Finally Home!

I am finally home, here for a week of summer before I head back to CSM to work.  It's been relaxing so far, lots of sleep involved.  Now I'm sitting on Bethany's bed hanging out and it's pretty awesome.  I've missed her.  I've missed my whole family.  It's wonderful being home!

Too Quiet...

Today was my last final, I'm so glad.  I spent this afternoon walking peacefully along Clear Creek for a few hours with Ian.  The weather has been absolutely lovely!  Now I'm in an empty Weaver Towers.  Almost all the residents have left so it's quiet, too quiet.  I've only known my residents for a semester, not long enough to get tired of them.   This is much harder than I expected.  I miss them, a lot...

1 Corinthians 13:4

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

         Love is not jealous, nor does it brag.  In other words, totally unselfish.  If you are thinking of yourself in matters, you are not loving someone.  You absolutely cannot think of yourself and love someone at the same time.  The two are mutually exclusive.  Along those lines, love does not give up.  It is patient, willing to wait and to keep on going.  Willing to try, to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to show love.  It suffers long and is kind.  

Easily Entertained...

Tonight we had a Weaver staff cookout.  Joining the ten of us on staff was the cutest little field mouse!  It was under the bike lockers peeking its little head out.  Since we were grilling hamburgers, we had some extra cheese.  We scattered the cheese around the bike lockers and watched the greedy little mouse gather all of it.  The guys decided to test the little mouse's strength (and greediness level) and placed stacks of cheese nearby.  The mouse stole those too.  The guys then put rocks on the cheese (one double the size of the mouse itself).  Yeah, mouse stole those too.  Blake tried standing up against the hole.  Mouse went around.  Greedy, resourceful little mouse.
