Final paper

I just wrote my final paper of the year, and the beginning section of it we were asked to write about our personal theology of ministry. I came up with a mission statement that I feel is very accurate in describing my outlook on ministry: "My mission, as a follower of Jesus Christ, is to have a positive effect on the lives of everyone I meet, letting Jesus' love overflow out of me and into their lives." It is something that is very easy to say, but hopefully God will help me actually put it into practice.

Freshman Fun

Freshman year has been so awesome, I have met so many unique and exciting people. I especially have come extremely close to all of the people on my floor of the dorm. So today someone came up with an awesome idea while they were at the store to buy a blow up pool. So we brought it into the lobby on our floor and it took about 30 minutes and alot of lung capacity to blow this thing up, because it supposedly holds up to 195 gallons of water. We finally get it blown up and are about to fill it up with water but our RA tells us it would probably be a better Idea to put it in the shower room. So we drag the thing over there and had a blast just sitting and talking in the pool and hanging out for a couple of hours talking about all year long. I'm glad to see that it is finals week and the fun has still not died up here, and we can still goof off and have fun doing anything together.
