creating gods in our image;
performing sacrifices and withholding the life blood;

The house is silent, its other occupants having gone to work or bed, and I’m here listening for the whir of the washing machine to cease.

Steve is leading a small group study at church called 12 Basic Christian Beliefs. In short, it is a condensed version of the monster book Systematic Theology, which is a condensed version of the mega-monster book (the title of which escapes me at the moment.)

I’m not dead, though I guess it’s been an entire semester since I’ve posted. School’s mostly just kept me too busy, and nothing really big has happened.
Hmm…something new…oh, yeah. Everybody’s Graduating! So..that’s not fun. *sigh* but life must go on.
Been looking at Christian colleges. I’d like to major in Church Ministry or something like. Currently [...]

Off I go to get my wisdom teeth out. Pray for me! I’m really not looking forward to it, but I figure I can get this over with, and then I don’t ever have to think about it again. Oh, and I left this Beauuuuuutiful picture (above) just for you guys, [...]

So, since no one has posted or commented lately, I decided the blog needed a new look. Actually, I just randomly decided I wanted to change it. Moving on, love it? Hate it?
