I drove down on Thursday after work, so it was too dark to take in the fall foliage on the drive down. I returned to Maryland on Sunday afternoon, and was finally able to see all the trees on the mountains and across most of the state of Virginia painted in all the beautiful fall colors.

Last night I went to my weekly Nav Bible study. This week we were studying verses related to the topic "The Word": 2 Timothy 3:16 and Joshua 1:8. For each verse, as I think I mentioned in a previous entry, we read the surrounding text to get a better idea of the context of each verse and then discuss the verses' implications.

Today, I cooked brunch for my rank in the MVs. The menu was pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs, plus some fruits and a wide selection of milk and juice.

This is SO true. If we expect to grow in our Christian walk, we have to be willing to give up whatever it is that's holding us back.

So, it was an excellent weekend. The first football game of the season just happened to be at FED-EX field just outside of DC against USC (ranked #1 in the preseason polls).

Wow, its hard to believe that the summer is practically over. I have a little over 30 hours to go before I'm off to classes again this fall.

I don't know that anyone actually still reads this considering how irregular my entries are, but whether or not Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-1080748261892208102004-03-31T10:51:00.000-05:002004-03-31T10:55:24.716-05:00March of Dimes

There are some things in my life that I've been 'slacking' on and want to fix... so here they are.

While I haven't written about it in a few weeks, I have been keeping up with the Purpose Driven Life study I've been doing. I've just been busy going here and there and haven't been able to update this page in the meantime. I'm on day 29 today and have gone through the first three purposes... worship, fellowship, and sanctification.

I received this in an email from my dad... just found it 'interesting'. (Disclaimer: I do not consider myself to be a republican; however, I DO have a conservative ideology, so I imagine that I will tend to vote republican due to the fact that voting for one of the minor parties would basically be a waste of my vote since for all practical purposes we are a BIpartisan nation)

The bible says to 'Pray continuously'. This can be done by using many 'breath prayers' througout the day; just brief sentances or simple phrases that can be repeated to Jesus in one breath. Practicing the presence of God is a skill... at first you need to create reminders to bring your thoughts back to the awareness of God.
We don't praise God to feel good, but to do good. The Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-1077985062043068322004-02-28T11:17:00.000-05:002004-02-28T11:41:24.403-05:00Days 5 and 6
I got two days behind already on the 40 days of Purpose reading, but its kinda legitimate. On Thursday, I injured my hands while belaying one of my friends Rock Climbing and was unable to really do much once I got home from that... Friday I have no excuse... but its Saturday and I'm catching back up.
After a nice conversation with Robbie, I picked up my book and started reading Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-1077500382658138332004-02-22T20:39:00.000-05:002004-02-22T20:59:09.746-05:00Purpose
So life in Cincy's going well... Sorry for the hiatus and lack of posts, but life's busy (I think I said that last time I posted, but that's just the way it is).
Anyway, this morning I went to church for the first time since I've been in Cincinnati. This week, one of the other co-ops was telling me about where he's gone to church a few times while he's been up here, so since I woke up Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-1077116688740930502004-02-18T10:04:00.000-05:002004-02-18T10:07:25.390-05:00Hello from Cincinnati

Well, I went to the Pittsburgh Game with the MV's this weekend. It was a really fun trip... Robbie has a pretty good summation of the weekend on his blog so, I'll direct you there for the details... HokiePundit.

I just started reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel Sunday evening. I've not gotten very far, but it seems to be a good book. According to the back cover, "Pi Patel, a God-loving boy and the son of a zookeeper, has a fervent love of stories and practices not only his native Hinduism, but also Christianity and Islam.

I finished The Dream of Spaceflight just now after 2 solid days of reading. The last chapter was very short in comparison to the rest of the book so I only have one quotation to post from it... the closing to the entire book.

I'm almost done!
First quote of the chapter: "Where there is no vision, the people perish." ~ Proverbs 29:18. This means that without a source of meaning larger that of your own ego or beyond survival itself, you're left in a world full of void. How boring that must be!

Now for the highlights of Chapter 3: 'Seeking the Center at the Edge' By the way, this book is mostly a book who's purpose is to inspire you to say 'yay spaceflight' not really to provoke critical thought on controversial issues; therefore, most of my posts on this book have been and probably will continue to be quotations I think are spiffy.

I was at the Air & Space Smithsonian shortly after having finished the book I had to read for my internship. I was roaming the book section of the gift shop and ran across a book that was on sale for just $5, called The Dream of Spaceflight: Essays on the near edge of infinity by Wyn Wachhorst.

Well, its been well over a month since I posted up here. I suppose I just haven't been 'inspired' by anything recently to write about here.

I wanted to come back today and make some more comments about this horrible tragedy and expand upon the events of yesterday.

In regards to Thursday's post, I wanted to add a few comments.
Before I went to class, the way I responded was soley.... "Of course they aren't letting homosexuals carry leadership positions!" I mean, why would they?

In my religion class, we're required to subscribe to a Daily Relgious News Email service, OnReligion.com. One article we were required to read spouted some interest in my mind... (from the Washington Times 1/18/03):

It's Friday, finally! This first week of the spring semester has gone so SLOWLY. I'm taking 18 credit hours and working in an Aerospace Engineering Senior Design Team. I also made the Hokie Hoops Pep Band and the University Symphony Band (one of my credit classes). Here's my class schedule...
Monday
* 10:10 am - Engineering Fundamentals
* 11:15 am - Religion: Judaism, Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-872775262003-01-11T16:38:00.000-05:002003-01-11T16:38:54.910-05:00A New Year
So, I'm a little late, but I want to wish ya'll a happy new year! May it be a fun and productive year.
I don't have many wise words to start the year off... I don't really do the whole 'New Year's Resolution' thing... I don't see a point, because if there's something in your life that needs to be changed waiting for a new year to begin is just going to get you in the habit of puttingStefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-865006112002-12-24T21:53:00.000-05:002002-12-24T21:53:28.250-05:00Christmas Eve
Well, its that time of year... Christmas Eve. So many people get caught up in the chaos of the season that they neglect the true meaning of Christmas... Jesus Christ. And even for non-Christians, there should be more to Christmas than just rushing around getting angry because you can't find that perfect gift in time... its time to relax and enjoy the company of your family.

I don't know if there is such a thing as blogger etiquette... but, since Robbie (HokiePundit) issued a good luck to me and another fellow Hokie on our exams, I figured I'd repay the favor.... So, to Robbie (and anyone else who may be taking them as well)... Good luck on your exams. I hope that your efforts will be repaid and that you won't be too stressed throughout exam weekStefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-857016972002-12-08T20:17:00.000-05:002002-12-08T20:17:09.260-05:00In conjunction with yesterday's post, I noticed that my friend Robbie's (Hokie Pundit) Away message was along the same lines:
You know, I'm glad people think Bush is a moron. He had a 1206 on his SATs (before the readjustment). He got his BA and MBA from two Ivy League schools.

I understand that not everyone can be wise enough to understand certain things in life, but that doesn't mean that the liberals have to be so stubborn. Face it George W IS our president. He won the election, whether or not you like it.... nothing you say is or do is going to change that right now.

Yes.. this is a little late coming, but I was reminded of something I could post on after reading someone else's blog.
Thanksgiving... a time to be... well, Thankful. So... here's my list of everything (well, at least everything I can think of) I'm thankful for (I mean besides the obvious... since everything derives from God anyway)....

Well, it looks as if I not only took a fall break physically from school, but also mentally from blogging...
That last week before my real break (up to the 22nd of Nov.) I was VERY busy with tests and projects and the sort... but I have no excuse for my week at home...
Nothing of substance comes to mind to talk about... Hopefully I can think up something soon!Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-845605922002-11-14T23:22:00.000-05:002002-11-14T23:22:26.776-05:00CT Article
Yes, another busy week... looks as if next week won't be much better, but then its Fall BREAK!!! :) yayayay!
Anyway, today in the CT (Collegiate Times), Virginia Tech's newspaper... actually a pretty good source of campus, state, national, and worldwide news, considering the source... Well, today in the Opinions & Commentary section there was an commentary on Gun ownership...

I was presented with this new Christian view on dating about halfway through last school year... I still haven't developed an opinion on it but, here are some excerpts from a website I found about it (http://polynate.net/books/courtship/part1.html):

Ahhh.. the morning after.... The elections silly! Yes, we all await the next morning so we know how our votes affected the elections.... Here's a run-down of the things I voted for....
* US Senate Election
John Warner walks away with the position as US Senator from Virginia for the 4th term (he's been in the Senate since 1978), carrying a wopping 84% of the votes.

In honor of one of the greatest American freedoms: voting
I voted for the first time today. That's one of the good parts about being 18! And I got one of those stickers to show that I participated in my country! But, today's post is related to the elections.... Political Parties....
There are many, many, many independent parties in the United States.... Some of these include:

(this blog is quickly turning non-political... but that's okay)
Assurance of Help in Temptation
"No Temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." ~ I Corinthians 10:13

Many Christians celebrate holidays, such as Halloween, without thinking about where it originated or its true meanings... I've never really had a problem with Halloween, but then again, I've never really taken the time to look into why some Christians do not participate in this holiday. So, that's what this post is meant to be: My exploration of this holiday.

Sorry for the break in posts... I get busy from time to time here at college and have to pull myself away from the blogger scene.
On Sunday, after NLCF, I went to the Newman library for the first time since I've been at college. For some reason, I have no need to go to the library.

You might as well say that the sheet of music which tells you, at a given moment, to play one note on the piano and not another, is itself one of the notes on the keyboard. The Moral Law is, so to speak, the tune we've got to play: our instincts are merely the keys.

I've always been slightly confused by the idea of fasting... it has always seemed to be a more "Old Testament" teaching that noone follows anymore.... But a week or two ago HokiePundit mentioned that he was fasting... And today, the sermon at NLCF was all about fasting... so here's my insight (taken mainly from what I picked up from Chris Backert's sermon this morning):

You know... I have a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for the military. I was going to be a part of the Air Force, after all. And, I still am around the military every day here at Tech, since Tech is one of the 2 schools in the nation with a Corps of Cadets within the civilian school.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men, since you know that you'll receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward ~ Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." ~ Eclesiastes 9:10

The song I posted last night, When Love Takes You In, is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The first time I heard the song was at the 2002 Concert in Roanoke in February or March. I'm a rather stoic person in that I don't cry very often. In fact, I believe that when I heard this song at the concert last year it was the first time and only time I've ever cried due to Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856504.post-832779062002-10-20T23:07:00.000-04:002002-10-20T23:07:35.540-04:00Song of the Week
When Love Takes You In
I know you’ve heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You’ve heard about a place called home
But there doesn’t seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream
Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you Stefiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984817386492948253noreply@blogger.com0
