high bed in the low chapel

Last night I was putting around You Tube and found a video with a Dierks Bentley song over it. I WAS FLOORED! And I don't like country music.... Today, after downloading two of his albums from iTunes, I was blaring his songs out of the RAV. I rushed up to my study partner, Lisa, "Do you know this guy? I'd never heard of him!" "Oh, yeah. My neice LOVES him." "Lisa, we're going to his concert in Universal City in December."

My second nephew, Benjamin David was born on Wednesday. We're gonna call him "Little Ben" but his four-year-old sister insists on calling him "Banner." That's awesome.

I was accepted to Loma Linda University. Sweet. I can't believe my life is going to be completely different from what it was before. It feels great that I accomplished so much in the last year.

The Old Testament class at church continues.

Katherine threw a party last night and managed to put ten people in a room with very few things in common. However, the Christians were identified and retreated to the local Starbucks for tea.

I was lied to at work last week. Thankfully, I can invest as little time and thought into my job as I like and then I go home.

Slightly in conjuction with the latter fact, I realized just a few weeks ago that I spent too much time in my last career being reactive. I was reading an interview with a trauma surgeon and he suggested to medical students to, "Drive your work." Therefore, I have made very deliberate decisions to initiate, initiate, initiate in my studies at also at the City. This also allows me to retreat in my personal life. However, I can still be lied to even when I initiate. :)

...He continues to put amazing, faithful people in my life that witness to His glory. To be able to serve the Lord and create a life that exists within Jesus is beyond all comparison. I am so fortunate.

My parents are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary today. When they called me today from the vacation spot, it sounded if they were on the verge of an argument. Yes, it's been forty years....

After reading reviews in the New York Times and The Economist, I purchased "The Emperor's Children" a few weeks ago. This was my first novel read in ten years. Hey, I'm a non-fiction girl! There is a character named Ludovic. This seemed an odd choice by the author. Who, in real life, is named Ludovic? Well, it turns out that Katherine dated a Ludovic. So, to complete the karma cycle, I gave her the book last night.
