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!"

Just in case you want to support a brother!

I'm really focusing on school and on selling copies of my book to help offset the cost of said schooling SO, if you would like to support a brother, and read what is (in my opinion) a really good book. Go buy a copy or two... or 10

Since I am a first time author and not very well known, my book will probably not be on the shelves at your local bookstore.

HOWEVER, if you go to the customer service desk at your local bookstore, they CAN order one for you so that you wouldn't have to pay shipping.

IF YOU WANT TO GET IT ONLINE, you can do so at any of these websites:

A? Did you say A?

WOW!!!!

Considering I feel like I didn't understand A THING, I'm pretty darn happy! I got an A in Chemistry 111!!! And it happened without a tutor!

You can't tell me that God doesn't love me!!!!

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.

28) Something that makes you change the channel:
something I don't want to see

29) Something that really turns you on:
Godliness

30) Something that really turns you off:
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

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!!!

BREAKTHROUGH

Hallelujah!!!!

God has truly lifted me out of my emotions and allowed me to see some of the purpose for this season in my life!

I say "some" because I am sure that there is more going on than I can see, but He has shown me some of it and IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

The last three weeks (to the day, actually) have been EXTREMELY emotional, and VERY HARD!

HOWEVER, God has allowed me to process my emotions and, while I still feel the same way and I don't really see that changing, I am now THANKFUL for how I feel!!!! (what sicko is thankful for pain, huh? )

My emotions are indicators that are showing me how I need to pray and I have such clarity right now! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

God is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


God is SOOOOOO loving!!!!!!

I am SO thankful for what He is doing!!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Life University jokes... actually any med school nerd would tell one of these

****DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT THINK ANY OF THESE UP*****

1) Are you constitutive? Because you've been turning me on all day!..

2) I'll be telomerase, so we can make it last forever.

3) A biologist, chemist, and Natural Physics scientist went to see what's under the sea. After only one hour, the chemist came back and the other two were lost. The chemist wrote in the lab experiment book, "The biologist and physicist were soluble in sea water."

4) If I were an enzyme i'd be DNA helicase so i could unzip your genes.


Yep! Here at Life U we're pretty much nerds. And we're OK with our nerdyness. But most of us will be able to retire at 50 :)
