These are various pictures from the year from various occassions. Two of them are from an 80's dance party (for Maranatha's B-day - the one of the roommates: Amanda, Monica, Maranatha, Sarah. And the other one of dancers at that party: phillip, monica, eric, leslie, Matt, Jacque, and more. Another one is from when I was trying to have a mustache: Ryan and Monica. And another is from a Who-ville party at graduation time in december. And yet another is from a photo shoot for a computer design class for Leslie... we were a band. And another one is at Tiffany's birthday suprise near the greenway.
And I titled this blog this way not for any good reason... but i did want to talk about how i am taking this class call Issues of Physical Science and Religion. It doesn't sound so interesting, but it just may be. I'm going to read alot of C.S. lewis books, homework is thinking in the shower, talking with friends, any comments, discussions, this blog is counting as homeworking, telling anybody about how i'm taking this class is qualified homework. so thanks for being a part of my homework.
let's talk about science and religion. Friends and Family answer my questions.
If a good God made the world why has is it gone wrong?
What is the good of drawing up, on paper, rules for social behaviour, if we know that, in fact, our greed, cowardice, ill temper, and self-conceit are going to prevent us from keeping them?
think about it..we need to realize something more than "it's the law." It requires courage and unselfishness of individuals... does this make sense?

YES it does. "It's the law"...what a bad reason! somewhere i heard recently that bad laws should be broken....or maybe challenged is a better word. Traditions...i think it goes for bad traditions as well.
and monica really sparkles in the picture of you and her. she's very beautiful. tell her that please. or hopefully she will come and see this comment. hi monica, hope you are doing well, i wish we were listening to your campers fight right now and laughing at them. Or sewing...have you watched project runway? I think we should write and apply to the show. it's a sewing show...not a modeling one....just incase you thought that I thought that we should be on a modeling show....well perhaps you should....(see first part of this message) but no, it's a sewing show! Tell your other roomies hi from me! Love Emily
I just read something wonderful in this year's devotional book. He said that "love freely given is the foundation of true happiness." Choice is the only way God could be truly good. Choice means His world could go bad. The thing that makes Him truly good in the face of that is that He provided a way to fix the bad, even though it was at a very high cost to Him. Someday everything will be good again, and the whole universe will agree.

I think it is worth writing on paper because even though we don't keep them well, many of us still try to keep them to the best our ability and that helps society. Little though it may be, we're still better off with it than without it.

But of course I still think behavior should definitely be more than following law! As we become more and more like Jesus law changes into will and therefore law is unnecessary. Good law, that is, Emily ;)
