I want to shine on in the hearts of man, I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand. Direction to perfection.

What a good day off! *Big Breath*

This being my last free saturday for the season, I decided to chill out, sleep in till noon, then head into Corvallis for awhile before watching a movie with some friends. I had an awesome time brousing in Borders, though I have to admit something. I have a emmense desire to read contemporary literature, yet this horrid fear that underneath the well designed cover is a novel about Crack Whores or Enviromentalists or Homosexuals, which has happened many times. Don't get me wrong, I love those people, and im shure there is great literature about them. But I want a nice story with truth and heart and conflict that comes from good characterization, not cheep shots at Goodness.


I did pick up Elizabeth Elliot's "Through the gates of splendor" which looks powerful. Erik lent me a copy of Jim Elliot's journals, which I haven't picked up... yet. But the sections of this letters and prayers in this book testify to an amazing heart, and one that resonates with me. He says and writes everything I wish I could. It will be an honnor to stand with him in The Kingdom.

Also, I bought myself John H. Dobson's "Learn New Testiment Greek" which looks like a great way to start out. I do hope to be able to take Greek classes at East Linn next year, under just about the most Christ-like Pastor I know, Steve McGuyer. I AM STOKED.

After that I chilled at starbucks for a bit, and then saw The Lake House with some friends. The movie was alright for a chick flick... i suppose.

I think everyone should die at the end of every chick flick... that's my oppinion. That is Romance!

Much Love all!
