THIS IS HOW I FEEL!
Just juiced my first ever collegiate “A” out of British Writers! So many more exclamation points are called for, but I’m not that girl.
I’m afraid to take off these overalls and this flannel shirt, because they’ve become a part of me over the past five hours.
Is that the sweet, alluring voice of a new style I hear calling my name?
Hosea...
“When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me.” -Hosea 13:6
…rocks my world. Human love and marriage and adultery and prostitution creates such a beautiful metaphor. Actually, most things in this world can be metaphorically applied to God’s relationship with man- hunger and gluttony, planting seeds and reaping full grown plants, clothing and fashion, worship and music. It’s like in every cause and effect, every fact- whether biological or philosophical- there’s an intentional revelation about the nature of the Creator and the creation. Uh oh, I just realized my thoughts are taking me to… a Lewis quote!
“When [Christianity] tells you to feed the hungry it does not give you lessons in cookery. When it tells you to read the scriptures it does not give you lessons in Hebrew and Greek, or even in English grammar. It was never intended to replace or supersede the ordinary human arts and sciences; it is rather a director which will set them all to the right jobs, and a source of energy which will give them all new life, if only they will put themselves at its disposal.”- C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity
Additionally, I heard from a friend of a quote about, but not by, Lewis, which I think describes one of the most Christ-like qualities of his writing (I say his writing only because I didn’t have the Simeon-esque privilege of seeing the man in person.) I can’t find the source, but it was something to the effect of- “What he thought about everything was secretly represented in what he said about anything.” And I think that the nature of God consistently permeates his physical creation just like He allowed it to consistently permeate Lewis’ words. You could say about God, “What He offered to man on an eternal level was secretly represented in everything He offered man on earth.” See? It’s like God is everywhere.
What my outfit was TRYING to say was, “Hi, I wasn’t planning on leaving my dorm tonight. Oh, and this is my retainer, Phil. He phils in the gaps in my teeth.” At this point, my outfit would stop for a good Sandra Bullock style snort laugh and hike up it’s sweatpants.
Grades are in!
And…. SCORE!
Got a “P” in Presbyterian Leadership! Hope it stands for predestined.
Nothing says “You don’t live with us anymore, so we love you.” like green goo-covered cornflakes! Thanks family!
A new world had opened upon me. If life is more than breath and the “quick round of blood,” I lived more in that one day than in a year of my slave life. It was a time of joyous excitement which words can but tamely describe.
– Frederick Douglass, who knows how I feel.
Why clean ‘em if they’re just gonna get dirty again?
– Tim, on underpants.
Wordle word cloud of frequently occurring words from Tim’s and my paper, “50 Ways to Leave Big Brother,” which sought to answer the question “Is philosophical adherence to anarchism compatible with the teachings of Scripture?”
I see “hitherto” didn’t make the cut. Jesus managed to squeeze in there though. Wow, he might even be almost as big as Calvin.. Sounds like a pretty lame paper to me. Hope you guys didn’t waste too much time on it.
Terrifying.
I had nightmares about a fuzzy blue tapeworm, the periodic table, and a sock.
I think my brain needs to get its priorities straight.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.

I’ve posted this before, but this time you don’t get to think it’s about you, because this time it’s just about Cree.

Pardon me, Dr. Howard?
This is terribly uncomfortable for me, but you see, I can’t answer questions 23-79 on the test, because…
1. They’re all my unlucky numbers.
2. …Is that Louis Pasteur behind you!? *Run away.*
3. My finger hurts.
4. I’m too pretty for science.
5. I’ve been struck blind.
6. I don’t believe in numbers above 22.
so cute!
