| It has been a while since I have posted so I wanted to keep you guys updated on what has been going on in my life.
I have finished my first semester at Delaware College of Art and Design and I cannot express what a wonderful place that DCAD is for me. I have never had this much fun at school. I am also excited about some ministry opportunites that I have at DCAD. My friend and pastor approached me today about starting a group at DCAD where students would meet once a week and discuss their questions about spiritual matters. The students I have talked to seem super excited and I am really excited too. I have been praying for opportunites to talk about these matters, but always find myself slightly ill equipped. This has not only been a matter of conviction, but now an answer to prayer. I start classes again on the 22nd and I hope that the group will start shortly after that. I would appreciate all your prayers in this matter and also in God's direction in my life. My goal is that God's will be played out perfectly in me and that my life will be a reflection of the grace that He is given me.
I would also like to extend an invitation to all you LOST junkies out there. There will be a Friday night Forum at Barnes and Noble on 202 this friday where we will discuss LOST from a Christian world view. It should be very interesting. Jason Sica is going to be leading the discussion.
Besides all that Life is Blessed. I am quitting my job on August 24th to attend college full time starting the fall. I will be hopefully graduating in December of 2008 if my calculations are correct. GAH! So many exciting things going on!

| I sit here in tears just hearing the news of the passing of my friend Elizabeth Crossan. I worked with Elizabeth for only a year at A Door Of Hope, but the impact she had on my life was tremendous. She has left a Legacy, an Imprint on my heart and it makes me wonder. Do I have a Legacy as a Godly woman? Do people see Christ in me or do they just see a good person? The death of a loved one impacts a life for a while, but often we forget the urgency of life a few months down the road. There might not be a tomorrow to get life together. There may not be a tomorrow to start forgiving, to start moving past issues, to start living an abundant life for Christ. Who Elizabeth died gracefully with the joy that she had for the LORD. She rests now in the arms of her heavenly father no longer in pain from the cancer that plauged her body, but now perfect in heaven. Oh I long for that day when the troubles of this earth pass away and I am ushered into heaven.

| I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would take a moment or two just to do a quick update. I am thoroughly enjoying my 3D class this semester and I hate my foundation seminar ( I don't have an interest in animation or graphic design thank you). I have used much spackle, styrofoam, putty, clay, wood, wood glue, wood putty, wood chips, plaster, cardboard, tape, and the list goes on. I have loved every moment of it. I'm not going to waste your time complaining about my Foundation seminar because I have to do it and complaining will just put me in a bad mood, so on the positive side, i'll be an expert in house to draw a bug by the end of this class. I've also been doing a diet for the past month and have managed to lose 19 pounds already, so that's exciting. Hmm, what else to share. LOST has not disappointed me in the past few weeks, but I really hope they start moving a little faster because last week someone said they had been on the island 70 or 80 days and I thought to myself...That's all"?! It seems like years to me because I have been watching this for years. *sigh* I'm also preparing to go to school full time in the fall. I'll be taking 5 or 6 classes and I'm super excited to quit my job. Freedom from the "man". I hope this post finds you all in good spirits and Have a lovely day.

| Due to technical difficulties I was not able to do a running commentary, but here are some of my thoughts (and Becky's) on the episode. This is not in chronological order, so keep up. We are going to start with the freaky freaky video that Carl was being forced to watch in the room. Phrases such as "Think about what you've done" and "God loves you like he loved Jacob" flashed up on the screen. Now if I am not mistaken, Jacob has been mentioned before, although as what I do not remember. I'll have to research that. I also don't understand the images being flashed up on the screen. Flowers, mush, and mechanical sorts of things flashed on the screen with these weird phrases while loud obnoxious heavy metal music played throughout the room. I also want to know what was in the IV that was attached to his arm and what those glasses they had him wearing were supposed to do. Perhaps a hallucinogenic drug? Becky and I are both concerned about the fact that Sawyer and Kate are bringing this boy, who has been exposed to some freaky mind games back onto the island. Can we say precursor to mass murder by crazy boy? Now for Juliet's weirdness. First, the woman inpregnated a male rodent. That's our first sign that the chick has some issues. Secondly, so her sister is pregnant. We are trying to figure out why it is such a miraculous thing that she is pregnant. She looks to be going through a sort of cancer treatment, so maybe she is infertil? Another theory, her sister is really a dude. I would not put it past the writers to do this. I also must express my disappointment that Ben is still alive. Becky thinks this leaves room to kill him later, I think this leaves room for him to play god for a bit longer. While we are on the subject of Ben, when did he become the father of Alex? We already know that Alex is the daughter of the Crazy French Lady. This revelation bring up several questions (I know, weird for something on LOST to bring up questions). Q1: Is the French Lady really a banished other. Q2: Is Alex really Ben's daughter, or does Alex just think that he is? Q3: If Ben really is her father, then that would mean that he and the French Lady would have had a relationship of sorts.
These are the things I am going to touch on for now, perhaps I will discuss more later, but your imput is greatly appreciated.

| I've been bogged down with assingments that force me to be creative (I hate doing things just because someone tells me to...yes, I have an attitude problem) and therefore I have had no time, but do not fret. I will be doing a LOST blog tomorrow night. Be prepared for greatness.
