Thursday, April 22nd, 2004 - Tentative Schedule

Here's what my schedule might look like next fall:

MWF:
10-11 MUS 110 Listening Experience in Music
11-12 CST 170 Telecommunications Media Literacy
TTh:
10-11 ESS 104 Dance Appreciation
12:40-2 SOC 200 Foundations of Social Analysis
2-3:40 CST 190 Intro to Communications Studies

I'm signed up for 14 credits and only ended up with 2 of the 5 classes that I wanted - one of the classes that's full is "Intro to [Doug's major]" which is Interpersonal Communications, but since I declared Sociology major when I applied (yes I changed my mind since then), I don't think I'll be able to get an override for that class. I'm still seeing what I can do about that.

God really rocked my face off in the last 10 hours or so. After watching the Timberwolves with some fun Crusade guys (I'm starting to take more of an interest in sports because I connect with more guys that way), I mosied on down to my dorm room. I talked on AIM for a little bit while I tried not to wake my roomy with my typing, and then I just felt drawn to the Word. It was 1:30 a.m., I had a paper to write for my 8:00 class, and I had registration for classes at UWL at 7:00 a.m., but what's all that compared to spending time with God?

Over the last couple months, God has really been cultivating not just an idea but a set of ideas in me - dealing with faith, works, and baptism, mostly. I have kept wanting to blog this, but God has held it off as He keeps revealing more about all this. I received the revelation last night and finally it all tied together in my head; now the task is to get that in words in a way that makes sense in other people's heads, too. There are so many Scripture verses that repeat the same things over and over that it would be laborious and redundant to look them all up, so I'll see which ones God wants in there. :)

I just have to throw the random Doug comment in at the end - I think that these help people better understand my antics by seeing the kinds of things that go through my head. I was saying the word "idol" in slow motion and got the words "I...dull..." so I imagined an idol talking to me. It went something like "I...dull...God...not...He...good...go Him now...ya" which somehow deciphers as some form of prayer in my head. It greatly helped, and I'm already seeing God work at me and with me in destroying this stronghold.
