"…The Ground of our conviction that God is reliable in all of life is this: No matter what heart-wrenching perplexities we face, it is not as though the word of God has failed (Rom 9:6)." -The Justification of God

Im having a bit of trouble with my scheduling and Im stressing. It will probably work out, but school starts Monday! 19 credits...for real? Hopefully everything works that I will graduate in May, or I will be extremely disappointed. And hopefully I can find a job then too! I just finished up my summer classes, 4.0 baby! wooo.

So there is this book I read for a class and in the back were some questions. It looks like one of those questionnaires that we receive from friends from time to time, but the questions are more interesting and diverse, I think. I gave my answers already, but here are some from the people in my class...I thought they were interestingly diverse (sometimes sad) and if you want you can give yours:

'Dolg platezhom krasen'. Then perhaps the inverse is also true on occasion.

nah.

on a side note...I wish I could find some boots, but my calves are ridiculously large. I am probably going to a Tigers game tomorrow. I am marginally excited. This post is extremely ADD and I have nothing more I wish to say at this time, so I apologize to anyone (all two of you) who just wasted the minute of your life reading this.

त्वं मां भुजितुं शक्नोसि; न तु भंजितुम्

So, I want to get a tattoo. It is completely uncharactierisic of me, but I want to get the word hosanna written in Hebrew script on my wrist. I think it would be a great reminder for me of the hope I have, and how desperate we all are to need to be saved. Also, possibly a great conversation starter. Something that has great meaning, and will never change. I would show you what it will look like, but xanga doesnt support those characters :(

"As a culture and as a church we are not given to much serious reflection. The consequence is that we are often molded by popular notions, rather than permeated by biblical ones. And the church looks very much like the world." -Piper
