Flickr!

Well, now that I've started aquiring some pictures on my phone, I created a flickr account where various pictures are posted. Look for the picture banner on the side of my blog underneath my previous posts. (not the link that says flickr....look lower!) It's also right above "some interesting stuff."

I've been enjoying my break. Still working at the church a lot, but not nearly as much as last week. Tomorrow I'll probably be there the majority of the day cleaning and such for the "preview" on sunday. Yes, you heard it right, this Sunday will only be a preview of the room. Unfortunately, we did not get all the pieces/parts of the room all pulled together (mainly one big piece that we're still waiting to be deliverd...but what it is is classified information! haha) before our deadline so this week will be considered a "sneak preview" then the following week (atleast the SH) will be in New York for the ski trip and then everything will be done by the following week. Today I went and purchased my books for next semester...it was still pricey, but it was somehow nearly $200 less than my first semester. (which was an outrageous $500!!) Anytime I go into a place with books I am seriously like a little kid in a candy store....and it's even sadder that it was all textbooks. I guess I still just excited about the fact that I am required to read books that I actually look forward to reading for my classes. I put some the stuff I got up in my "interesting stuff" thing if you want to check them out.

Well, it is nearly 12:30 now and I must get going. I've committed with a group of people to read the entire bible....cover to cover....in 4 months and I have not completed the readings for today yet. That sounds bad. It sounds as if it feels like a chore...but it isn't. This is something that I want to do....and it's just that I haven't had the time yet today to sit down and start. I'm excited. I think sometimes, especially with taking Bible classes and all, it's really easy to fall into a trap allowing your academic studies to become your personal studies...so I'm reading....just reading. I'm not looking for something to write a paper on or searching for some incredible theological revelation. (not that that can't happen naturally of course) But I'm reading to read....to look at the Bible as a whole. To feel the same passions and emotions that the authors felt. And to experience God without the formulas and agendas of our own making.
