Sorry for the long silence. Life continues to be crazy, mainly because it is the beginning of the semester and I don't yet have my act together. Don't believe me? Ask any of my global trends students--they'll tell ya the truth, and it'll confirm my dismal self-opinion. Tonight at dinner, JB said that Tuesday's class was 'fun.' 'Fun? Global Trends isn't SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!'
Lots going on. Work. Friends to be with and pray for. Lectures/class time to write/plan. Large questions to answer. New housemate soon. Too much going on. I am weary, overwhelmed, and my soul is tired. Come on, cheer up, it's just the beginning of the semester.
I just have to get through tomorrow. Then I can schedule my time in such a way as to get things done and get some sleep. I love ya tomorrow.
Been groovin' to Jackson Browne:
And I'd have fought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue
If I'd know that's what you needed
What you needed me to do
But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow
If you ever need holding
Call my name, I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
from 'Sky Blue and Black'

No wonder the camel's back broke - the straw was in the middle of a big ol' bale! But, that wasn't God's camel. Pray that you'll honor him as a camel and he'll not break your back. And if he does, kiss the rod. Wasn't that deep?
How 'bout this:
(Two farmers leaning on a fence)
Jim:Ted, if you had $500, would you give me $250?
Ted: Jim, you know I would.
Jim: If you had $200, would you give me $100?
Ted: Yep, I sure would.
Jim: Ted, if you had two pigs...
Ted: Now hold on a minute, you KNOW I've got two pigs....
Ted is the Anti-Mike. Thanks for always giving us both pigs. We love you for it, and we ARE praying for you.
