i've had a fairly busy week or two. last friday afternoon i made up a test that i didn't take due to sickness. in my apocalypses course, there was a quiz / test of thursday of last week... then an annotated bibliography due this past tuesday... and then a wiki assignement on a contemporary figure identified as "antichrist" (which can be seen in the previous post). this past monday i had a quiz in my Church History course. AND a test in my Modern Religious Thougt course. in kc and mine's business law course, we had a quiz on tuesday, and then a group assignment in class on thursday. additionally, i was up until 5:30 AM thursday night/ friday morning writing a paper on Luther for my Church History course (I only got around 1 1/2 hrs of sleep that night before I had to get for the class in which the paper was due. So... yeah. that's about everything.
and now I am working till 2AM on that hour and a half of sleep, and will soon be travelling w/ kacey back to st. louis for SPRING BREAK!!! w00t!!!
one thing... and I will blog about this another time... the piece from Luther i read is known as
On The Freedom of the Christian... or
The Freedom of the Christian Man I think. it really has to do with salvation being a result not of works but having to do only with faith with justifies. a portion that especially was meaningful to me, as well as Missy Bruce, my old roommate Stephen's wife (she is in the course with me) found meaningful. it describes the GREAT EXCHANGE as a husband and wife sharing everything... Christ takes his bride's sin as though it were his own, and adorns his bride with righteousness. it is AMAZING STUFF. God's grace is just... WOW.
I really like The Office... i mean, i love it. Colleen and Jannah are actually the ones who got me hooked. in fact i still remember the first full episode i ever saw: FUN RUN from season 4... LOVED IT!! (as does my mom, it is her favorite episode and was her first as well) It was always good for a laugh. Now however... it is more or less, with Season 5, a docu-dramedy as opposed to a comedy. do i still watch it? yes. but I don't get as many laughs, and i watch the show because i am invested in the characters i love. yet now... i dunno.
we'll see what happens with the next new episode....

sorry you've been sick. will keep you both in my prayers for safe travel.
sounds like you've been a busy young man. good, good.
the office..hahhaaa great show/great characters. i haven't seen it in a while though.
i once heard it said - not sure if it's true...that when adam ate the apple in the garden, he knowingly might have sinned b/c he did not want his bride to be left to the consequences of her sin all by herself. that he loved her so much that he didn't want her to be separated from God all alone. now, most likely this was out of rebellion b/c he didn't want to be alone, but perhaps he did it also for her sake, knowing how hard it would be for her to be separated from God all by herself without him to keep her company/encourage/support her (?). thus, it's quite possible that this was a foreshadowing (though still sinful act) of what Christ would do for His bride. (?) though, clearly what Christ did was the ultimate, blameless, perfect sacrifice.
