"Excerpts from a Cat's Diary"
Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now...

Why?! OH WHY?!!!
Why does it feel so strange for someone to:
- Be who they say they are?
- Do what they say they are going to do?
- REALLY LOVE YOU?
Why does it make you want to run away when someone makes you feel so good?
I wish I could say that I have never run away because something was too good
Father, please help me to understand that I don't have to deserve your love to receive it. Please help me to understand that YOUR DECISION to love me is what makes me "worthy." It is your love and you can give it to whoever you want!!! Help me to stand there and press through my own discomfort in being loved so powerfully and lavishly. Your love will never leave me, so I don't have to fear that it will be taken away from me if I get "too comfortable!" Learning to live in your love will take me to greater levels of walking in the freedom that is ALREADY MINE in you! Help me, LORD!

This is a PARTICULAR brand of sillyness
I'm sorry... This never fails to crack me up. I saw this in the theater with Butta and I was laughing so hard during this scene that was kicking the seat in front of me, saying "Stop! I can't breathe!"

A most ATYPICAL survey
This is definitely a DIFFERENT kind of survey! It seems rather melancholy, though. I am having a great time with the LORD right now. Things are not easy, but I'm not "down" at all. God is awesome and I'm enjoying the process! That said, here's the survey:
1) Something you wish your mother or father had warned you about:
Neither of them had the wisdom to share, unfortunately
2) Something that's holding you back from achieving your dreams:
Nothing, I am on my way
3) Something you think you could win an award for:
Singing (I have)
4) Something you fear more than anything:
I don't know... I have a reverential fear of God. But the idea of going through a divorce makes my stomach turn.
5) Something you wish people would understand:
Jesus is who He says He is, no matter what "church people" do
6) Something that keeps you going everyday:
Jesus Christ
7) Something amazing that happened last summer:
WOW! Last summer was not a fun time. I did learn that I really enjoyed teaching.
8) Something you hate that people say:
"I'm sorry, but..." --> If you have the "but" in there, you aren't really apologizing. You are justifying what you did. It's a waste of breath. It is insincere.
9) Something you refuse to pay money for:
an imitation of something else
10) Something you wish you could have told that person that you never saw again:
The Gospel
11) Something that really stands out about last year:
2 things stand out:
how much God did in my heart and
Finding out how awesome she is!
12) Something you like that everyone else thinks is weird:
I really enjoy the little "imperfections" in the people that I love.
13) Something that makes you laugh every time it happens:
It doesn't take that much to make me laugh, seriously!
14) Something that makes the problems in your life not seem so bad:
Heaven's Mentality (not the CD, the mindset)
15) Something you listen to when you're in a really good mood:
I have a WIDE variety of music that falls into that category
16) Something you do when you're trying to calm down:
Worship the LORD
17) Something you do when you wake up at three AM:
I'm actually up at 3AM more often than not, but... I pray. I read the Bible. I check my email and MySpace.
18) Something you love doing on cold rainy days:
chilling with friends
19) Something amazing that's happened this year:
God has been working me on receiving His love, to another level.
20)Something that you always run into/trip over:
Nothing. I very rarely trip
21) Something that irritates you more than anything:
Religious people who stand on tradition more than what is in the Bible and give no regard to the voice of the LORD
22) Something you're addicted to/can't stop doing:
love
23) Something you had to give up but didn't want to:
her
24) Something that really stands out about you:
I asked someone about this, "that I am gentle natured" - I am told.
25) Something about you that's like everyone else:
I was miserable and wretched when compared with the standard of the 10 Commandments
26) Something that really stands out about that Certain Person:
She is tremendous... you could end up reading all night.
Here are a few things:
She's preternaturally pulchritudinous
She has a heart that amazes me every time I catch another glimpse into it
She was willing to nag me, about something I should be doing on, our first date (which was EXTREMELY attractive to me)
She is very valued by everyone that knows her (at least from what I have seen).
She's very honest and open (but with increasing depth) and quick to acknowledge weakness in herself
27) Something that you say a lot that others have picked up on:
there are a few:
"It's not that serious."
"jahnke"
Dag, there ARE more, I just can't think of them right now.

being religious, or fake
31) Something you wish you could change about your life:
I believe everything worked out for the best (so far). I believe all that I dislike at the present moment will be worked out for my good! I believe this because I know God. I love Him and I have been called according to His purpose!
32) Something you think about every night before you go to sleep:
I go to bed praying, and specifically praying for her again and asking how I can more faithfully walk through tomorrow than I walked through today.
33) Something that you don't think will ever change about you:
My love and passion for the LORD and others, especially those that I believe He has called me to.
34) Something about you that you think will soon change:
A lot --> Almost every area of my life is set up to be exponentially better very soon.
35) Something that broke your heart as a child:
When I was 6 my mother told me that she hadn't wanted me since I was 5 and I didn't "really" meet my father until I was 16 and he didn't want me either. He just lied about it.
36) Something that really sparks your interest:
The Human Body
37) Something that truly disgusts you:
religious people
38) Something you wish that Certain Person would see in you:
A man that she could fall in love with... Her husband

Neither of them had the wisdom to share, unfortunately

Nothing, I am on my way

Chemistry and Physics
OK, so this quarter I am taking two accelerated Chemistry courses and a Physics course (I switched out of the accelerated version of Physics).
I don't know what to say. I feel like I should be studying more, but I also don't feel like I really need to. It is a weird feeling. The stuff we are going over in class makes sense to me, so I don't feel like I need to study as much as just reviewing the material (which doesn't take nearly as much time). However, I don't really trust how I am feeling about these classes right now. I had spent my entire college career dreading these courses... so much so that I may be a little paranoid about them. I understand, and I'm uneasy about that!
I think most of the problem is that I have no confidence in my natural ability in these general science courses. I am VERY confident about being able to roll through the actual doctorate courses, but these general science pre-requisites have me shaking a little bit. Having said that, here is the truth: God is in me, I am one spirit with the LORD (I Corinthians 6:17) and I have the mind of Christ (I Corinthians 2:16) and God is the "Wonderful Counselor" (Isaiah 9:6) and the Holy Spirit will teach me all things (John 14:26) and will teach me what to say when I am questioned (Luke 12:12). I have ALL confidence in God and His ability to enable me to understand and flow through school with good grades and understanding. I am so excited that God is going to allow me to be a doctor! I am looking at the goal (my doctorate in Chiropractic medicine) with anticipation, but I am not despising the process. I think school is going to be a lot of fun. A lot of work, but a lot of fun!
My goal is to get above a 3.0 this quarter and I am actually pretty confident about being able to do that!
AGAPE!!!
