Lazy Sunday

It's been a cold and wet day so I've stayed inside, besides church, snuggled in warm, soft stuff reading Eclipse and appreciating art on Flickr.

Today's sermon was really good. Kirk Youngblood was down this weekend from Colorado to visit Brother Archie over Thanksgiving and preached just to give Scottie a break. I can't imagine having to prepare a strong, Scriptural message at least once a week. Kirk preached on the miracle feeding of 5,000. It's recorded in all 4 gospels but he spoke out of Luke http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Luke+9&version=9">9:10-17 He emphasized that God will put before you tasks and ministries too big to do on your own. When that happens we should not be overwhelmed, afraid, and feel like failures but cast ourselves on His might and trust Him to do His work through us. God is not surprised or strained at any situation that arises. He already knows what He is going to do and is already bringing it to past. I think this has particular application to me in my job hunt.

I went and saw New Moon last week. I actually liked it a lot better than the book. Jacob is much more heart wrenching in the movie than he was in the book. And the soundtrack is going on my wish list.

Flickr is just way too much fun!

Dad called today. He sounded tired which is scary when it's the beginning of his day. I miss him so much but I at least have plenty of sleep and the rest of my family. He's tired and by himself. :(

"I hate losing time!"

as Ethan said as he was recovering from dental drugs. Right now I'm at school. I just finished the writing assignment for Campaigns class and I need to be working on my survey stuff, but I overestimated how much time the campaign writing assignment would take so I left the surveys at home. I do have plenty to do (extra credit writing assignment for Social Systems and Problems, two case studies for internship), but they're not as a high priority as the survey project.

I'm listening on youtube to various songs that will be on the Twilight soundtrack. Tremble for My Beloved is awesome as is the Linkin Park song (as they always are), and right now I'm trying not to fall asleep to the lullaby. I guess that means Burwell did a good job of writing it. It's not as full of longing and as sad as I had thought, but oh well.

I'm living for a week from today. The survey project, the Campaigns test, the election, and the practice GRE will all be over with! The good news is that the Policy test and two campaign writing assignments have all been finished. But in a week, I'll have just a little space to breathe, clean my desk, and think about something other than school: just briefly.
