guess what?!

We are in our new apartment!!!
The apartment is still a mess, but being in our home feels great.
My friend Adrienne visited this past weekend. YAY!
The female American gymnasts aren't doing so hot. Sad.
But........
Marshall has his big screen TV...perfect for watching the Olympics!
We've been looking at plane tickets for the holiday trip home...
and they are extremely expensive...I'm not sure how we are going to swing it. Also sad.
I love soda and eating a crap ton of cereal...
I am in love my husband.
We both have been rather stressed and at times take our emotions out on each other.
We need to stop that...well, probably me, more than him.
I'll work on it dear.
I love you husband, I do, I do, I doooohooooo.

Changing

The Father accepts us where we are, not where we'd like to be. What we are and what we are not.

God is an agent of change, though He is also fundamentally unfailingly static and permanent. He does not change, but He makes it possible for us to change.

If the purpose of life is to gain knowledge of the Father, then life can be simply described as a process of growing in god. We live to change for Him in a way that brings His essence to the forefront of our personality.

If we trust God, we also need to trust in the process that is knowing God. If we fail or fall short in life, it is because we have neglected this trust. The process of knowing God begins and ends in every moment in which we choose Him before all other things.

We can have no self-agency free from the influence of the agency of God the Father in and from whom all things are made possible.

That's what I think.

Stay Gold.

McCain Debunked

This is worth spending six minutes of your life watching.



John McCain is a coward and a liar with no ideas genuine to himself.

Thanks, dad, for sending me this link.

Stay Gold!

Painting

I've been drawing and painting lately in all of this free time I have until August 7th. Here's something I painted last week. The words come from a song by Have Heart .



This is really my first serious attempt at anything with watercolors. I like some things about it, and I don't like others. Yes, I know that the right wing is neither dimensionally or proportionately correct. So it goes.

Anyway. Just thought I'd share. I will post more as I finish them.

Stay Gold,
