DENIED
I found this great internet filtering service called Integrity Online via 3Xchurch.com.  However after having Rachel install the password, the next day it has blocked all blog sites, yes all.  So blogging will become fewer and far between.  As I type this from Jacob’s apartment, he’s patiently waiting for me to log off so we can get busy with more important things like getting my arse handed to me at Counter Strike!  Later thugs.

I did not forget
today is “Haiku Friday”,
do I have enough?

Yes!  I made it through
the first of many haikus
only one to go.

I dedicate this
B: sorry to make you wait,
but I’ve been busy.

I “TECHNO”… (dudd dudd daaa) SATISFACTION
Okay, so the heading is a stretch but I’m tired.  Currently trying to learn Dreamweaver 8… actually trying to learn where to start.  Still coming along with Photoshop.  One day I hope to totally impress him, him, him, her, her, and him with my soon-to-be mad skills… but until that day they stand unimpressed *sigh*

Stupid allergies, I have missed two days of work already.  Could it that I am allergic to my cat?!?  How tragic.  Here’s to going back towork tomorrow.

TESTING TESTING
Woke up feeling pretty cruddy, bombed a lab test with a 75… but I may have saved 15% by switching to Geiko.  Sorry couldn’t resist.  If you would not mind, please be praying that I can find a job down in Toccoa.  I feel really weird moving down there.  Stories people who graduate TFC but never leave… the idea scares me *shudder*.  I think that’s why going to Korea right away seemed so appealing… heading overseas right away and working with kids who don’t follow Christ.  God humbled me mightily, showed me many areas He needs to work on.  Interesting thought:  if the job opened up should I apply to work at TFC in admissions or something.  My first inclination was to jump right at the chance but now I’m taking it more into prayer.  Now I’m considering, why would I want to work and be surrounded by people who already know Christ?  Its not my bag, baby.  I just wish I knew what it is.

CRAP!  Missed Haiku Friday again!?!?  Sorry to everyone who anxiously awaits for my haiku, I know I let you all down again.  First I give up Lost (voluntarily) but then can’t keep up with 24 (unvoluntarily) and now I’m missing Haiku Fridays   Ah well.  I came home from work last night after 8 good but long hours… pay day makes any day good.  What’s next?

I wish I could just mess around and learn how to do more with CS2, dreamweaver and create a nice-lookin’ skin for my site here but I have an exam on Monday plus pre-marital tomorrow.  Still looking for an apartment.  Makes me long for that wonderful day off I had at TCIS… ‘course that day off was mostly used to recover in order to make it til the weekend.   I loved those trips to Songtan.  2 1/2 hour bus ride to sort out all one’s thoughts… bliss.

Learn to value others.

IF ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE…
Rachel called last night, told me that she talked with some friends who know the couple who own the apartment and did not have good things to say.  “Malicious” and “nosey” were tossed around, that quickly put a dampener on our parade to say the least.  Sorry about getting everyone’s hopes up.  Soo we will continue our search for another place…

MISCHIEF MANAGED
Finally finished Harry Potter (for the 2nd time).  Man I cannot wait for the last book to come out next year.

NEW LIVING QUARTERS
Here are a couple pictures of the fully furnished apartment Rachel and I are looking into… my sister came along and proudly poses for all to enjoy.

“I once drank a keg this big!”

This place is pretty sweet, two bedrooms, one bath… unless we comes across someplace better this will be our first home!  As Captain Picard always says, “Make it so.”

DIVINE DISECTION
After reading B’s post for the last two days, which I <i>highly</i> recommend, I felt I needed to get some stuff off my chest as well. Its been awhile since I shared what God is doing in my life and I am supposed to be a learner (if not, then I better change my header). As I have stated before leaving Korea was tough on me spiritually and emotionally. It left a bitter taste in my mouth concerning “ministry”. Reading books by Don Miller have gone along way to help recover and begin the slow healing process.

God is such a mystery to me, things happen for which I do not know why. One of the worst things about being stuck in the “Christian bubble” is picking up the pat answers to all life’s questions. I could debate on why evil exists but try telling that to a mother who lost her child… pat answers are nothing. Rachel and I were discussing some of this on the phone today, mostly our lack of trust. Its hard not to become cynical about American Christianity with all the cute bumperstickers like “I believe in God”, I doubt they have ever had a knife held to their throat and ordered to renounce the “false imperialist religion of the West”. However, that is not what I am struggling with (so if you have one of said bumperstickers, I don’t think much less of you).

I need to learn more about God’s methods of closing doors. We opened up about how we hesitate giving our thoughts/dreams to God in fear of them getting shot down

Is God spank-happy? He is a mystery. That’s why we have his Word…. well sometimes that is a mystery as well. I’m getting an icecream headache trying to think all this through… mmm… rocky road. Back to studying for an exam on Monday. Muscular systems are fun.

Ah!  Its Saturday!!!  I cannot believe I missed “Haiku Friday” oh well, here’s to waiting for next Friday.  I started a myspace account for the simple reason of connecting with old friends but I do not enjoy visiting my site.  I was embarrassed to show Rachel because of the porno ads placed right next to my picture, and by porno its a on-line dating website with girls wearing hardly anything.  Bad habit.  I just posted a comment to Tom asking him about all the child molesters using myspace to find victims… I wonder if he will post it?

[EDIT:  Great, now I'm getting spam delivered to myspace comments... *sigh* why doesn't everyone just join xanga and make my life easier?]

I am getting so tired of school.  I would love just to work and make money before moving to Toccoa but Rachel reminds me that I’m looking just to the immediate future rather than looking down the road.  So I trudge on trying to keep my grades from drowning (below “C” average har har har).  The worst part is that this class is in two parts which both have to be taken at Greenville.  So guess who’s going to drive up to Greenville 3 times a week this summer for summer school?  Yep, me.  *sigh*
