MLIA

The other day, my cousins, my brother and I were at a hotel. We were watching a dvd on my laptop while my cousin was in the bathroom. My brother then yells, "The computer's frozen!" My cousin then yells back, "Then turn the heater on!" I love my family. MLIA

Yes, I read mlia.

My life is pretty average today.

Ramblings.

Today was the first rehearsal for the BSU highschool honor band. I did it last year and it was soooo much fun. Our conductor was awesome. My best memories from it are going out to eat and carpooling with Bekka, Kristin and Jonathan and this one brass player asking the conductor in the middle of rehearsal if he could give him a hug. It was pretty funny.

ALL-NORTHWEST IS IN 20 days!!!! I seriously CANNOT wait.

I've been reading about the Challenger Space shuttle. My teacher was telling us about it today. I watched the videos of it exploding, but I also watch the video of the VIP spectators watching it. This group of people included the parents of the 7 crew memebers. It was heartbreaking. I can't even imagine. I kept thinking about the crew members. What were they thinking while they were in the shuttle? Were they scared? Excited? Did they have any doubts or regrets about what they were doing? Did they know they were going to die or did they die before they even knew what happened? Think about all those little kids that were watching their teacher go up into space. They are all probably in their thirties now. That moment, 25 years ago, must be a moment imprinted on their minds forever.


I gotta go to bed. Pronto.

And as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on me

In class, my teacher often talks about how when God looks at us, all He sees is Christ. He sees us as perfect people. But, how can this be? We are so incredibly sinful. This is the message of the gospel: Christ died so that we did not have to bear the burden of our own sin. He died the death we could not die. He switched places with us, in a sense. God looks at us and sees the perfect man in whom He is well pleased. Amazing.
