Heart Reprise

So I am anxiously awaiting the coming semester, understanding that with it, will come the toughest obstacles in my life to overcome.  As some of you know, I am engaged to be wed sometime next year.  With that come many exciting responsibilities.  On top of that, I am a full-time student taking a full-load of reading intense classes, that are going to demand much of my time and effort.  I am an Oakwood Hall Resident Assistant, who chooses to live with Freshman in hope that God has something for me to give to them, between the meetings, events, service nights, and just late nights and early mornings with people who are beautiful.  

I must not allow myself to be lost in all of this, and be conformed to the lie of the royal consciousness doing each of the "jobs" or "roles" for the sake of efficiency or even for the feeling of success upon completion of the semester, but instead hope that I will see myself, and be viewed by others as a simple man. An instrument of love.

With a very busy schedule.

Objective reality and Morality

Some things I haven't come to grips with yet as a Christian thinker.  When I attempt agree that truth is objective, and and apply the "rate it 1-10" scale on everything, I come eventually to morality.  Do i help Marvin, who is a man who should have a full-time caretaker, because he is so feeble, and can hardly walk, but is driving to the hospital three times a week and checking into hotels every night in between because he ran or got kicked out of the Old folks home he was in?  Or do i continue about my life in my scheduled events, going to classes and not getting in trouble by my professor, and going to paint with my fellow students at the Gospel Mission Center?

If Truth or for that matter morality is objective than why do we need a God?

I purtose a post!

So, the holidays are over and I feel like ... crap.  That's because you are you what you eat and i have had 3x the servings of it this season.  Whether it's culture or me eating my emotions, it's bad and i don't like it.  I feel sloth-like and often times just in a bad mood for no reason.

I was thinking earlier, "what's worse, wasting food or overeating?" 

I have come to the conclusion that overeating is worse because not only does your body not use the food, but it's unhealthy.  In essence overeating is killing yourself slowly, while still wasting the food.  Not saying can't indulge now and again, i am saying this because in my case, every time I like what I am eating I go back for more, and I haven't found much that I don't like!

So I purpose a toast, to a new year, and another attempt at changing deeply formed habits, that effect me and everyone around me!

So...I'm Monstering Again

mmmmmmm....reminds me of Xmas!
