Ok, folks, I'm back in black after a dramatic and unexpected suicide attempt by my laptop hard drive. Extended warranty to the rescue, with a new drive, but had given all of my old data up for dead (All my digital photos -everything.) A $10 adapter and a little tender loving care provided enough life support to rescue everything, though.

Now that a massive research paper is out of the way, my regular reading habits are resuming. Continuing the saga of Narnia in book three now (The Horse and His Boy) and have also started When God Writes Your Love Story, which I hope will make a good companion to Josh Harris' work. Only into chapter three so far, so the jury is still out. The Greek Way is on hold for now - I loaned it to my dad for the time being.

The future is being written. I can tell that almost everyday now is one of those big "fork in the road" kind of days. What will I do, or what will happen, that will alter the course of my life forever today? I say this because the people from the John 3:16 Mission called me yesterday about their publications assistant position. I want to have faith to accept God's way in everything, but truthfully I really want this job, mainly because it involves getting back into working for something more than myself. Is that a paradox? Wanting something to be given to me because it helps me be less self-centered? Hmm.

In any case, even with the prospect of a job like this, currently I still want to get out of Tulsa as soon as possible.

Oh, Sarah and David, how I want to come to your wedding next weekend. Not because I am crazy about weddings, but I want to be around you guys and the Alabama crew. I grew so much from those people.
