All my plans and purposes

"Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt, send me where Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever." A Prayer by Betty Scott Stam

Lord, help me to pray this prayer, then help me live it.

Remember

Remember Christ, remember Christ crucified.

T&K Criminal Investigators

Our trusty criminal investigators at work, collecting specimens of the bugs that are still rampaging our apartment. It got so bad that I flew to Phoenix and Eryn and Kris and all the dogs are staying with friends this week. That danged exterminator better get out here quick.

Bugs

Okay, so our house is infested. They are little brown bugs that fly around and get in your drink and your food and crawl all over you. They are literally everywhere. I feel like I'm living in Egypt during the plagues.

The exterminator is coming tomorrow. He better or I'm moving out.

Done

now I can focus on work.

God With Us

Who are we that You would be mindful of us
What do You see that's worth looking our way
We are free in ways that we never should be
Sweet release from the grip of these chains
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing.

All that is within me cries for You alone
Be glorified Emmanuel God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid
These chains are gone
Emmanuel God with us.

Lord You know our hearts don't deserve Your glory
Still You show a love we cannot afford
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing.

Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay it at your feet.

by Mercy Me

Almost done....

It's this stage of the semester where I feel really worn out and ready to be done. Here's what's left:

1. one more finance class on monday
2. final exam for b-law due wednesday
3. team assignment for finance due friday
4. quiz 7 for finance next monday

This semester has been the toughest semester yet - not because classes have been hard, but because school has been an afterthought, a nuisance, something I had to do but didn't want to do. It seemed every submitted project was half-baked, first draft, and my effort was the minimum required to get B-level work done. I'll be glad when the semester is done.

Here's to a better and brighter semester next year.
