I can't feel my TOES!!

So...I just played volleyball outside...in 9 degree weather...on a sand volleyball court...in bare feet...in the dark (well almost dark). I'm pretty sure I almost got frost bite. Seriously I don't think my feet have ever been that cold! We were all like shouting in pain. It was like playing on ice or in the snow. It was all wet from rain earlier today and then like just plain old FREEZING! But hey, it was kinda fun...a little...and my feet feel all warm and fuzzy...I can like feel my pulse in them ...

Soooo Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadians out there. I was supposed to join you all for thanksgiving dinner but someone forgot to put the turkey out so...it didn't happen. I was kinda depressed and almost went on a hunger strike but then I figured that was very thanksgiving-like...not very thankful so I ate the food. It was actually really good as usual (pork tenderloin and scalloped potatoes) so I guess it's good I ate it.

Oh and guess what!?!?! Last night we watched Pride and Prejudice!! (the new one so not that great but still really fun). Heather told me I wasn't allowed to mock it...but I couldn't helped it. plus everyone else in the room wasn't helping either haha. It's funny how we all get so psyched about movies now since we never see them. We all were like crammed in this little room with tons of pillows, popcorn, drinks, and chocolate. I was munchin' on Oreos and Peanut Butter and Jalapeno Cheddar Chips (from my dearest Bonnie!) and it was basically awesome.

Sorry, no theology today but I did put up some pics from the Mount St Helens trip so check em out.

TEN/TEN/TEN!!!

Did you realize this is only gonna happen TWO MORE times and then not for like another CENTURY!!! ya, I know, crazy right!!?! (what can I say, I'm easily amused)


So, I'm back, we made it safe and sound. It was pretty much completely and totally AWESOME. I got to see soooo much stuff and learn all this geology from a creationist, Biblical perspective. We saw tons of evidence for the Genesis flood and Lake Missoula Flood (a HUGE flood during the Ice Age) and then of course Mt Saint Helens which was amazing. We went with a legit guide so I learned way more than the last time we went and we also like, took a hike down to the valley floor and saw the huge canyons carved by the 1982 eruption. There is so much more to that mountain...more like a crater now...than first meets the eye. There is a little museum there called the 7 Wonders museum where they present 7 things that Mt. Saint Helens taught scientist and are evidence for a young earth, the Genesis flood - basically, the Bible! It was soooo cool to learn it all and SEE it first hand.

The whole trip really kinda made me sad though because there are so few who actually hold to the truths that we were learning. I mean, most the world follows evolution blindly but there are Christians - CREATIONISTS - who don't believe in a young earth or a global flood. So many Christian universities are teaching a LIE and it makes me so upset. I mean, LOOK AROUND YOU! Creation is an open book for those with eyes to see. There are things on this planet that make NO sense unless you get the answers from THE BIBLE!

And then there are those who look at the fossil record and say that "it's obvious there are millions of years of fossils here so the 6 days of creation can't be literal"...ummmmm since when does the CURSED creation trump God's WORD!?!?! hello people! If the Bible says it is so...then IT IS! Just because the earth today doesn't seem to match it doesn't mean you change the Bible to match the earth!!! If I'm not mistaken...you'd be making a LOT of changes because creation is disintegrating around us but God's Word will endure forever so...what should be used as the truth here???

So ya, I'm kinda down about all this because there is so much truth to be seen if only you will look with the right pair of glasses - KNOWING the truth and finding evidence...not using 'evidence' to tweak the truth.

The wheels on the bus go round and round

Hey everyone!!! soooo I got internet again. We have been so fortunate as to be stopping at many places with free wireless and so I have decided to join the rest of the populous and get online.

We are currently at Mount St Helens...well, like 15 minutes away but, CLOSE ENOUGH!!! I was on the bus again yesterday and it was full of chocolate, snuggles with Lish and singing. We stopped at Dry Falls and the Feathers, which were SO cool. We climbed up on top of them and it was pretty fab. Some people gave us all heart attacks with their unintelligent feats of climbing. Don't worry, I stayed relatively safe.


We also went to Walmart last night because we were stranded! We couldn't get into the church we were staying in until 8:30 so we drove around, ate pizza and then went to Walmart. I bought a trail mix that is like AWESOME. It's got pineapples, papaya, macadamia nuts, almonds, cranberries, and more!! and I also got a SUPER CUTE HAT!

So tonight we are at another church and we're gonna be here for two nights and hopefully I will sleep well because we are all separated into smaller classrooms and there is only two other girls with me so it's all good. Tomorrow we go up to Mt. St. Helens!!

Well, I'm off to the shower! (we only have one...sooo we all have to share and my turn is up!!)

Ice, ice, baby

Soooo I got internet!! We are currently in...actually...I don't even know where we are exactly...but it was awesome getting here.

We stayed in the professor's house yesterday and I didn't really sleep at all last night...those who know my need for silence at night can guess what happened. Tonight...will probably be the same...oh man.

This morning we had three hours of class and then started out. I was in the backseat of the Buick with Josh and Danilo in the and Cally and Holly driving. We had a BLAST! we like rocked out the whole 6 hour drive. We would drive the Buick up past the other cars (2 suburbans and bus) and be like acting crazy and then once we went up and were like "sleeping" and then once we went past and we were having a pillow fight...things like that. It was SO AWESOME!! By the end we were dancing the Macarena, dancing to Ice Ice Baby, YMCA, We like to Move it, Can't Touch This, etc. It was so funny and we died laughing. I never thought I'd have so much fun with two random guys and Cally and Holly (Cally is an RA and Holly is the administrator).

So tomorrow I'm in the bus...maybe I will sleep - apparently it's another long drive. yay.

I'm sorry if this post made no sense...I'm kinda worn out... all that dancing ya know...

Well, tomorrow we're in Washington - going to the Grand Coulee Dam so that should be fun. Love you all and good night

Going, going, gone!!!

okay, so TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

I can't write much as we head out for our road trip in like 2 hours!!! I will be bringing my computer but I don't know if we will ever have internet so this may be my last post for awhile. I will be back on the ninth I believe so look for a post around then.

Some updates: I totally did it! I was vegetarian for a day! (I almost wrote a "find your inner woman" about it but decided it wasn't that great an ability to be vegetarian...well I mean it takes A LOT OF EFFORT but, it's really not that admirable...jkjk)

Also I finished my 8 page paper and if you'd like to read the "Four Periods of OT History", let me know and I'll email it to ya. Also, the test was today and I think I rocked it!

Just a side note, doesn't the Old Testament sound so gangsta when you call it the OT??? I love it. It's like the Word! haha, I know, I'm a dork but it is just amusing.

Anywho, I'm off now and I'll miss you all!!!! Don't get too bored without me! haha
