My classes are all set. I guess. I'd really like to change the Lit II class to Lit I, but I'll keep trying. Perhaps one of the 26 people will drop the class. Perhaps.
I got a cell phone yesterday. One step closer, I 'spose.
I start work on Monday, 15 May. Ah, I can't wait to hear all those wonderful discussions like I did last year. Those always gave me something to write about. They did last year anyway. Hopefully I'll tag along more this year.
I've got to go to the church tomorrow and … do something? I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do just yet. We laid carpet yesterday and put an air vent in the nursery today (ok, I watched more). I'm technical.
Next week marks the last days of the Spring semester. One year of college is gone. It went by incredibly fast. I think this was just a breeze year. Next year just looks hard, maybe it won't be.
I went to the commissarry yesterday and helped pick out groceries. It's not too bad, because I get to pick what I like.
I found this really good quote tonight:
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket–safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. – C.S. Lewis
"Destruction is certain for those who say that evil is good and good is evil; that dark is light and light is dark…" – Isaiah 5:20 (NIV)
I added the last quote 'cause I like it. I heard it on the radio on Wednesday and really liked it. The sad part is this: if we're making evil moral and moral evil, there's coming destruction because we're doing exactly what this verse says. Ah, we've got to get back to holiness. Psalm 93:5 says, "your statutes stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days, O LORD." (NIV) We've got to "worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness" (Psalm 96:9 NIV). We've got to understand what Isaiah spoke:
And a main road will go through that once deserted land. It will be named the Highway of Holiness. Evil-hearted people will never travel on it. It will be only for those who walk in God's ways; fools will never walk there. Lions will not lurk along its course, and there will be no other dangers. Only the redeemed will follow it. – Isaiah 35:8-9 (NLT, emphasis added)
We've got to get on that Highway of Holiness. All other ways are traveled in vain. This doesn't mean that roads already traveled that are void of God are sometimes used by God for something good though …
