whoever he is.

Sunday, October 20th, 2002

Thanks to Adena from DYL:

1. Is he living for God with all his heart, mind, soul, and strength?
2. Is he mission-minded? Does he have a burden or a calling?
3. Is he self-aware, analytical of his spirituality and is he always
trying to be a better person?
4. Is he a sensitive person? Does he think about others the same or
more than he thinks about himself?
5. Is he a thinker? Does he contemplate concepts, ideas, or new ways of
doing things?
6. Is he financially responsible, putting God, the church, and the
ministry first? In terms of money, does he think and plan for the future?
7. Is he honest, humble, and fun loving?
8. Is he a good communicator and a good listener?
9. Does he view marriage as a partnership on every level, yet recognize
his spiritual responsibility as a husband and a father and is he able to
take on that responsibility in the fear of God?

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. (Ps. 42:5)

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. (Lamentations 3:21-26)

My LEB class felt exceptionally long today. Eric and Hans were serenading me with oldies, Jennifer and I were discussing grad school, and Michael was doing his usual weird stuff. There is no telling what law cases we discussed today…I had too many other important things to do. hehe

Speaking of grad school…these articles were rather depressing and now I’m not even sure if I should pursue grad school now.

Last night was very ick. I was hurt, sad, and thinking evil plots. When you need to talk to a friend…it never fails that they aren’t home or too busy for you. I tried several different people…and they were either not home, out of town, or too busy to talk. Grrr…

I was pushing my way to aisle 6 in the FMA when I ran smack dab into a guy. That fact alone isn’t worth blogging about. However, the guy I ran into was David. Yes, that David. The guy I met online and then discovered he lived within 30 minutes of my house. What was freakier was discovering we went to the same university. Within a week we decided to meet at a little mexican restaurant in town. A live mariachi band was playing and the evening was quite fun. He was leaving for vacation the next week and then he said he would email me when he got back in town. I never heard from him. It’s been two months and the first time I’ve seen or heard from him was today when I plowed into him. For a moment, we both just looked at each other. Then I casually moved out of his way and kept going. Hmmph. Jerk.
