I can't say enough how much God has blessed me in my life right now. Just being here is an amazing gift. Yesterday in a CCA (Center For Constructive Alternatives) lecture the evening speaker said he thinks far too many people go to college. I disagree. Well, I don't think everyone needs to go to college, but I do think everyone needs an opportunity to learn about Aristotle and Benjamin Franklin and Machiavelli and Dostoyevsky. We read here; that's all- guided discussion, good explanations. So if people can learn what we learn here without coming here, then they ought to do it. I don't see how a man who has benefited from his education and the person it made him can say that not everyone should improve themselves by learning to reason and remember.
Actual classes are only one way i've been blessed here! My roommate is so wonderful. She and I are so close already, and she's such an encouragement. Please pray that she can come back next year! If she doesn't have enough money, she'll have to go to Eastern MI instead, and I will be very very sad.
Our friends right around the coner and up the stairs are amazing too. Amy and Natlie and Mary Beth all pretty much live in mine and Clara's room, anyway :-) They're here almost evening to talk and do homework. I love it.
My everyday life has its little blessings too. Right now I have Bebo Norman's new CD turned all the way up (not very loud) and am singing right along.. because Clara's in class ;) I would be so sad without my music every day. I would rather sing than drink coffee.. and that's something I love alot too :-)
Constantly on my mind? New Horse!! He's big enough for the boys to ride, so he's sort of everyone's, but he happens to be my dream horse, so I'm really excited. He's a big, beautiful Throroughbred gelding, affectionately known as "my man". lol.
Actually, the greatest blessing is that God walks alongside me every day giving me strength. I get tired, and I get tired of studying. I miss my family, all of you, and I miss home. But Mom and Dad support me, and He holds my hand every minute and makes it beautiful. Thank you, Father, for everything. :-)
