DEATH!

40 min bike ride to the drug testing center...40 min wait...50 min back of dehydrated death in the heat! Santa better bring some great toys for this elf! UGG!

Vow

I have vowed..no more plasma for money. Back to total relience on my parents.. EEEK! you don't know how much i despise and feel bad for that! Yet i know at this time in life i have to. Off to purchase even more art supplies right now! Oh man...

A soldier in arms

Many of you know who this is..please keep our brother in CHrist in prayer. I can't imagine how hard it must be over there. Have a great day.

Friends, I have much to tell, but little time, so I will write all I can andmay have to finish this later on with a part two. First of all, we were onCNN yesterday. Any of you who caught the memorial service for the fourfallen soldiers here in Baghdad yesterday, that was us. You can actuallysee my building in the background. Things are very somber here, as I havetold previously due to casualties recently incurred. Last night I sat in a chair with a neighbor in front of our buildingsand listened to a battle that was close enough to make out everything. Itwas just outside the wall that is only about 50 feet from my room. Dont'worry, though, as at no time did we feel in danger. We have multipleAirborne units here, and these dudes are bad. We listened to this fightlast night, mostly gunfire with an occasional tank or grenade roundexploding for over and hour, and there was one point in which shots wereheard non-stop for over twelve minutes. It is unlike anything I have everexperienced, and it was very close. Fortunately we did not have anycasualties, and that is where I will leave it. Work is going well despite minor frustrations due to being inBaghdad and not in Dallas, so far as resources, not the actually city. Myinternet connectivity is extremely limited, so bear with me while waitingfor more personal responses, but I assure you I will respond if you writeme! Well, I have much more to say but not the time, so for now know that myheart and my prayers are with you all. Know each of you makes all thedifference in my life, so thanks! I love you guys tons!Keep Up the Good Fight, J.R.

Ug buys ugly houses...

Ug, has been the word on my lips this past week.

Things have been so hectic here at ASU since coming back from Texas this past weekend. I spoke at Navs on tuesday about Holland which made me EXTREMELY nervous and stressed. From what i hear most people didn't notice how much i was shaking or the fear in my voice. Then i had a paper due friday i hadn't started..on thursday i found out our professor was going to push it back until monday. Now i have to restart since he doesn't like my thesis! At least i have more time! i also have the final draft of my english paper and an art project due. Get to go buy more art supplies for that tomorrow with money i don't have! Therefore, plasma is first tomorrow..although i am concerned about it taking up my time.
In other news, our first meeting of the Best C bible study was on friday followed by the Legend of Zorro! It went pretty well, i felt out of it so i truly hope the message came across. Katy is leading next week(yes, that katy) and i am really excited to hear about what God has been placing on her heart and how He has revealed himself to her this past week. Whoa! i just realized the time and better get some sleep. Love you all, thanks for visiting!

Anyone else need a trim?

1st class

i forgot to mention, i totally understand Brian Regan's interpertation of first class since i rode in it for 34 min in my Autin to DFW flight!
Also, quote that made me smile..."if our country elects (HIlary Clinton), i will take that as confirmation that God is leading me into foreign missions!" -Jeremiah

Pain

So, i just wrote something really long on my xanga and really should be working on my paper right now. Confusion stirs within..and stress..don't forget stress. interesting conversations in Texas with siblings this weekend and the words to the song i wrote in Holland stating "It is feeling i fear" seem to be striking true to me ever-more-so right now.

The only art...

The only art i can succeed at right now is the art of losing...

2-D design is intense..i am getting tired of it! i stayed two hours for nothing today. no joke, we were getting reviewed by her and sat there waiting and after 2 hours 57 minuates had passed, she had still not gotten to me. She told us we could leave once we were done...i never even got to start! now i have to go back another day. oh wells, that is how my life is rollin' these days. How's life for all of you? Lately, i'm missing the CBC Agape life. Oh four-bucks! how i miss thee! the laughter, the fire-trucks, the joy.

"Part of abiding in Christ is finding Jesus where we are at." -Emily C.

Ahhh, smores, open vuur bij mijn huis...memories. i miss you guys..more than you know. Thank you for helping me see Christ in you.

Toy Story Moment...

You know where Andy and Woody are dancing around and the song comes on talking about how good friends they are...i have always wanted that in life.
God may not choose to rely thing like that to me..but he does give me some pretty great insight on who he is through others. Happy birthday Katy..no more embarrisment from me ok...i think i did that enough at http://www.xanga.com/frizbe21! Love you, may he assist you to see his presence and become a woman of God through and through over this next year. I would never do anything to intintionally hurt you. Can't wait till we start 'through painted deserts' do you find the first word in that ironic? or the fact we live in a desert? Take care. see you soon.

Dear SB,

You think you are so mysterious and yet before the e-mail i figured out it was you. You call and i love to talk when not in class and when having ample time. I saw Julie Andrews and thought of you for the following week. You think you are SO sneaky, and i love you for it. :) So mom, this post is to you...i don't mind people knowing you check my site..it makes me feel loved. So SB, Strawberri, Phyllis, and mom..enjoy your day, know you are loved, and continue working to become a woman of God through and through.

game day

DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT THE GAME!!!! ASU SUCKS!
