My weekend thus far

Well, it's another sunny day here in Montana. I like sunshine and all, but I have to say that I REALLY miss the Petersburg rain! It's pretty chilly in the mornings and nights though, so fall and winter are definitely on the way...or maybe it already is fall ???? I love fall...

Let's see... so far my weekend hasn't been terribly exciting, although I did make some applesauce oatmeal cookies the other day. They were more on the healthy side as far as cookies go, but they were still pretty good. I might make some more today because I still have some applesauce that needs to be used... or maybe I should work on homework instead. =D There is a lot of homework to do here, but it's not so bad as long as you stay on top of it...it's the writing assignments that might kill me. I really like to write, but I have to write three papers (not counting several book critiques), and it is going to be kind of challenging because I have to use a certain amount of resources for each one, and only 3 of them can be an internet source...rats.=) One of my papers is for my Survey of Doctrine class and I picked the topic of spiritual warfare...it has to be 10-15 pages long, but at least we get to double space. Yay! Then I am going to write a paper on the Auca Indians for my Missions class, and then my other paper has to be on a topic of interest in the Old Testament...still haven't figured out what I am going to write for that one.=)

Last night I watched an interesting movie...well, actually, I didn't watch the whole thing...but anyway, it's called "The Sin Eater". Yeah, I know, it sounds really weird and freakish, but it was actually really good...I would recommend it! The acting is slightly cheesy in a few spots, but its a good movie...good story and plot, and it explains the gospel really clearly in the end.

Alrighty...I need to find some breakfast...bye for now!

'nother blog

G'day. I thought that I would take this opportunity to blog...my brain is a wee bit fried after writing up my doctrine statement on Revelation and Scripture for one of my classes. It helps that the teacher gave us a sample statement to look at, and that we are able to plagiarize a bit.=) He's the one that typed them up, so it's legal and everything...no worries.=) I think I have it finished...it was kind of a fun thing to do actually and it is good to check up on what you believe.

There's been a nip in the air the past couple of days...it feels kind of nice. I am looking forward to fall although, I think it is supposed to get back up to the eighties in a couple of days. I've been trying to send some sun up to Alaska (it's been pouring down rain up there) but so far it hasn't worked. Sorry guys! Maybe I need to try harder...=)

I think I need to go for a walk or something tonight...I've been cooped up all day with school and homework...aaahhhhh! Plus, I have been drinking a Rockstar which has energized me a bit...I was SO tired this morning...I was practically sleep walking to class this morning.

Well, this was a short one, but I should probably work on some more homework...bye for now!

Yes, I'm Still Alive

Well hello! I just want you to know that you are a kind and special person for reading my blog even though I haven't been on here in so long. Bless you.=)

*Clears throat* well, I'm in Bozeman, MT now, attending Montana Bible College. Although this is a great place, I am having a hard time... I miss home!!!!!!!! I have learned a lot in the time that I have been here though, and I have met some really neat people. I am sharing a dorm room (it's actually more like a small apartment) with three other girls, which is going pretty well so far...no cat fights yet.=) The classes that I am taking are really good, too...my favorites are Survey of Doctrine, Bible Study Techniques, and Genesis...I'm taking lots of notes!

Right now I am wrapped in a blanket sitting on Alisa's couch (she lives downstairs)...I feel like I could fall asleep...quite cozy.=) Plus I didn't fall asleep until about 1:30 this morning. Argh. Apparently I was wound up after watching "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". I'm a sucker for classics. I also watched part of "Clue" the other night...it's an older movie based on the board game "Clue" (imagine that). Anyhow, it was quite peculiar.

Yesterday night we had a pretty incredible lightning show. It was really cool. I was on a walk with one of the gals from the dorm and the sky was all black and purple-ish and then lightning would flash and light up the sky. And then, the most exciting part... it RAINED!!!!! Practically unheard of around here. It was absolutely delightful... I fell asleep listening to it drum on the roof.

Well, I believe that is all that I have to share for now... good bye for now!
