So I once again am trying new technology

I have Firefox 2.0, yes I do. It is good. I am currently looking at something called Performancing, which is a way to post to my blog directly from my browser without opening a new window with my blog in it. So this is me trying that out

November


I really find it hard to think that it's actually November. This year has flown by. At the same time it has seemed like forever since I celebrated the coming of '06 with friends at home. Now I'm well into my first semester of my Junior year. I'm closer to done with college than not at this point. Part of my reason to write this is procrastination, so please excuse that.

My church on campus is currently undergoing some major overhaulin' in the model we use for ministry and it's been a very interesting thing for me. We've had lots of conversations and dialogue on the subject, and while I initially hated the idea of change, I am slowly warming up to it. I know it requires me to step up and actually follow a challenge to be involved instead of just doing what I'm 'supposed to.' I'm excited about the ideas and the changes. For those involved in the church that have no idea what I'm talking about...shoot me a line.

I've been looking at schedules for next semester and I'm pretty excited about the way things are gonna look class-wise.

I think this semester I've learned how far I am still from being what God's image for humanity is. I fall short on a lot and have a lot to learn. I've seen my communication with him change, and I've seen the way he's working in me change. He's not just a static God, but very fluid and always changing how he interacts with us so we can still experience him. I think something I need to work on is seeking interaction with him. Something I really desire is to be in communication with him, and that requires a two way street. That means me listening. In the spiritual disciplines class I'm in right now, the idea of using solitude and silence to open ourselves to God, and using them as even our 'default mode' can really help to open our hearts and minds to his words. So I guess that's something I really desire to work on.
Right now though...Whether I desire to work on it or not, I am gonna work on my ME 310 lab.
