Death Stands above me

Death stands above me, whispering low
I know not what into my ear:
Of this strange language all I know
Is, there is not a word of fear.

Walter Savage Landar
(1775-1864)

Roman baths

Yesterday I learned something about Roman baths.
The way they cleaned themselves was they pust oil on along blade and they had someone scrape it across their back. Not only did the dirt come off but also parts of the skin. Fun huh? The reason for this is becuase soap wasn't invented until centuries later.

I probabley wouln't ever be clean.

would you?

A Day in Lincoln

So today was very exciting!
In Lincoln there was a art fair, a whine expedition and a flea market. Two of those three are things that I love to do.

It actually all started out with my next door neighbor, wanting to go to a forest perserve. She researched where the park was located and we were going to start off on our adventure into the world of Lincoln. So we all piled into our friend's van and started off to the park. We made a quick detour to the train station and then ended up at the art fair instead. I bought a swiss army knife(for camping purposes) and then we went to the McDonalds in town to get some ice cream.

All in all it was a very eveantful day for us because we rarely ever get off campus. Tomorrow I'm trying out a new church. I'm very excited!!!!!

That's all to say here. Good by and good luck. Did you do anything eveantful today?

Bible college

Things Iv'e learned from Bible college:
1.) Expect everyone to be a christian the first week.
2.)Every girl is either in these three catagories, dating, engaged, or desperatley wanting to date(except for a chosen few, including myself, who would not care if we dated or not).
3.)No one thinks for themselves, this is a very important lesson to learn.
4.)Don't off-handedley suggest that you arn't sure what the heaven and hell themes are.
5.)THere is nothing to do in Lincoln.

I have a hard time hearing God in this place. Everything is soooo.... Christian. The talk, the music, the reading. Everything but the life right now. I would like to see this place full of humanity isteand of just full of divinity. It's much easier to talk about God rather than to know his presence and walk with him on a daily basis. It's much eaiser to see him in a place of stagnant growth than it is to see him in a place that is supposed to be known for abundantly growing.

Have you ever wondered why girls are so fascinated with getting hitched. Come to a bible college and you will find the answers. But that is for another blogging date.

1.)Tuition: 10,000 dollars
2.)gas money: 50 dollars
3.) laundery: 1.75$
The chance to see the Christian world at it's best: Priceless
