all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

28 days later...

Kathleen and I have started a family. Room 314 is now home to two quite energetic goldfish, Ludwig and Dmitri. Pictures will certainly follow if my computer ever gets fixed. Yes, friends, I am responsible for lives. It has been TWO WHOLE DAYS and no one has died!!!

Speaking of not dying, my jury is indeed over. It wasn't the most graceful thing I've ever done, but at least nothing ex/imploded that I'm aware of. The past two days have been wonnnderful. I haven't done any homework, cough, but I have been practicing like a complete spazz and it has been fantastic.

I am trying to gather up my nerve and fill out scholarship applications. It bothers me that almost all of them say under the qualifications that the recipient must "have strong Christian and moral character." What does that even mean? And how on earth can anyone judge that?? Do they all sit in a room and discuss who is the best Christian and therefore deserves the most money, or what? It's disturbing. Who actually has good character anyway? Isn't human depravity one of the Reformed church's biggest spiels? I would like to see someone whose character is good and Christian. If you ask me everyone pretty much has skewed motives. I know I do.

Thoughts?

I generally took that to mean "anyone at NWC that doesn't live in Heemstra (hehe) or openly smokes, drinks, or skips D groups." Seriously, though, it probably just means that you aren't known for being a partier or that you are not an asshole to people. Don't stress too much about it. Its possible to be completely frustrated with Christianity and still have a strong moral character.
LOVE!
