Ahh what a day. And I'm only half way through!

Between the bulging colostomy bag, the missing lunch cart and missing supervisors, and a wine bottle shortage there could've been several moments of fleshed out insanity. But thank god for 8 hours of good sleep prior to clocking in today.

..found an extra bottle and felt very happy :)  because of the name, silly.

The problem with bible studies and good questions is that they cut straight to the heart and the outcome is not always pretty. I guess that could be a good thing too though..

Not that I have already attained this or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took of me. I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it, but one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and striving toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize that god has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too god will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Join with others in following my example and take note of those who are living according to the pattern we gave them. For as I've often said before and say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a savior from there. Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they become like his glorious body. Friends, whom I love and long for, my joy and my crown, this is how we should stand firm in the lord.

recent reception of new news has inclined me to feel like barfing.

this is funny for two different reasons.  one, i don't usually barf.  (which makes me kinda like a bunny, who are physiologically unable to barf in general)  if i get sick, it usually finds another way out.

and two.  from what i know, though limited in experience and knowledge, the feeling of barfing is probably the most opposite effect such news should have on the normal person.  words like jubilation and merriment would seem more appropriate.  definitely not brain-sucking nausea.

ah well, i'm also not prone to displaying appropriate behavior as a first reaction so we'll see what happens.  meanwhile, grab me a bucket.

emo picture of the day.

whatever was to my profit i now consider loss for the sake of knowing christ.  what is more, i consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing christ jesus my lord.  for whose sake i have lost everything.  i consider everything rubbish that i might gain christ and be found in him.  not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law - but that which is through faith in christ.  a righteousness that is from god and is by faith.  i want to know christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing of his sufferings.  becoming like him in death in order to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

rejoice in the lord always, again i say rejoice.  let your gentleness be evident to all.  the lord is near.  do not be anxious about anything but in everything, with prayer and petition, and with thanksgiving, present your request to god and the peace that transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in christ jesus.  finally, brother, whatever is true whatever is noble, whatever is pure whatever is right, whatever is lovely whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.  whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice!  and the god of peace will be with you.

i rejoice greatly in the lord that lat last you have renewed in your concern for me.  indeed you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.  i am not saying this because i am in need for i have learn to be content whatever the circumstances.  whether in plenty or in want, i have found the secret of being content in any and every situation.  whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  i can do all things through christ who gives me strength.
