Love, is a marathon. That's why you get so tired so fast of everyone. Slow down and face yourself. Cause when it's good, it's is a long, open road. You're exhausted, always comming down, trying to come up for air, trying to act like you just don't care. Love is a marathon...

Too Little, Too Late.

All this searching yet my destiny is still unfound--makes me realize this world will always let me down. So it seems that the only hope I ever had was everything that You are...I'm falling down, tumbling after You. I'm overwhelmed, tripping over simple truth. In all I've found there's nothing that's more beautiful than what I've found in You.
"Tumbling After" ~ Starfield


Note: My kadaver lab has become my favorite class in my schedule by a landslide. Due to my lab partner and I's diligence in our prelab assignments and reading, we usually take one out of the three hours to complete the actual lab. The next hour is spent pretending to study, read notes, make summary diagrams when again, due to our diligence as keeners, we have already done all that we can. We simply play this charade to please our lab TA. That is more than I can say for the final hour for in the final hour--all hope is lost as our attention spans are shot and we begin telling stories that the whole lab then evesdrops on. Before we know it, the class is laughing at our jokes that we weren't even telling them directly.

Highlights of the day...
- 'Petit Dance Parties' in the bathroom with girlfriends--followed by the burning of ones upper lip as one uses her flat iron as a microphone to sing along to her favorite song.
- Don't you just love it when you're sitting minding your own business when you get drug into a conversation you'd rather not be a part of? Well today, that innocent bystander was me as I was reviewing the components of the cardiovascular system. There I was and some person (I don't even know her name) starts quizzing me on some pretty personal aspects of my life to try and prove a point to her friend. Despite the awkward moments that followed, I was honest with this stranger--I used the opportunity to share my faith with her explaining why I was the way I was and why I made the decisions I had made (that seemed to be so foreign to her). God works in mysterious ways...
- You know you get off topic and have slight attention span problems when...your TA reminds you and your friends at the beginning of the lab with a smirk on his face to try and avoid talking about animal cruelty this week (it's a long story involving my days at the golf course where the guys I worked with and I used an industrial blower to shoot a dead squirrel/golpher at the bunker crew). To this my friend replied, "Don't worry--that's last weeks news! We'll find a new topic for you today, don't you worry!"

Anyways, now I am off to get some work done so that I can enjoy the rest of my day in all it's fullness. Keep on smiling all!

For we walk by faith--not by sight...

You know whats funny...I had lab this morning and I don't really remember much about it. This could be due to the fact that it's the start of my third week in a row with only getting 5 hours of sleep. Jim's don't like 8am labs. The good news is that we started learning about the IP3 secondary messenger systems today (the ones you were telling me about before)

The only other good news I can think of in response to your blog is that it's cool that you're sharing your faith with anyone and everyone you come across. God tells us that we should always have a reason for why we've chosen our faith, so that we my share it with those who ask.

So I'm really hungry now, and while it's not that I don't like giving you messages, it's just that I tend to need food, as typing this long comment has consumed alot of my energy, which i must now go re-gain.

Stay strong,

Jimothy

Jess: All is okay--just like the song!

Katrina/Kyle: I am truly going to miss that lab, it really is some of the best times this year!

Jim: I totally love the 2nd messenger system--you really go more into depth in Biochem of the whole topic of signal transduction--so if you like that you'll love biochem!
