Whenever I want to write a blog, I usually want to give an update, which for me usually means telling you about the homework that lays ahead.

What is with that, why is homework, school, what I tell you about.

Why not my friendships, or my church, or Chapel, and what I am learning and/or what God is teaching me.

Like check this one out: This week we had Becky Fisher,(pictured above) the director of the camp of Jesus Camp, the movie, as a Chapel speaker this week, it got us all talking, so we had to see Jesus Camp to see what it was all about.

She seemed fairly reasonable in Chapel, maybe a little too focused on Speaking in Tongues, and the gifts of the Spirit in general, but at least she was preaching that we should reach out to kids, something I really truly believe.

Anyways, that was Thursday at Chapel...Friday night we watched "Jesus Camp," knowing full well that it was coming from a "secular" political standpoint, what I found was;
-They were building an Army to "take back America for God"
-They focused on Speaking in Tongues
-Everything this film showed was about "you, (as in the Children) doing this and you need to do that" I kept commenting, "what about Jesus changing us"
-the children were really "seeking the Lord"
-I'm not sure if they understood what they were doing, but it is possible
-Becky and many of the staff love love love President Bush
-Ted Hagart (however you spell that) is frightening to look at, He just has weird facial expressions
-the kids that the movie followed knew their stuff and seemed to really know God for themselves, but I can't accurately judge, seeing as I am not God.

Despite the view the movie took, I hope that not every service is so political.

I do know that God can work despite us.

Time of choice. I guess it is the cool thing to do at the end of your Sophomore year of college, change schools, take a break, complain about your school profusely. I understand, our school has a ton of extra rules, but we did sign the paper saying that was okay with us.

Anyways, I want to report, I am looking forward to next year and do not plan on changing schools. I will start the Formal Elementary Education Program in the Fall and can't wait to get involved in actually teaching in an actual classroom.

In the mean time I have much homework to do. I also plan on taking three courses on-line over the summer. Not to mention I will be involved in some way in P. T.'s wedding. I guess, I'm just thinking about the not so distant future.

Oh, I got 18 books for $4.82 at the Central Library, I'm pretty excited!

Can't wait to get home, but don't want to leave the cities.

Control S

Yesterday I took a test in my General Teaching Methods class. Most of it was multiple choice, but the last section was essay. I finished writing most of my essays when I decided to proofread what I had written. I tried to hit ctrl s in my mind and got flustered for a split second. When I realized what I was thinking I began to giggle in the middle of the silent test taking class.

I think I have done way too many things in Microsoft over the last two months.

SNOW DAY!

Today, after chapel all classes were canceled!
Yeah!
Great for Morale!
