I miss playing softball a lot. Like a lot a lot. I don't know what about it. But I just do. And some times I think I could get back into it again. But no, a new era, of doing new things ( Read more... )

With one desire we come,
That you would reign
That you would reign in us.
We're offering up our lives
A living sacrifice
That you would reign
That you would reign in us.

We cry out for your love to refine us
For your love to define us
Cry out for your mercy to keep us blameless until you return.To be defined by your love. Keep me faithful, ( Read more... )

So I'm back from Spain, it was pretty amazing. We had a 6 hour layover in Paris. After getting off the plane following an 8 hour plane ride, it was something like 6am in the morning. We hopped onto a train to downtown Paris, stepped into the Notre Dame which was completely empty - now that was an experience to be had. Then pain au chocolat in a ( Read more... )

So, I've had a lot of half-written blog entries in my head, about everything from how I have come to really dislike airports to a random collection of thoughts about home. But they've all seemed rather half-baked. Everything seems rather half-baked actually. I've been here slight, only over a week and it feels like I didn't actually leave. Funny ( Read more... )

One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple.
Psalm 27:4

I'm ready to go I think. Which is a good thing. Except I hate packing.

The last couple of days have been incredibly draining. I'm tired and ready to go home. Though I know better than to think it will be all that I imagine it is and hope for. Going home is a strange strange thing to do, cos you kind of see home as this frozen in time image that starts moving again once you step off that plane. But it didn't freeze, ( Read more... )

What I hear in her voice is indifference, a lack of volition. Have they really done it to her then, taken away something - what? - that used to be so central to her? I don't want her to be like me. Give in, go along, save her skin. That is what it comes down to. I want gallantry from her, swashbuckling, heroism, single-handed combat. Something I ( Read more... )

So its Halloween night, which is a big deal here apparently. And as everyone is out rocking and rolling I've been holed up in my room having declined an invitation to party at china house and another to watch a movie in south hall. I guess I just really needed the down time tonight. It's been a long week, and I've been sick and it feels like I've ( Read more... )

I would like to sleep now. Very tired. But unfortunately I am a terrible procrastinator and what I should have been done with 2 hours ago is still undone. And it's only gonna take me half an hour. Conclusion: I need to be less moronic and stop inflicting this on myself. I have taken to doing the crossword and sudoku in the newspaper to destress. ( Read more... )
