Transcending the superficial

In response to yesterday.

Dear Father,
You are so great.
On this day of superficial affection, your love overwhelms me.
Your love, GOD.
I pray I one day will comprehend, but for now I will try my hardest.
Your love for everyone.
My love imperfect, a thousand times less than a fraction of yours.
Show me, GOD.
I want to love all in the way you love me.
But I am one man, living in this one world.
Today, Tomorrow, LORD.
Fill me up with your unconditional love until I can stomach no more.
And let me show them.
All of them.
My love is not mine to keep.
My love runs deeper than the sea and higher than the moon.

Love,
Your Son

thank you Michael

I was thinking about posting a day or so ago, but I've been so darned busy this week and out of blogging for a while. I'm back, though, for at least a few weeks. Same goes for photography. After my Christmas Break of film photography, I think I am ready for some digital, armed with a new lens (featured above).

School has been more pressing, as you could deduce from the first paragraph, but I'll reiterate that again. I am taking two courses that fulfill the same requirement, which is kinda dumb, but it turns out those are my two favorites. They are both "critical thinking classes," my applied calculus class and my programming class. The worst part of both classes is that they are back to back, meaning on MWF, my brain has been stretched to the limit if both classes are intense, which is most of the time.

The rest of my classes are blah, except anthropology 301, which is really relaxed and is a social kind of thinking class, something I don't get hanging out with most of my friends.

I am really trying to get myself more into the word of God and more importantly into service. Denver is helping me with that. Right now I am tossing around ideas of what I want to do in the name of God this semester and this summer, other than living in a godly way everyday. I know He has something big for me and I know it's going to happen, but I just don't know what and I pray that the day it comes I will be listening.

Other than that, I have been enjoying my five-day-a-week body building sessions with my future roommate, Jake. I've got some protein powder this week, so in a couple more weeks, I should be getting ripped.

I guess that's about it... again, thanks Mike! Posts should be a bit more regular now.
