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on me.
For I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ!
No guilt in life nor fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me.
From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand.
Till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I stand!
just wanted to share this good hymn.

wow. xanga has changed so much in the last 2 months. don't worry guys. im still alive. first 3 weeks of school, i didn't have internet in my apartment yet. Life felt so good without a computer. Then I was online for about 3 days. Then, my hard drive crashes. I borrow my sister's computer, and then I fry hers also. I am contemplating reverting back to my olden days of the desktop. Thinking about building my own computer. hrmm.... Prayer requests: I have been suffering from laziness and idleness lately--which includes idleness from xanga ;). I've been taking a light load in courses this semester, so I've been really relaxed with work--so much so that when I get work, I still chill and sometimes don't even do it. I haven't felt the urgency to work since last semester. There are weeks when I go into my PHOTO class, and not have ANY photos to display. My professor says, "That's not good." And it ISN'T good! What's wrong with me? Oh yeah, I haven't been in the CIT that much these days. There just hasn't been the necessity to it seems? WOV is GREAT! Living in my apartment is GREAT! Having a car for two days is GREAT! I wonder if my mom will let me have a car during med school? :(
I've been really learning alot in Pastor Eric's Worship Seminars. They're GREAT. I've learned that I really don't know how to worship. I've learned how self-centered I am during worship when it should be god-centered. Pray that we will be able to worship in spirit AND in truth, in dialogue and in offering, objective in god's revelation and subjective in ... something else. Of course, this is possible only through our mediator, our lord and savior jesus christ. I really hope people attend a worship seminar of this kind. It seems so necessary. I had so many misconceptions and misunderstandings. I wanted everyone to go. I finally convinced my friend mike to go. I had to lick a plate of Miller's dinner leftovers mixed with his leftover dessert and half a shaker of salt. I don't know what it consisted of exactly. I just remember it being REALLY salty with a hint of strawberry. Then I got diarrhea. However, Mike and I will be attending the workshop Sunday mornings at 1030. Praise God! :)
Man, xanga has been so distant. I think I am on the verge of quitting xanga.... gosh i can write so much when I am on the verge... what's happening with everyone's xanga lives? man, im too lazy to check. and since i've missed like two months of everyone's lives--it seems overwhelming to read now.
can i really quit?
to be continued....?
