Its almost 4 p.m. I started this new job one month, 8 days, and 7 hours ago. You missed the phase of the barista, but that quite alright; it was quite boring. I did learn a lot of lessons but not all of them were at work. Now is the CPA era; I hope this last a bit longer.
I am going to start a new blog called "The Book of Woo." Please read it when it comes out.
It is hard for me to write these blog things, but I would really like to try. Discipline would definitely help.
I'll try to post some pictures in the next few days.

The end of 40 days and the beginning of eternity
Hi...I didn't end up writing all forty days *hangs head in defeat* I didn't read all forty days either. Maybe it is myself, maybe it is the devil (although i'll be hesitant to give him that much), but I found myself busier than a bee during the last few weeks. The funny thing is I am not right now and I even have the want to write something.
Now this week we had the SATs or Stanford Achievement Tests for North Hills. It is a series of test used to determine the brain knowledge of a student. Sadly to state, I don't want to know where many of my students lie. I actually think most are lazy bums. We took 3 days to test when it could have been done in 1.5 days. Then we had school, even on good friday. sad, but true.
This week was also Spiritual Emphasis Week. Interesting combination if you ask me...Spirit and Knowledge...hmmm... There were chapels 3 days this week so the teaching week was kind of shot as well. Although I did manage to squeeze one day of teaching out of thursday which was supposed to be a regular class day (so I used it as such). Also to top SEW off, there were two missions trips heading out from the church/school. The church sent three persons to India and China. The school sent a 12 member "squad" to Belize to help a former teacher with different things at the church she works at with her parents. Both groups will be gone for the spring break and will be serving God with their talents.
I think this catches us up just a tad, but if not...oh well...I'll post again soon.

a long week finally over
Well this week is coming to an end, although the events that have precluded the weekend may continue on. I can't be too specific, since this is a public site and she would not be too happy with me spilling my guts out, but lets say that my girlfriend and her family have been having a very hard week. It has been many long nights of listening and consoling and counselling. No one has died or have gotten very sick. We shall call it a "conflict of interests" that has boiled down to almost pure nonsense.
If you read this blog, all I ask for is prayer for my girlfriend and her family. Pray that God would give her wisdom in the choices that she makes and her family wisdom as well. Also pray for our relationship that the FATHER would strengthen it and He would send down some peace.

40 Days of Purpose VIII
The first purpose the pleasure of God.
We were made to bring pleasure to the almighty. The first two commandments were reflection of what God required of the Isrealites in worship. Bring pleasure to God has taken the form of worship; not just singing but in living our life out as pleasing to God.
Two thoughts are brought to the surface today: 'Worship is not for my benefit' and 'Worship is my life.' If we were made to bring pleasure to God, how come we seek to take pleasure from worship as well? Worship was not meant for us to "gain anything" but to give everything to God.
Is worship just music? I think that it is not, there are many more ways of "bringing pleasure to God" than just singing. How we live our life should be a worship offering to God. Many songs have been written on this but I think it is summed up nicely by an acquaitance of mine known as MOI.

I come tonight to yeild my right
I give you my life as a gift of offering
like the one that you gave me
It may not make a difference
It may not change a single life
It may not move a single stone
but it pleases you
I give you my life as a gift of offering
like the one that you gave me
It may not make a difference
It may not change a single life
It may not move a single stone
but it pleases you
Is my life that gift of offering that bring pleasure to God? It may have no earthly affect but i want my life to be pleasing to him.
