Aniversaries (?) and blogging defficiency
I like celebrating. Really anything except my birthday. Lots of people really enjoy birthdays. I don't. Birthdays remind me of all the stuff I didn't do the previous year. I like other peoples' birthdays because that means someone else has to deal with the depression of getting older. Its now been a year since I moved from SC back to ARK. From USC back to Harding. It was a huge jump for me. You might call it a "throwdown." It was a good moved and inspired by an inumerable amount of factors. Inumerable is probably an exageration. When I made the move I wasn't sure about much, not even if I was going to stay in grad school. I met with some other department faculty to talk about their programs. I somehow found myself flipping coins to figure out what to do. I figure if the apostles can cast lots to decide for Mathias or the other guy (Joseph or was it Joseph Mathias ?) anyways I though I could flip coins to see what I should do. I finally realised that no matter what as long as I was trying to follow Jesus it would all work out. So for the first time I think I realized that maybe God's plan for me wasn't specific. He'd throwdown with whatever. I just have to "...be a hoe for Jesus" (-Dwight Smith). And for the first time in a long time, I felt peace about what was going on. And everything worked out. I got a great job working for Josh Brown, Allen Henderson, and Dr. Finley in the College of Ed. My schedule worked out, and I got the wonderful opportunity of living with Thomas Kinsley and Jeremy Stoneburner. Never saw any of that coming. Nor did I see what or where I would be a year later. Who'd of thought. I don't think I could have told you which two hemispheres American Samao was in a year ago. I did think that things were going to work out. And they did.
Anyways I've got some other aniverseries coming up. Unlike my un-computer savy brothers with their getto crunch o' meters I've got something a little cooler. I hope it works. So enjoy the new meter, unless you get tired of it...
