Yes, bismark, I am mocking you.

Nephi's Bow; a Svithe
♦ 12/30/2007 02:34:00 AM 0 comments

16 And we did follow the adirections of the ball, which led us in the more fertile parts of the wilderness.
17 And after we had traveled for the space of many days, we did pitch our tents for the space of a time, that we might again rest ourselves and obtain food for our families.
18 And it came to pass that as I, Nephi, went forth to slay food, behold, I did break my bow, which was made of fine asteel; and after I did break my bow, behold, my brethren were angry with me because of the loss of my bow, for we did obtain no food.
19 And it came to pass that we did return without food to our families, and being much fatigued, because of their journeying, they did suffer much for the want of food.
20 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael did begin to murmur exceedingly, because of their sufferings and afflictions in the wilderness; and also my father began to murmur against the Lord his God; yea, and they were all exceedingly sorrowful, even that they did amurmur against the Lord.
21 Now it came to pass that I, Nephi, having been afflicted with my brethren because of the loss of my bow, and their bows having lost their asprings, it began to be exceedingly difficult, yea, insomuch that we could obtain no food.
22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did speak much unto my brethren, because they had hardened their hearts again, even unto acomplaining against the Lord their God.


So I was thinking. God will lead us through the more fertile parts of the wilderness, but it's still a wilderness, and sometimes we forget to look and see how fertile it really is, like when our "bows" break. Just because we run into trials, though, doesn't mean that our way is not still fertile.


28 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the pointers which were in the ball, that they did work according to the afaith and diligence and heed which we did give unto them.
29 And there was also written upon them a new writing, which was plain to be read, which did give us aunderstanding concerning the ways of the Lord; and it was written and changed from time to time, according to the faith and diligence which we gave unto it. And thus we see that by bsmall means the Lord can bring about great things.
"Understanding concerning the ways of the Lord" is given according to our faith, diligence, and need to know. Sometimes our need to know comes much later, though, and we can't always expect it in the "now." Never forget that it is by small and simple things that we can come to understand His ways, though.

We're not entirely sure how we're going to get everything back to Cougar Town, but I suppose if I have to I can leave some stuff here and get it when I come down in February for Presidents' Day weekend with The Boy (he still has to pass the cat test).

Anyway, we knew that eventually asking for this CTR ring would pay off. Now I don't have to steal The Boy's ring to choose the right (how ironic that is)!

And lookit my cute toaster! My roommates will be so thrilled. The toaster that we have in our apartment will only toast on one side of the bread and, I don't know about you, but I think it gets kind of old having to toast your bread twice just to get it toasted on both sides. It puts a picture of Pooh on one slice and Tigger on the other. So awesome and cute.


The generosity of Santa knows no bounds. We also received this adorable Precious Moments figurine that I fell in love with when I first saw it at Hallmark a month or so ago. It's so perfect because I heart Eeyore and I collect Precious Moments stuff.

It's been a wonderful Christmas. The Boy called, we got to take a nice, long nap, the cat loves me, we've been able to spend vast amounts of time with family... So Merry Christmas, everyone! Let's not forget the reason for the season, either. :)

All Nighters

Clearly I am out of practice on pulling all nighters. I keep falling asleep.

Of course, laying in my bed probably isn't helping matters any. It's OK. I have 4 hours to write 4 pages....

The nearer I get to the end of a semester, the more I start to freak out. Part of this is due to me being my father's daughter and trying the art of procrastination to the limit. For instance: I have a 10 page paper due on Monday and I'm not yet a full two pages into it. This results in a plethora of anxiety attacks and occasional break downs. Which, in turn, results in The Boy worrying about me (he's good that way). And tonight my teeth have been chattering off and on, even when I'm warm. And I keep shivering. We aren't sure what the cause is, but maybe I'm dying. And if I am, then all of my roommates get an A.

And now I'm on to continue the paper writing. Probably I won't be sleeping tonight or tomorrow.

A happy late blog day to me! I always miss it. I don't know why. Anyway, two years of blogging now. Amazing that some of you have stuck around so long. You should all leave your well wishes.

I think one of the best things about the new baby is the media center on it. I recently discovered a Heroes parody with The Boy and laugh myself silly over it. Seriously, good stuff. The black guy is my favorite because he can kick himself in the back of the head.

41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and ahappy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are bblessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out cfaithful to the end they are received into dheaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.

Toshi committed suicide the other night. We mourned. Mostly we mourned for all of our lost files and the fact that the hard drive is fried.

But lookit my new baby! I haven't figured a name for it yet, but I'm sure it will come. It's ohsocute and light weight and a beautiful, sparkly onyx blue. And that's all I have to say about that.

Or how I became handicapped on Thanksgiving day.
Don't worry. It's all better now. Mostly. I still can't feel where I got burned, though, on two of my fingers. I think they've permanently died.
