I'm giving in...

... to something heavenly.

Some girl turned the light out on me as I was taking a shower. I wasn't very happy about it but then I realized...

People will let you down. They'll turn out the light on you.. but Jesus, he never will. Yes, I was physically standing in the dark taking a shower but I was in the real light, the light of Jesus Christ.
The Lord is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear?
Psalm 27:1


I visited the Chimposium this morning and it was fantastic! For an hour I got to learn about the three chimps that live on Central's campus. I'm pretty lucky to have had the opportunity because they are world famous chimps. Loulis, who is one of the chimps is the first chimp in the world to learn an American language (sign language) by another non-human. It's a pretty incredible thing. Here's a fact for you... Chimps and humans are more alike than Indian elephants are like African elephants.

After visiting the chimposium and talking with my mom on the phone I realized that I want to learn sign language as well as Spanish. I know that God can use me in some awesome ways with knowing those languages. I'm excited to see what he wants of me.
