So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Thought we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:16-21
Maybe it sounds silly, but I don't think I ever got that before. I've heard the "new creation" verse a million times. It's a great one. But I never looked at it in context before. Well, I probably tried to but I just read over the surrounding verses really fast. How many times is a form of the word reconciliation used in this short passage? A ton! This passage is about how we treat other people! We're to treat them as new creatures in Christ, because that's what they are. We're not supposed to treat each other as we deserve, but we're supposed to be reconciled to each other just as Christ's death reconciled us to God. Amazing.

Wednesday, February 25, 2004
Well folks it's already Wednesday night and there's only two more days to go until the weekend. I had a lovely day off yesterday and was able to get a few things done. I had to go to Cal Poly Pomona to watch their Chamber Choir rehearsal. It's great when doing things like that actually constitutes getting work done. Later that night I went to a classical guitar concert here on campus. Amazing, and extremely relaxing. Unfortunately I was extremely tired yesterday, so all I wanted to do was fall asleep in my chair.
Speaking of falling asleep in my chair, that's all I wanted to do today too, though I'm feeling a bit more energetic right now. Let's hope it lasts through my science lab tonight. Today I kept seeing people with stuff on their forehead, and it took me ages to remember that today was Ash Wednesday. I really wish I'd realized that earlier and gone to a service. I haven't been to one for three years at least.
Phrase of the day, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Today our chapel speaker was long and drawn out, but she said that and it hit hard with me. I'm so stressed out lately. I need to take the yoke of Christ, not the yoke of slavery to school (ha!).
And one more time: IT'S RAINING AGAIN AND I'M SO EXCITED!

I figured I should put a service announcement up here. But first a small proclaimation.
IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO KEEP RAINING ALL WEEK!
This makes me very excited in case you couldn't tell. Now on to the service announcement. If you visited my guestbook the day before yesterday and the top entry was some html code which either showed up as a picture or a locked entry, you may have received a virus. Two days ago I was checking my guestbook, and all of a sudden a message popped up from my virus scan software that I had received two viruses. After countless hours of looking, scanning, and deleting temporary internet files, the only conclusion I have is that my software killed them when they tried to get in. But, if you don't have virus scan software on your computer and you visited either my or Mel's guestbook a couple days ago, you may have a couple trojans on your computer. Sorry if that affects anyone. And just so you know it's deleted off of our guestbooks, but I think I'm going to be cautious about viewing it straight away for a while!

As you can see I got the bold fixed. I thought I'd actually failed again because my browser went psycho as I tried to publish, but it ended up working to my surprise.
Look at what happens when I actually don't have a lot of stuff going on. All of a sudden updates happen more than twice a month. Amazing how that works. I'm enjoying the lower stress level, but in the back of my mind all the things (mainly assignments) that the future holds looks overwhelming. I'm trying to plan and keep track of things. And when that doesn't do any good, I try to not think about it for a while. Sometimes the second method is more successful.
Today we had "creative arts" chapel. No one really knows what that means. I think it ends up being a bit different every year. So this morning I went into it with few expectations. The general attitude was "this is probably going to be lame." And I've got to say it wasn't the best chapel I've ever been to, but God did speak to me through it, and that's all I asked. This morning I asked God if there would just be one thing that I would learn this morning, one thing I could take away and mull over. It didn't matter if it was a certain aspect of his character or something in my life or something I need to work on. I just wanted there to be something. It took a while, but at the end there finally was. Once again God reminded me of war. That sounds nice doesn't it. I was reminded to take up my sword and shield and put on the armor he has commanded me to clothe myself with.
I am so concerned with this world. Completely sucked up into it. Who cares? Is my homework really that important? Is my school life really that important? I mean, who really gives a damn in light of eternity what my grade in physical science was. That doesn't mean I'm not going to try, but the things of God sure as heck better be a higher priority than that. They're so entirely not. I think right now at best the things of God are about fifth on my list. I need God at the top of that. To have his perspective on life, reality, what's important. God doesn't need to be at the top of that list, He needs to consume that list. Everything on that list needs to be of him and for him and by him. Why? Because it's important in light ot eternity. The way I live now affects eternity. I forget that all the time. The way I wage (or don't wage) war has a real affect on reality. The way I pray (or don't pray) for others has an affect on the present and the future. Jesus help me prioritize. I need you.

Well, the tests are over and both of them went fine. So now that I have those things off my shoulders, I need to do a little "nothing." Which means I deemed in necessary to fill out the huge survey everyone's been doing lately. So here it is via Mel, via Kara, via Tara.
Instructions:

2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.
3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you. Take note, ALL 100 are about me, the bold ones I have in common with Mel. You bold what you have in common with me then make up new things about YOU for the rest.
Please add a comment if you do it so that I can come read it!
01. I?m not a big fan of Starbucks in general because I?m not a huge fan of espresso. Chai lattes are good.

08. I?ve never had glasses. But I think my eyesight is slowly deteriorating. Last time I went in for a physical I had to guess on the last few letters on the chart. Good thing I guessed right.

26. I consider myself very intuitive, but I think I?m often too afraid of being wrong to follow through on it, creating the image that I?m not intuitive. Or maybe I?m always wrong and I?m not intuitive at all. If I don?t try we?ll never know will we.

42. I live to make people laugh and smile.

46. Over the past couple of years I have really grown to love water.

57. I will never have curly hair, it?s too thick to hold anything.
58. I generally keep a cool head. I?m definitely the most even tempered out of all my roommates. I usually only freak out about stupid things, not things I should actually be concerned over.

60. I always know the location of my keys and purse except when I forget to put my keys back on the hook and keep them in my purse or backpack. That throws me off.

63. I overreact about things sometimes.

78. My bra and panties are never a matched set. Who's going to see them!

Ten days. That's way better than my previous lapse. Obviously, things have become a bit hectic. I had a great last two weekends. Hanging out with the whole family was incredible, albeit exhausting. We had this last Friday off (instead of today) and I had a great weekend hanging with my roommies and our good friends down the road. We pretty much spent the weekend doing homework and hanging out with them. Nothing else.
So this week is sort of the week from hell. Well, it's the week from hell until the 2nd week of March rolls around. That one is going to be a thriller as well. I've got a physical science test tomorrow, and a philosophy test on Wednesday. I'm not really worried about tomorrow because so much of physical science is obvious. I just have this small fear that it's going to end up really hard and I'm going to fail the test in what should be my easiest subject. I don't think that's going to happen though, hense my typing here rather than continuing to review my study guide. I hate that class.

It's been ages, I know. As is the norm when this happens (and it happens often) let's do a quick recap of the last two weeks.
- Lots of school in general. Took three weeks but we finally had our first five day week of classes.
- Went to San Diego for my cousins birthday and had a great time with the fam down there.
- More school.
- After a two hour+ ordeal of a trip to LAX my roommate and I finally picked up Mel last Thursday.
- Kara drove out last Friday to hang out and to take Mel back to AZ the next day.
- Went to citywalk with Mel and Kara and a bunch of friends from school. Good times had by all. One of my friends read the hit book Once Upon a Potty to us over dinner. Don't ask. Well you can, but the answer probably won't be enlightening.
- Superbowl Sunday. Didn't watch the half time show. I'm still thanking God.
- More school
And that brings us to today! My parents and gma are flying down today and the whole family (like 20 people) are going to Disneyland for my gma's 80th birthday. I can't believe she's 80. She seriously looks 65. I'm counting on having her around for a good long time since she's in such great shape. I can't wait to see my family and my gma, it's going to be a great weekend. Currently I'm listening to Huey Lewis and the News. Yes, Huey Lewis from the 80s. He was my absolute favorite when I was in preschool. Can you imagine a 4 year old singing hip to be square? That must have been a funny sight for my mom. Beside that I'm just counting down the hours until I leave to pick everyone up from the airport and make the drive to Anaheim. Only 10 hours to go. Oi vey.
