Packages

so I've been getting cds and packages for a few days, but i've been waiting for this one... Jennifer Knapp Kansas!! finally came in today... one of my all time favourites... its awesome... and I love the simple music complemented by powerful vocals... its amazing... I love it...

I also love all the bike stuff I got two days ago... got a truing stand, a seat, a multi tool, a spoke wrench, a computer and a cadence adapter, a hydrapak and various other goodies... all in all 200$... but ti came in such a small box for that cost... :-( but I guess its all really really really worth it!

Humility

Referring to the certified miracle which is required for sainthood, Dziwisz said: "The Holy Father didn't want to hear talk of such things. He would say `If by chance something should happen, God makes miracles, not me. I pray. These are mysteries. Let's not talk of these things.'

"But there were so many miracles which happened during his life," his longtime secretary said, without elaborating.

oh God, bless us with humility... love... and desire for You and Your will.

How much am I ready to claim the good things that happen through me? even if I know it can't possibly be me... and how often do I justify the bad, the dark, the sinful, as okay, something I might as well succumb to?

Johannes, ora pro Nobis!

If only I had a fraction of his Love...

John Paul's eyes were practically closed during a Mass celebrated at the foot of his bed in the late afternoon of March 31, the account said.

"But at the moment of the consecration, he weakly raised his right hand two times, that is, on the (raising up) of the bread and wine. He made a gesture indicating he was trying to strike his chest during the recitation" of the Lamb of God prayer, the Vatican said.

test

just took a test in my ethical theory class...
I think it went well... the essay was half about Aquinas.

still feeling sickish... can't figure out why, the docs did blood work and xrayed my lungs yesterday, and no infection... so the assumption that I pulled out of the doc (they apparently don't like to diagnose) was that it was my asthma (and I added in my mind, and Allergies)... just really bad asthma and allergies.

had a lot of sleep last night and my body still feels sick... maybe it's AAA, Asthma allergies, anxiety... ;-)

c'est la vie... going back to class...

BUSY

So lately I've been really busy, working on an forming an academic program for the six local houses (and all the suprising politics that comes with that) and being sick... (in addition to school, the rest of my work and friends... who've been dying to see me...

Got my old webpage partially up (not fully functional, but mostly)... http://www.public.iastate.edu/~sirhair/

and otha stuff
