Pinch me.

The older I have gotten, the more I have wondered if I will ever be done with school and free to start "real life." I am soooooo tired of being a student and just about to the point that I don't want to learn anything else. ever.

But, Sunday, as I sat in church thinking back over my Sunday school lesson, I realized I am living my dream! We had talked about Paul's exclamation in Philippians 1 that "For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." I can pretty honestly say I am at a place in life where this is true for me. Even when the specifics of life are annoying or boring, the whole of life is an exciting pursuit of Christ in me, the hope of glory!

As a child, I looked up to adults who somehow managed to maintain a genuine faith and zeal for the Christ-life. There weren't many of them, but I dreamt of becoming one of the few. Now, I am an adult. Although I'm still in school, still not living "real life," still don't have a "real job," I am living my dream. I am living for Jesus, and He is living for me. I couldn't dream of anything more.

Signal

this >1/4 page ad is in the gsu signal (college newspaper). as a graduate of gsu's mpa program and current student and employee of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at gsu, I'm not sure what to think of this.

Granny's secret...

my watch cat

yesterday, this was my view of my balcony before I got out of my car from school. dori often stands outside waiting for me, and he meows at me while I check the mail and walk up the stairs to the apartment. I love how much he loves me. he's such a good cat.
