I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Well it's been a great year.
On Friday I'm heading back to Houston, then to Beeville on Saturday for Asham's wedding! Then on Sunday, hopefully, the Alief church will be able to meet at our building for the first time in... almost a month? Gosh.
Anyway, happy new year!
(close enough) |

the alief congregation is not meeting at our building this week, since repairs are being done on the roof (hurricane damage)
the elders encouraged us to have small group studies on wednesday night, and to meet with other congregations on sunday. here are my plans:
wednesday-meet with a few friends at their house. nathan and i are preparing the study.
sunday am-go to bellaire. sit beside mrs. banks, upon request :)
sunday pm-visit an arabic church. in addition to the edification, it should be a really neat experience and give me a chance to practice my arabic! |

we have already been listening to a couple songs from it for a while now, but it's officially out now and it's awesome!
#8 neon tiger
Run, neon tiger there's a lot on your mind
They promised just to pet you, but don't you let 'em get you
Away, away, oh run
Under the heat of the southwest sun...
I don't wanna be kept, I don't wanna be caged...
'Cause I don't wanna go back
I want the new day and age

as long as Will Smith plays him in the movie ;)
Seriously though, as Christians there are so many things which impact us in greater and more direct ways than who the President is.
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.... Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.... Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. (Rom 13:1,5,7,8) |

i am now minoring in "world cultures and literatures" because it's the closest thing UH has to "arabic studies".
some classes i plan to take (you basically create a proposal for your area of emphasis and run it by the program director):
*arabic (i'm in my third semester right now)
*political terrorism
*economics of development
*world cultures through literature and the arts
and a couple of other required classes
this should be enough to give me one "fun" class per semester for the rest of my college career.
i have decided that contentment applies to academics as well :)
