How beautiful it is to be in the middle of God's will. He knows you and your needs so much better than even you do; why do we ever throw tantrums when he won't let us do what we really don't want? I am so glad that I am where He wants me; I would not be anywhere else. (Not even in Middle Earth!)
A million years from now I will be lucky if anyone remembers my name. A million years from now I will be doing really well if anyone can recall that I went to East Texas Baptist University. What is the likelyhood that anyone is going to remember (or that it will even matter) that I really goosed the unit 6 sightsinging test? However, it matters a whole lot now! We hates sightsinging forever! Hates it! Argh!
I had an interesting weekend; it was kind of hard. It is much harder than I thought to go back to school when LU is off; it it wasn't for the fact that I don't ever want our spring breaks to be different again I would with that ours was a week early so that I could rub it in for someone. I am not that mad; I will be fine. I am mostly bummed that I didn't get to go to The Masters Mission with my Dad and two siblings. *sigh* However having Elise over so we could watch Willow was really nice! I am soooo glad that she came over!
I hate Mondays. So, in the words of Marvin, "Life, don't talk to me about life." "I never could get the hang of {mondays}."

Horses and Honor.
I love Earthsea! My 'smile box' came yesterday!
The Lippizaners were WONDERFUL! I had so much fun! I want a pretty white horse now... Here is a link to the website:

What is a person's word worth? In the old days when someone said that they would do something, they ment it. Big deals were closed on a handshake. There was no worry about whether they would live up to your side of the bargin.
In todays world there is so little security like that now. A person's word can mean nothing, or it can be trustworthy, but you have to assume that is could fall through to protect yourself. One problem with being a person of your word is that you can become abused by people becuase you do keep your word. If you have a hard time saying no, you could be in some real danger!
Does keeping your word extend to everyday things? I think it does. When I say 'yes' in answer to 'will you...', I consider that binding, and a promise that I will do whatever it takes to uphold. Have you ever though about agreeing to meet someone as being your word? What does your word mean to you? I am not obsessed with honor, but I do feel strongly that your word is part of your integrety, your ethos. What does you ethos say to the world?

Well...
I meant to double post. Really I did. I am not going to copy all my other stuff now. So, if you want to read my last several posts, go here:
http://www.xanga.com/sonatinalina
I will try to double post, but the reality is that I kinda sorta like Xanga better- it is a novel distraction at the moment. Besides, I get more comments on the xanga site than this one.
