Judge Dredd
By Sylvester Stallone, Armand Assante, Rob Schneider, Jürgen Prochnow, Max von Sydow
see relatedCaptain's Log: Stardate: Today
Status Update: televison.
Yeah, I have pretty much watched TV all day. I also cooked lunch and supper and searched for fabric online. Found two GREAT sites:
http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com
I have to wait until I get paid to get some, but I defitely LOVE the fabric and the prices are pretty fabulous, too!!
I am watching Judge Dredd with Daniel. It is very interesting. Sylvester Stalone looks almost pretty in it...pretty wierd....
Also I did this really cool thing on http://www.thatsmyface.com. It scans your face and shows you what you'd look like as a man, woman, different race, older...etc.... Pretty exciting.
I feel lazy, cranky, and...idk what else.
Just for the record.

Should Attendance and Punctuality be Such a BIG Factor in Your Grade in a College Class?
When you're 18, you're an adult. YOU have to make the choice of when you go to class...IF you go to class, and what work you do or do not do. I believe in doing the work you're supposed to do, but WHY should attendance and punctuality even be included in your grade?
For example, if a person goes to class often enough that, on the final, they score around 80%, should they not recieve an 80% final score? Obviously the person retained most (80%) of the information. Even if the person almost never went to class, why does it matter if they scored so well?
You will probably never get a college or university to denounce the whole attendance policy, but I WISH it could be done. Like I said, college students are adults and as such have the right to choose when they attend classes. And, again, if someone is successful in the course, why should the instructor even have reason to want them to attend more? They shouldn't. They aren't parents...they're JUST teachers.
Disatisfiedly Yours,
An Annoyed Student (Who DID Attend Class Very Regularly and Punctually, But Sees the Injustice Done to Others)

Thank God for 24 oz. Coffee!!
So, here I am again, having decided that there doesn't have to be a tasty slice of profundity in every sentence of my blog.
Well, me and Daniel are house-sitting. It's amazing so far!! We are alone in a nice house with satellite TV...LoL!!
They have a swamp cooler, so it's very humid, but I didn't get too hot, so it's not too bad. Daniel is more uncomfortable than I am.
I am watching America's Next Top Model...always fun...it inspires me to really strut my stuff...even though I'm not entirely confident in my "stuff". Haha....
Also there was a phone call this morning from this lady trying to get ahold of the person for whom we are house sitting. She was kinda snippy and wanted their cell number...I very politely said no, but told her I would let them know she called and everything. How odd....
I have these crazy dreams right now...like life dreams, you know?
1. Girls' ministry: I want to have a girls' ministry. I want every girl to know that God made them beautiful, no matter what they look like or where they come from. I want to show them that a heart and life that honors God reflects on the outside.
2. Regular Women Ministry: ...for lack of a better term.... I want to basically have a camp...maybe even a few weeks long. For normal people. Not models or whatever, but people who are skinny, chubby, average, blonde, brunette, tall, short. Same as the girls' ministry...I just wanna help these women to know how God made them and to increase their confidence.
3. Fashion Designer: Really only for myself, but I definitely need to learn how to do it...measure and apply that to the actual clothes. It would be SO amazing to be able to do that!! YAY!!
Well...I'm typed out...LoL...guess I'll watch some more ANTM...it's a MARATHON...YAY!! I'm irrationally thrilled....=-D
Catch ya lata, virtual blog reading gatas!!

Consider it Pure Joy....
Sometimes you just feel like blogging.
I'm watching Outer Limits. It's about this drug that allows you to bring back someone who has died...basically it's all in your head, but when they come back, they are REAL to you...you can touch them and interact with them. It's only for a short time, and the drug is pretty addicting.
How poignant.
It can become addicting to look back at what has been...things that hurt us...like a sore you pick and pick...even when it becomes a scar it reminds you of what it was. Always there...always sort of haunting you.
Well, I guess the point that is easily made is that the past will eat away at you. You will live it in your own mind and make it even more horrible and worse than it already is.
I have been guilty of doing this--living things over and over even though it hurts so bad to do so.
But is that what God wants for me?
I mean, primarily, God commands love and forgiveness for others. He tells us to pray for those who use us and spitefully persecute us. He says LOVE does not keep a record of wrongs.Whew!!
Here's the thing about me: You can hurt me over and over and I will be almost the first person to say please forgive me, I forgive you, let's be friends again, I love you. But if you hurt me bad enough and wound me deep enough, I seem to not be able to EVER get over it. It's a BAD way to be, I know!!
The problem is, sometimes LIFE just hurts!! People are mean, the weather is bad, dogs bite, bees sting, I feel sad...
But GOD is still GOD!!
But that also means that I have to do something. I have to OBEY Him in what He's asked me so CLEARLY to do in His Word.
Love, forgive, pray, write off the wrongs. God SAYS it. I have to LIVE it.
Love and Blessings,
Me, Caitlin

Another day...another blessing....
Well, today is Thursday. Nothing special about Thursday.
Me and Daniel are helping run sound for a funeral at church...probably with no pay, but it's a good investment in someone else. A blessing.
This is what no on realizes...or very few people. Daniel and I do what we do, because it's what we are supposed to do...not because we are obligated, but because we are called. We have a ministry that transends finances.
I'm not stupid, I KNOW we need money...I KNOW we have to pay bills and buy groceries and gas. I'm not completely naive!! However, God has given me a mighty faith in Him-- a faith that assures me of His faithfulness. I KNOW He will provide and I KNOW He will take care of us.
We do what we do because the eternal rewards are greater and the financial rewards are sweeter. Sure, we could essentially sell out and work full time in a high paying job, but it would just be a JOB. The money is a direct exchange for labor done. In our world, money is a blessing from God, granted to us when we need it the most.
We never ask anyone to pay our bills or buy food for us. We take care of ourselves...or rather...God takes care of us.
So here I go...another daily struggle to live in a world where everyone only cares about making money and being financially "secure". (Which, by the way, will never happen...what's to define "financially secure"?)
I pray that God will grant them all understanding, so we can all live in peace and love. Boy, that sounds hippie...LoL....
