I know where the time goes. No where. We move forward in the biological progression of aging, but time is neither advancing nor retreating; time is the dependant variable upon which our stay on this earth is measured. Other descriptions usually dance around an oft mis-defined, over emphasized property of this world.
I bet you weren't expecting that, huh? Some times the most trite questions have the deepest answers.
(Really, I just threw that title up there and started typing off the cuff, but I felt like returning from my blogging hiatus on a high note. Can you blame me?)
I have been remarkably busy with full-time work and full-time school. My advice: if at all possible, avoid occupying yourself with both at the same time. Work is getting entertaining now, so I may not shoot myself in the face before this semester is finished. That's a positive. So far one of my classes stands out: Legal Environment of Business. This class is basically an overall survey of law, and I'm excited to discuss all things litigious. But honestly--as a former english major--I'm most excited at the prospect of me being able to properly use the word "heretofore" on a regular basis. That word is way, way, underused, in my opinion.
For those who do not know, I bashed my face into a rock on a very traumatic mountain biking accident. I suffered a hairline fracture on my cheek and orbital socket, trauma to whatever nerve branches off of the trigeminal nerve (the jaw one), a subcongentival hemorrage (popped blood vessel in my eye), and numbness to my face. I also might lose a tooth and I might have a small, but permanent blind spot. Ouch. Wasn't expecting that fall, that's for sure.
One thing that this has taught me is that I have far too much faith in my own control. I thought I had control of my mountain biking experience. I was very wrong about that one.
I thought I had control over my ability to not think poorly of my neighbors...wrong again.
I thought I had control over my future...wrong before, and wrong again.
I don't want to waste your time with a list of all the things I found to be in my "reserved for Britt's power" pile, for it would be just about everything I can think of. My question to you is this: what do you think you have control of that you need to give up to the Lord? I guaruntee that if He has chosen you as one of His children, He wants all of you, not just the "Christian" parts.
Finally, I love Whitney Goebel and Benji Wahlman. I love the fact that they are in________with eachother and that the only thing that they seem to ________more is Christ, and that's dang good.
Whit: Per your post on changing your major. I went through that whole doctor thing as well. I used to think that I had to bring something to a people in order to be effective. The truth of the matter is that we (Followers of Christ) must only bring the Truth. It's amazing how God handles the rest. (I know that you know that, but I felt like being garrulous.)
Benji: You are a rockstar, I just don't think you've realized it yet. You've got the body and the style, and you yodel better than Bjork. You are admirable to me in more ways than I care to mention right now. Keep on being sanctified (what a weird thing to say). I love you.
Shout outs....
Master Nagy: I love you for your encouragement at work and your shared eschatological focus. This world is appointed for fire, and there isn't much time. Get to work.
Lasty: I love you and your crazy indian-czech heritage. Here's to making the rest of humanity look far less attractive. Really though, you're just an awesome brother to me and a great friend. Let's record some more songs together and give some people some new songs that they can praise the Lord with.
Stu: Your.....brain.......is........frighteningly powerful. I don't know what else to say. You've read over 10,000 pages of text in the past month, maybe the past two weeks . I love you for helping me with everything I so constantly mess up. And, of course, for being a complete repository for every answer to any question.
Cheers.
