*sigh*
It's september again. School's started. Unlike last Spring semester, where I had one class, was complaining about working and being a full time student, I now have two classes and am working while being a full time student. S'kinda neat. I should be finished w/ coursework in just a year, assuming I don't fail miserably. Master's research? I don't really think so.

Remember, remember
Romans 12:14-21
NetBible version:
14 Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited. 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God's wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 20 Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
And lest I forget... Judgement!
So where were we? Ah yes, genocide against the Amalekites. I see what you did there. What you are doing is changing the argument to suit your conclusion or not understanding what you are arguing against. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's probably the latter. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
Psalms 37
NetBible version
1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and truly you shall be fed.
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Oh and by the way...
I'm back. Have internet in my apartment since yesterday and have been (ab)using it ever since. It was a bit touch and go at first as me and the cable modem were feeling each other out. It eventually stopped dropping the connection when downloading @ > 500 Kb/s though, so we're all sorted now. After that I went out with my new friend to grab dinner, then went to see Hancock, which rocked. All in all a good weekend. Praise be to God.
In totally unrelated news I wonder if there are any good ways to stop downloading the porn. It's, er, for a friend of mine... yeah... a friend.
Dream a dream, part 2. End of Days?
I just had another dream again today. I remember it too. I woke up and it was nighttime. There was this foreboding feeling. I started walking, then running - i think. Next thing I know I'm running through a crowd of people. I get to where I'm going, or maybe I don't and then I look up into the sky. I notice that where the moon should be, there is something else instead. It looks like a cell, translucently covering the moon. I realize that despite all this it's bright out, as if the sun were shining.
Situation Normal AFU
Came back from church today and the world took a dump at my door. This shouldn't be surprising to me at all. It's just like the devil to throw adversity your way when your ready to do what God tells you. Knowing the old tricks I'm just going to ignore it and let God "take all my troubles and cares". He wants 'em, he can have 'em.
Dream a dream
I had another one of my dreams again. But this time it didn't end with me in hell. I just died, or felt like I was about to. And I was scared. Usually what terrifies me about these dreams isn't the fact that I'm dying, it's that I'm going to hell. That's progress at least, right?
