Yippie! On the bright side of things, I will actually get a whole week off of everything since I don’t actually have a job yet.

I can’t remember who said this, but its an amazingly good quote (despite the sappiness and over sentimental feeling).

“The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer someone else up.”

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments.  Love is not love,
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh, no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests.. and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love is not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out.. even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

I’m not one for improvisational prayer so they are always brief. However, today someone is in need of great prayers and great love, so I shall do my best. I ask you all to do the same.

I read one of the most amazing thing ever last night and this morning. For my english research paper I chose to write about atonement. I can’t put it into words what the realization was, but it was a great thing.

Danaher, James. “A Contemporary Perspective on
Atonement.” Irish Theological Quarterly 69.3 (2004): 281-294.

Ignore the MLA format… it was a copy paste from by bibliography. Its only 15 pages long and well worth reading.

“All I really want is you, for you to stick around, I’ll see you everyday…”

If ever I have been close to a heart attack in all my life, tonight has been the closest to it.

Life works itself out most of the time if you let it. By no means to I mean you should just sit back and wait for life to happen, but sometimes you have to take a step back to let God show you the next two.

So… interesting things going on upstairs lately. Been thinking about where I’m hoping my life’s compass points to or possibly just ignoring reason all together… Couple thoughts: 1.) I’m really not in love with corporate life, quite the contrary in fact. 2.) I’m not quite fond of consulting and being forced to travel to a new city once a month. As a result of these, I’m putting thought into other avenues… one being law (patent law to be precise). I think I may take a few pre-law classes here and get a general idea of what its like. In the meantime, I’m going to start working on my internship with AEP. Hopefully I can get into the Security Engineering group and work directly with the IDS/IPS, firewalls, and integrity teams. There’s an interesting guy there who does deep level packet inspection for fun… I think I’d like him.

I’ve been wall climbing 8 out of the past 12 days… I’m up to 5.10a or b.
