Relearning

So today brings me the second round of classes (still under way), the second chapel service, and the upteenth orientation event.

"So what's blowing your mind?" you ask? Or "I definitely did NOT just ask that" you say?  Well, either way, here it is in a macadamia nutshell:  I am having to RElearn God's will!  Thanks to the spiritual saturation of the entire campus, I spend every waking moment thinking about His will.  It is both exciting and madenning; my heart is pumping adrenaline like steroids and my brain is begging for sleep like it's a 5 Hour Energy or something.

Each new day, though, God would have me reevaluate the new day like it's going to serve a huge purpose in my life...so wait, then...EVERY DAY has this big purpose thing going on?!?

Prayer:  Lord, give me strength.  But, even more than that, give me more passion....  Because this child is determined to follow this through, to see that You get every last ounce of the glory and happiness you deserve.  It's going to be impossible, but it will be accomplished!

Alone, with a billion other people...

It's almost surreal, posting my life on a billboard in the virtual downtown of Earth, where traffic is an understatement for the overhwelming flow of people going through.  And yet, to have a blog that no one reads, to be alone.

Ha!  I have a blog and it is the most private activity I can participate in on the Internet.  How ironic.

I must say though, it is rare thing to find peace and quiet amidst the planet that never sleeps.  While people shop, socialize, and/or demoralize themselves, just as a microcosm of an actual downtown city population would reflect, I am tucked away in my own little corner of this pixelated concrete jungle, typing away for my own entertainment.

I am truly alone, with a billion other people.

Canoeing

We set sail (with no actual sails) tomorrow on a great voyage down the river. We are going canoeing! I'm not exactly...proficient in my canoeing skills, but it's all about fellowship. It's all about fellowship...
It's all about fellowship.
I have just about convinced myself. Ha. hahaha...ha-he-haha...

I am kidding, of course. Perhaps, though, it would help to have gotten more than the beautiful four-and-half hours I am about to attempt to get, but the thought of going to sleep, for some reason, is not as fun as the thought of being asleep.

Soo...This is what it's like...

Blog...blog blog blog (sung to the melody of the villanous bum bum bum!).

I always kinda wondered what it would be like to have a "blog."  So this is it?  Hmm...

Yokay, I guess I'll see ya later =~)

Much love,
Zac Smith
