All About Some Passion

Ok, so I have been wanting to write this blog for sometime. I really don't know why I am writing about these three Passions of mine, but I am, so bear with me please.

There are three Passions in my life that I am soo grateful for. 3 Passions I love and think of often.

The first Passion that I am passionate about is Christ's Passion for us, his creation. His Passion typically refers to his crucifixion and resurrection. I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR HIS PASSION. I therefore want to be passionate about spreading the news of His Passion for all to hear and believe. There are many things I could write about His passion, but to do so, there wouldn't be enough volumes to contain it. His Passion brings life to all who believe and receive the grace that His Passion gives. It is life giving and life sustaining. We as Christians should be passionate about His Passion.

The second Passion I am passionate about is the Passion Conference. Passion has been around since 1997 with a desire to see spiritual awakening come to the college campuses of the nation and the world. Passion exists to glorify God, uniting students in worship and prayer for spiritual awakening in this generation. From the beginning Passion has been rooted in the confession of Isaiah 26:8: Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, for Your name and renown are the desire of our souls. As a result, Passion seeks to gather college and university students across the nation and around the world to seek the face of God, asking Him to ignite in our souls a passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ and a desire to spread His fame to everyone on earth. It is an awesome conference which I hope to attend again.

And finally, the third Passion that I am passionate about is Tazo's Passion Tea. It is my favorite tea so far. Susan Cook introduced me to this wonderful, delicious tea. It is both our favorites. "One sip of Passion tea brings a luscious explosion of flavorful hibiscus, subtle citrus, tart rose hips and a kiss of mango and passion fruit" --- taken from http://www.tazo.com/. If you are into hot tea, then Passion is one you don't want to miss!

Well, I believe that will do for now. I have to get to class (my first one was cancelled). Ugh...I do not want to go to Dr. Armstrong's class. Anywho...I expect many comments on this blog entry. I hope I get some at least. Later gators!

No More Sad Songs

I HAVE SOOO BEEN WANTING TO UPDATE THIS THING FOR SOME TIME NOW. I just haven't had time. But it is midnight and now I have time.

So today was surprisingly good. I was up late last night ::i'm starting to see a recurring pattern here:: preparing for an essay I wrote this morning in American Lit. I think I did well in my opinion. I wrote on three of the five Calvinistic principles as illustrated in the writings of John Winthrop, Anne Bradstreet, and Edward Taylor. Of the five Calvinistic principles (Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistable Grace, Perseverance of the Saints) I chose Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, and Perseverance of the Saints to discuss. Fun Stuff.

Since Dr. Armstrong is out of town for the week at some conference, I went upstairs at the BD building to see Ms. Hall and I chatted with her for a little while. Afterwards, I left the campus and headed toward home.

I decided to, instead of going home, go to Memaw's house to visit her (I try to do this frequenly). We talked for a little while and she asked if I had any plans for lunch and i said no, so then she proceeds to tell me to come with her and we got in the car and went on an excursion. We went out to Hayden (out past Corner School...if anybody knows where that is) to a fairly new family style restaurant called The Restaurant at Campbell's Field (click here to read a review about it and get directions). I was very impressed with it although it was a countryish restaurant. After lunch we arrived back in Mount Olive just in enough time for me to run home and get ready for work.

I then went to work from 1-close at Family. I worked with Tiffany and Kim tonight and we finished the remainder of the sales setup (except for the kids section). Today wasnt that fast of a day at the Fam. After work, I left the store and came home and ate a Tuna Salad sandwich which was in the fridge (thanks Mom!) and came in here to rest and watch tv and get on myspace. Since then I have been talking to Jeremy, Stephanie, Brooke, and Rach and all the while I was talking to them I was meaning to update my blog, which I am doing now. THERE! This is pretty much my day for today.

I now am about to get off of myspace and straighten up my room and go to bed and contemplate what I am going to post tomorrow (hopefully). I have been wanting to write a blog about Passion recently. So hopefully, since I am off from work tomorrow, I will get a chance to write this blog. By the way, I am free tomorrow if anyone wants to hang out. Call me up. The only other plans I have for tomorrow is Praise Team Rehearsal tomorrow night at 7ish. Well, goodnight all. I hope I get some comments on this rare blog (yes, it is rare because it is pretty thorough and concise...well, it is a bit random also). Anywho, I'm out for now.

Later Gators!
