O GOD, who as at this time didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people, by sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit; Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quick’ning powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
Look how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.
In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
Dear Lord! and shall we ever live
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to Thee,
And Thine to us so great!
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quick’ning powers;
Come, shed abroad the Savior’s love
And that shall kindle ours.
-Issac Watts, 1707

(Red) Congrats to my (almost former) pastor on his graduation today.
(Blue) The ball is tonight! I'm so excited!
Sorry for not posting lately. I've been busy looking for a job and doing a little babysitting and trying to get my house in order for a new roomie to move in. On the job front, I've got a lot of good leads but nothing solid yet so maybe something will show up and be perfect. I'd really appreciate your prayers.
O GOD, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven; We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone before, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
I was told yesterday that my empolyment was being terminated. I was somewhat expecting it because of some things that had happened within the past six months (some security violations and an ethics violation all due to my carelessness and ignorance). So needless to say, I'm looking for a job now. Please think of me if you hear anything.
the whale eat two boats carrying potatoes?
Because nobody can just one potato ship! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ain't that funny? My friend Mellie told it to me. :)
It's so fun being me. I'm at the monkey....alone....with BJ's (some of you might remember him as the Angliterian) brand spanking new computer....with him not here. And it's awesome. Wireless internet @ the monkey helps a bit too. Hanging out with Greg and Melody is a nice surprise. I just wish....nevermind.

O ALMIGHTY God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men; Grant unto thy people, that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
I've been trying to figure out what was going on with my computer. Finally just got frustrated with it all and reached for the 3-disc Quick Restore to reformat my harddrive. The up-side of that: I have an "all new" computer. The bad part: NONE OF MY STUFF.
In other news, the new Citi cards Identity Theft Protection commercials crack me up.
Sorry for the horrible template job. My computer has been on the fritz for the past week or so and I haven't had a chance to get somewhere when I had the time to fix it, but I'm still here! Now I'm at Brad & Adrienne's to hang out for the evening, so I better get running. Have a good weekend!
