Reactions

Wednesday, July 31st, 2002

I have received several *interesting* reactions about my SoCal deferment. I’m even getting responses from Arizona!
Jenna Jordan thinks that I “should be a stripper” while I am in San Diego. I have a premonition that this East Coast Guy™ doesn’t stand a chance against the native “Cali hotties” but maybe being an import will help […]

Play to Win

I am officially deferring from Emerson College for one year. Anger, discouragement, prayer, and peace among other things preceded this decision.
Deferring for a year will allow me to reapply for the financial aid that I unexpectedly did not receive due to complications. While not deciding factors, I will also have more time to establish a […]

Risk the Dark to See the Light

On Friday, Ryan and I saw Minority Report. The movie is pure brilliance from the nail-biting plot to the parallels to reality to the visual effects.
I worked with one of two BRCC teams that helped Mark Lamb move his company’s shop from Amherst to Lynchburg yesterday. Whew! You truly had to be there in order […]

Only A Shadow

I must start this entry with a grateful THANK YOU to everyone who encouraged me this weekend. While I blindly conceded to deferring from Emerson for a year, an overwhelming number of acquaintances and friends are still dreaming (and more importantly, praying) for me.
In the journey of life, valleys are a natural occurrence. The first […]

For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us immeasurably great glory that will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be […]

Another day, another meat recall. Anyone want to become a Broccoli Boy and join the Lettuce Ladies?
Wrapping up Ryan’s week of no-parents, we ate at Sundae Grill and saw my very first Star Wars movie, Episode II. I thought it was a great movie, though Ryan said there was too much I would not understand […]

For the Moments I Feel Faint by Relient K

I try to excel, but I feel no movement… You’re telling me that there’s no hope. I’m telling you, you’re wrong. Never underestimate my Jesus. When the world around you crumbles, he will be strong.
I throw up my hands. ‘Oh, the impossibilities.’ Frustrated and tired, where do […]

Prayer

Thursday, July 18th, 2002

Heavenly Dad, I said some mean things about you today.
Despite what I feel, I know that your will is perfect; that the speed that I want to accomplish life at does not always match your will; that you give me the desires of my heart; that I am not excluded from 1 John 5:14-15.
I apologize […]
