I finally got straight A's in a semester. Now the classes that I had may not seem the most challenging, but believe me, a few of them were. I had Health 101, CIS 105(introduction to software), Enviromental Science, and Music 101. The easiest I will say was Music 101. But hey, I am still happy to see those 4 A's. Now I just need to keep that for each semester. :)
I was an all A's student, as far as I was concerned! lol ... I can only say that cause I wasn't in school... but... lol. Congratulations, Kyle! That is great to hear!
Congrats! I got all A's except for one B, but I console myself that it was a sophomore-level Biology class, and I just found out that I actually got an 89% in the class, which was ONE PERCENT AWAY from being an A. Ah well. Close enough.
d00d: click this! According to this (which has been recently updated), BF:H should be released in this first quarter of this year! W00T Remember that means the offical release, not open beta, which of course will be sooner! w00t
Yup, pretty small! You could press it in a book and save it... and then years from now you'll open some random book, and a miniature leaf will fall out. And you'll remember a beautiful fall in Pennsylvania!
Breaking News: The thursday night session at Annandale is canceled - instead there's going to be some sort of potluck something. The 3 Friday morning sessions are still on. I won't be going to the potluck, I will be attending the 3 Friday sessions. I don't know if that affects your plans or not. Lacking another Thursday evening plan, if you (and Kramer?) would enjoy it, we could check out something in DC Friday evening, sightsee or whatever. It's been a while since I've been down there.
Did you go? did you see anything? Franz missed a buck. more than once. Bill's gun didn't shoot straight ;) Franz & Hunter are at it again. They should be back soon since it's dark. and cold.
Regarding when to call... Sunday afternoons (roughly 12:30-5:00, though we may be having a Bible study with some Mormons), any evening after 9:30 (things get easier after Leila goes to bed) and just about any time on a Saturday.
Prayer is something that I have recently been growing in and trying to make in more of a daily priority. When should one pray? Just when we need or want something? Yes we can pray when are in need (Matthew 7:7). When we need strength, pray; when we need help, pray; and when we need a spiritual lift up, pray. The only thing is that we can’t expect us to always get what we want or need at that exact moment. It may come when God wills. We must be patient and trust on the Lord.
My biggest question is do you pray when everything is going great and you are spiritually growing rapidly? My answer, you should be. I have been noticing in my own life that when I am growing and I have a reason to rejoice, I should be giving thanks to God. He has created us, blessed us, and given us everything we need. Why not give thanks for your good times.

Last night we had a pretty good storm come blowing through our area. I was laying all snug in my bed as the lighting and thunder was going crazy out my window. I then begin to think of how great God is and how little I am. It opened my eyes even more to who I really am. I thank God that I can be called a child of God and serve Him. Thinking of all this, I would encourage you to read Job 38-39. It truly shows of the power of our God. It humbles me.
I really like lying in bed listening to thunder storms. Oddly enough, it makes me feel safe - that God is great and powerful and awesome and He is taking care of me.
Good point. I sometimes seem to pray more when things are going well. I sometimes forget to pray when I am having trouble. It seems odd. Perhaps I get too wrapped up in myself and forget about God in those times. That is very bad. Prayer is so important in times good and bad.
Beautiful post! This gave me a boost, thanks :) Such good points! Prayer is so important and such a beautiful blessing, yet something that can be taken for granted or totally ignored. Thank you for this reminder!
Oh yes I loved that storm! I didn't sleep much at all. I kept waking up watching and listening to the storm and praying. Storms are such a beautiful thing! Have a blessed day!
You know what else? I think the times I feel like I'm doing best (spiritually) are the days and weeks when I'm purposefully and actively seeking to pray on a continual basis. Reminds me of Paul's promise in Phil 4 -- that the peace of God will guard us when we're praying with thanksgiving, bringing our requests to God.
I agree and I think that is why. I think being trained (raised up) to solve my own problems and not knowing about God, made me more likely to "cling" to my troubles - not share them - including with God. Thanks for the post Kyle.
youre so right, kyle! there is no substitute for prayer- no matter how hard we try or pretend. hope all is well! please tell miss ladonna i say hello and i think of her often!
It's still doing quite well! Things will kinda drop off the map in a few weeks. but for the moment, we are keeping busy. It's good to hear from you! I hope that things are going well! Have a good day!

Father of mercies, day by day
My love to thee grows more and more;
Thy gifts are strewn along the way
Like sands upon the great seashore,
Like sands upon the great seashore...
