Coming to you from my iPod touch... whew thumbs are tired

A couple weeks or so ago I was speaking to a professor friend of mine who teaches English composition. She was expressing her disatisfaction for the two novels that had been assigned for comp 1. Reason being is that the college has required that no instructor (for not at all are worthy to be dubbed professors) should impose religious or political views onto the students via the clas or material; yet the two novels that have been assigned are blantantly christian and conservative in political terms. The books themselves are not the problem nor the issue. A book is a book. We do have freedom of spech right? But why so openly contradict what the school system demands of the instructors? A very blunt contradiction to say the least. Don't preach religion or political theology but then assign two books that spew both! It makes me wonder if they contradict themselves in this aspect it wouldn't be too far fetched to assume that they would do the same in other areas. Also, just as I would not a way of thinking or opinion completely opposite to mine shoved down my throat neither would I wish the same inflicted about my views onto another person. There is a difference between presenting dirfferent view points, ideas, opinions, and perspectives with out attacking any of them and delivering them in a way that makes the student feel inferior for thinking and/or feeling different. Many professors do NOT possess the first quality but rather the second. What are your thoughts my followers of 3?

Not Going on the Record

Having a hard time formulating words here. Would really like to unload but who would want to hear it all and some of the things I would like to say some people would prefer me NOT to say anyways. Its been an up and down and week and I would have to say I would rather a consistently bad week instead of this going from one extreme to another charade. It seems to give false hope. And the let down of something bad happening just makes it all the worse after something good has just happened. I know, I know I am talking in code, but I have to.

I am tired. Tired of demands from people, school, work, all of it; Tired of (as selfish as this sounds) none of my time being my own...it always belongs to someone else and then when I voluntarily give it to someone it comes back void. I know, I know one is not suppose to "expect anything out of people", "they will always let you down". But. It still hurts. Still discouraging.. Still disheartening. Tired of feeling like I am the only one fighting, running, struggling, and having the torturing thoughts that I am. Tired of stress, deadlines, bills, and things WAITING to be done. I am tired of wanting to always get though my week and/or weekends as quickly as possible, to get everything over with. Always looking for the next day, next week, next month. Never satisfied. Depressing aren't I?

Where do you draw the line between wanting to do everything you can and knowing when to say no? Where do you draw the line between wanting to fix everything and wanting to save/help everyone and letting God be God? Where do you draw the line? Or do they overlap?

I am a normally confident person, can easily make decisions, and rarely have a problem knowing what to do in a given situation. But at times I get to this place where I just don't know what to do, start questioning everything I have ever done because it all seems wrong...

have no fear my audience of two....I am not suicidal or anything just in desperate need of some chocolate, a vacation, and a refreshing Word from God and a phone call.

I Corinthians 15:57-58; The Message Remix

It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three-sin, guilt, and death-are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!

With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don't hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for Him is a waste of time or effort.

You Are A: Monkey!

Monkeys are intelligent and agile, well-adapted for jungle life as they swing happily from tree to tree. As a monkey, you are a social animal who prefers a warm climate, eats a wide range of food and is quick to learn new things. A monkey's tiny primate features are irresistable, as is her gregarious personality!

You were almost a: Pony or a Bear Cub
You are least like a: Groundhog or a ChipmunkDiscover What Cute Animal You Are!

Hebrews 3:7-12:19

So as the Holy Spirit SAYS (what has the Holy Spirit said to you lately?):
Today if you hear his voice do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me (this is God speaking) and for forty years SAW WHAT I DID. (In spite of the what they saw God do they still rebelled!) That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, "Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways." So I declared on oath in my anger, "They shall never enter my rest." (WHY? Because...) See to it brothers, that none of you has a (heres why) SINFUL, UNBELIEVING! HEART that turns away from the Living God.

So we see that they (children of Israel) were not able to enter, because of their UNBELIEF.
