another day of packing

So yea life has been really exciting:) See I get to put things in boxes and then I tape them up and write on them. After that I take them and stack them in the garage next to a huge pile of boxers:) Yes, so its not really that great but o well its life at the moment. O and if anyone wants to come over and help me feel free to call me and come over and hang out and pack. We do not start loading till friday night but really Saturday. So all you buff people that live in Texas should come over on Saturday or sooner. And even if your not buff you should still come over. Moving can make a guy go crazy. Right about now we have most things ready and if we could just get rid of some of it and put it in the truck it would do a lot of good.

So I am previewing the New Jars of Clay cd "Redemptions Song". It sounds like they took a lot of old hymns and re did them. So basically it sounds awsome. Jars of Clay is of course my favorite group I have now all but two of their albums. Okay the more I preview it the more I am ready to download the whole album right now. Okay so I dowloaded it:)

So incase anyone is wondering I got a new laptop. I got it for graduation. I got it a year early since david needs a computer for school and has taken my old one. So it is a powerbook G4 15in with some wicked upgrades. If your a geek and are wondering it is the best you can make the 15 inch powerbook model. To say the lease I am very happy and thankful for this. I will love being able to write papers with ease all around campus and already enjoy the mobility at home.

The quote of the day comes from a book I read this last semster called, "The Orthodox Way". If you are interested in learning about Eastern Orthodoxy it is a good book to read that will give you a nice feel for the way they think and believe. Also there is a lot of good pratical teaching that all Christians can gain from the book. There are some things in the book I would not consider to be in conformity with my own beliefs but that is understood.

"Metanoia (greek aliterated to english) as we have noted signifies primarily a change of mind! Correctly understood, repentance is not negative but positive. It means, not self pity or remorse, but conversion, the recentering of our whole life upon the Trinity. It is to look, not backwards at our own short comings, but upwards at God's love. It is to see not what we have failed to be but what by divine grace we can now become and it is to act upon what we see."

I thought that this quote shows a positive side to repentance.
