20. Jack Bauer rivals Chuck Norris in beastliness....
Yes, I also learned that beastliness is a word. But anyways, I’ve been hooked on 24. B lent me his season 1 dvds and my parents and I cannot stop watching. I did not like Jack in the beginning and I didn’t think he matched all the hype he got in the references from other tv shows I’ve watched or jokes I’ve heard. I thought he’d be this massively buff and suave guy,...
16. I underestimate and judge Jonah.
I have started reading Jonah during my quiet times, and I came to the realization that I have always had a preconception of Jonah. I will blame the children’s Bible stories I heard growing up in the church as well as the lack of my own personal discoveries that I have seen Jonah as a selfish man who was too cowardly to listen to God’s will. Instead of going to Nineveh, he runs in the...
13. I have the soul of a 65 year old lady.
People have always told me that I act older than I am. For most of my life, I’ve hung around people much older than me. And maybe because of that, I have the soul of a 65 year old lady, if not older. There are so many ways I am not a typical college student. I love to get 8+ hours of sleep, which often includes going to sleep before 12:30. The earlier, the better. I would rather stay in...
08. I often lack faith.
Mini crisis #2 today…and completely unrelated to mini crisis #1. A, E, and I met up for finance and so we had to discuss the retreat check request. This led to the problem of having more people than the already absolute maximum number of people we are allowed at our retreat site. Since that meeting, I’ve been stressed. Super stressed. Enough for it to be difficult for me to focus or...
06. Jesus is more than enough.
In Hebrews 7, the author compares Jesus to Melchizedek. I don’t know if I’ve ever studied this passage. I don’t think I had ever heard of Melchizedek and I had no idea who he was. I had to do a lot more searching to discover he was a priest during the time of Abraham. His name means “king of righteousness” and “king of Salem.” He was “without...
05. I have hope, an anchor for my soul.
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:19-20
Because of Jesus Christ, I have hope. I have a future. I have life worth living right now. Because of Jesus the high priest, I can come...

02. I would be fat if it wasn't socially...
I love eating. I love eating all sorts of food, candy, desserts. Not only do I love eating everything, but I love eating A LOT of everything. All this I already knew…but today I thought of how I would be fat if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s not socially acceptable and not good for your health in the long run. If being round wasn’t something to be looked down upon, I...
