Already halfway through the week. The weeks just fly when you are sick and trying to keep up with stuff. I have been almost responsible of late, which is weird. I worked ahead and finished a paper on Psalms-- I attempted to answer the question "Messiah: Is he God or is he Man?" according to the Psalms. I feel like I answered it, I guess Professor ( Read more... )

I have been taking Education classes all semester. Therefore, I am clearly ready to teach a class of 25 inner city eighth graders. I had my first opportunity to teach catechism this week on Tuesday. Let's just say things could have gone better situationally ( Read more... )

Today is a great day to be alive. Why? Because I don't have to work on the house I worked on last week. The house we finished Saturday was 25 feet tall at the bottom of the roof. It went up from there. It was steep. I survived. It had a pretty view of downtown Milwaukee though ( Read more... )

Dear diary, it’s been 23 weeks since my last entry- this just should not be. To start off, there are times when I’m definitely down, and I know I don’t hide it well, but that’s ok. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, and it’s not likely to change. However, when things are not good, or even when they are just “fine”, our God can really come through to ( Read more... )

"To the next step!" Said that annoying guy from American Pie. Well said, sir. Every new flight in the staircase that is life gives me a reason to pause and think things through. Perhaps this only makes sense in my own head- it's been a bit different this summer. Mooching off of my brother two thousand miles from anyplace I've ever considered home. ( Read more... )

It's been said that everyone likes a surprise, no one likes a shock. I found out today that a prospect whom I had visited over Spring Break passed away in a car accident. I spoke with this man for little over fifteen minutes. Did I say the right thing? I don't even know what this man believed ( Read more... )

Today I'm stressed, but it's ok. Actually, it's been the last two or three weeks of actual school with the only exception being Thanksgiving, which was great and I think necessary. I have to type 14-17 pages worth of papers by Tuesday, and my 9-page paper will be the second grade I've received so far in this history class. So the paper and ( Read more... )

Finally the weekend. Finally I can sit. Finally I can relax ( Read more... )

I decided quite a while ago that I no longer wished to complain about things which I cannot change. I am sure I have slipped up here and again, but at these times I've been content to call it cathartis. I'm taking up the attempt again, hearing some of my classmates complain about foolish things which cannot be changed. I listen to those who ( Read more... )

Sometimes I really agree with that saying, "Summer is lasting a long time." I can agree with it because it's true, this time. Let me tell you, living in New Ulm, I think, is one of the sillier things one can do, especially when one does not get paid well. I am going to try to get a different and better job when I get back from my vacation. I ( Read more... )
