So, today I woke and decided that today I will boycott school.
Okay, maybe that is a lie. However, I decided to come up to the J&B to sit, read, and listen to music and not touch my school work for quite some time. This week I need to study for my Contemporary Family Exam and my Eating Disorders Exam. I feel very comfortable with the tests however, my ED teacher decided to bombard us with a MAJOR project that is due within three weeks.
I will boycott school.
I'm very excited/nervous about this weekend. I will be getting my certification for "Wilderness First Aid" I will learn how to stabilize someones spine, evacuate a patient from the outdoors, know how to splint/stabilize broken bones, etc. It will be really exciting to know how to do all of these.
Last week I started to paint my house and plant flowers. However, I'm very short and was unable to finish the top of my house! Then, Friday it snowed and killed all of my flowers that I bought and planted. Also, we discovered that our toilet is about to fall through the floor! And our water heater is broken.
So, I decided to bribe Andrew to come paint the top windows on my house. Hopefully, this will improve the outside! I will post pictures as soon as I finish the work.
My goal is to help make-over this house this summer. And get rid of the name "crack house."
I started the book "The Shack" a few weeks ago but found myself unable to finish it because I didn't agree with some aspects of the book.
But, a few weeks ago I bought "Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper
intense.
I have not gotten very far but it's a very convicting book that really makes me question motives and goals and life in general. He is very blunt and often uncomfortable.
very uncomfortable.
I suppose I should read it before I encourage others to read it! So, I plan on spending a lot of time reading, thinking, and relaxing this week....even in the midst of chaos.
You should read "SexGod" by Rob Bell
It's Amazing.
Well, I suppose I will attempt to boycott school for about 30 more minutes.
So, I'm going to read.
"All heroes are shadows of Christ."

I am boycotting as I read this blog. I decided to skip my one class for the day.
ReplyDeleteI finished the Shack despite my disagreements with it. Here Come Da Judge is definitely worth reading. So is the conclusion. I could not stomach Don't Waste Your Life. I've tried twice now and I can't get past Piper's writing style. I hear his other books are better. SexGod - yes! Also, try Traveling Mercies by Anna Lamott. Her theology is admittedly very wishy-washy, but her writing is delightfully refreshing.
