Some updates

because I am scatterbrained and forget sometimes:

1. Mom situation dissipated. I'm not asking any questions.
2. I've had a few offers for interviews, but I'm most interested in the ceramic studio one. Everything else just sounds so boring and soul-sucking...who wouldn't want a chance to create something every day? PLUS, I would technically be using my degree still. That's not something everyone can say ;)
3. I just finished reading Captivating by Stasi Eldredge and I'm a little over halfway through Wild at Heart by John Eldredge, and they're really both fantastic. They're written for women and men respectively, but it's highly suggested that you read both. They talk about how you were made in a specific way as a man or a woman in the image of God. During high school I always scoffed at the story of Adam and Eve as a completely sexist foundation of Christianity. Captivating took another look at it, pointing out that Eve was not merely made from Adam, but she was the crowning achievement of creation. Everything gets better and better until it reaches her, where it ends. Adam was not complete without her, even when it was just him and God, something was missing. The main part of the story, though, that is always cited is The Fall. Eve was tempted and fucked everything up in about 10 seconds. Well, it's right there in the Bible and it says that Adam was standing right there next to her and didn't do a damn thing. So it was really both of their faults. There's a ton more that both of the books go in to that's not all Bible-based. Most of the books focus on how there are different types of broken people that have strayed away from God and are trying to fill the void in different ways. I swear to you that these books will change your life, or at the very least keep you occupied for a couple of hours. But read them and find out for yourself.



4. I really hate the idea that some people are going to read #3 and think that I'm some doe-eyed, backwoods country bumpkin that just don't know any better and ain't all that enlightened like all them city folk.
