First two weeks at PCC

-I'm taking a Philosophy of Religion class at PCC (Portland Community College). It is your typical " 'Your okay, I'm okay' hippie lovefest" as Dr Finn likes to say (a professor as Southeastern). The Bible is treated as a nice myth like the stories of Buddha and Greek mythology. There are so many flaws in that line of thinking that i don't even wanna get into it on here. Nonetheless, for our second class assignment we made timelines of our life and i got to tell everyone about Jesus and why i love Him.
Please pray for me that God will give me wisdom, love, gentleness, and sensitivity in how i conduct myself in class. My "History of Ideas" education has prepared me well with what to say, my main concern is how i say it.

-I finally finished working on the logo and flyer for NCM. Since i have no previous experience with graphic design and i don't have any "real" editing software, i consider it quite an accomplishment. I hope it doesn't suck.

-The other day i spent 3 hours shopping and all i bought was a roll of dental floss. I hate shopping, especially for myself. I miss the good ole' days of just being content with what i got because it was free or given to me. If i spend my money on something, however, i want it to be perfect. and i'm cheap. I finally gave in and bought a new backpack and shoes online. That took about 20 minutes. Now all i want is a good waterproof winter coat. I want a coat that is somewhat form fitting. That is, i don't want big poofy arms. Only NorthFace seems to have what i want but i can't find anything less than triple digits. Did i mention that i hate shopping.

-The club fares are next week. Since we are a club its kind of a big deal.

-We are getting more involved with community service stuff.
We've started helping out a food pantry every other week, Sunshine Food Pantry.
There is a big dental and health clinic on Sat. the 10th. It should be huge. Around 15 churches are working together to put it on. I pray that it goes well.
Last Monday we did a bunch of yardwork for a lady at our church, and then we had our weekly meeting at her place. It was fun.
We intend to help the Portland rescue mission.
We also plan to raise money to build a well in South America.

-i'm sure there is other stuff, but i'm not gonna recount my whole life.
