::office hair::

So everyday I fall into the monotony of blow drying my hair and ending up with a Farrah Fawcett look- you know curly and big- which is nice but eventually boring.

So today I went looking on the Internet for some tamed or office appropriate hairstyles. That led me to typing in "office hair" into the Google searcher. Oh I am so naive, but what I found made me giggle almost the entire day. I hope it entertains you also.....

Here is a teaser.....

::strike a pose::

A couple of weeks ago I tried a new thing. I had my camera in my hands with new batteries and had an itch to take some pictures, but not just my usual flowers and stationary objects instead people (actually more like a person). So I went on my search for my first victim and she happened to be an already "dolled-up" Danielle (she was going to go out on the town with the girls later). She was so patient with me and attempted any pose I asked of her, even in a dress and high heels and always had a smile on her face. So I hope you enjoy the results::

Please note: These photos have not been touched up and were taken with my simple kodak easy share camera.

::Trader Joes: a shopping experience::

For a long time my friends have told me about this wonderful place to go grocery shopping called Trader Joe's. I had been curious about this place and had been wanting to check it out for a while but today I finally did. And boy was I surprised. First of all the prices are amazing, the store is mostly if not all organic and the cost of everything was about 2/3 of the price that one would get at a normal grocery store. Being a College student that is a wonderful concept. Second the organic thing, I was not taught the whole organic concept so I have been trying to educate myself about eating healthy and well. So this store is only showing me positive alternatives, which I appreciate. I promise you that I will be visiting this wonderful place again and often.

::Psalms and Proverbs::

Last night my roommate and I started a devotion that I hope to continue throughout the entire summer. See my roommate is my best friend and I wanted to continue growing our connection by growing closer to God. So we, actually I think I kind of suggested it (she didn't seem to mind), decided to go through two psalms and one proverbs each night we go to be at the same time and then meditate and discuss it. Last night while reading proverbs I realized how foolish I truly am. I wish I was Solomon and wise but often I feel like a simplistic Israelite who is never truly content in what God has given me. I hope to gain wisdom by fully appreciating what God has for my life and allowing the people He has planted around me to help me grow. Let this be my prayer.

::Funny Yellow Fellow:2::

So on one of our few sunny days this spring, My roomate and I wanted to go swinging in a park. So we had a wonderful afternoon of playing at a park on childrens recreational equipment. Well one of us (heather) had the bright idea to get into one of the fun pieces of equipment. And so she got stuck. After a few minutes of pulling, pushing and tugging, she was free to frolick on the other fun attractions. But this time inspired the next installment of funny yellow fellow.

::The Ground Trembles::

Yesterday at 4:30 am I got to experience one of natures most fantastic phenomenons, an earthquake, and then at 10:14 am I felt the aftershock. (By the way both times I thought I was crazy until I heard the news, the story itself is rather funny.) This is such a neat experience but also takes me to my knees.

The power of God places me on my hands and feet crying out his holiness. What an awesome and powerful God we have.

I don't know how to take this all in, but I do know that I am not worthy to serve God, but he loves me and wants me to follow him anyways. And I will gladly do that.

::Calling All Religion Majors (and minors too)::

Okay, today in my class we had a guest speaker and he first showed us this hilarious clip from a blog at Southern Seminary. For all those religion major and minors, you will know this book as the one that makes a great door prop. This almost 1300 page book otherwise known as Systematic Theology, written by the great Wayne Grudem. This book makes most people cringe, but today I found out this book inspired a very funny dance. All those who have dreaded this book need to see this song and dance about the one and only Wayne Grudem.
