A couple post-break thoughts

Well, I'm back at school again, and break was really relaxing, in case you were wondering. I didn't live up to my own aspirations for break, though, which really disappointed me. It took me quite a while to get into regularly spending time with God and in His Word, even with all the free time I had. After I did get back on track, however, I felt lame for not spending much time with my Father sooner.

I realized more fully how much I could care less for "normal" Christmas traditions, like trees, lights, and presents. One of my favorite amusements from break was getting a Family Christian Store catalog that had, "share the wonderfull gift of Christ" plastered on the front. I didn't add the bold lettering or alternate spelling of that, by the way...that was exactly what it looked like. Yay for consumerizing Christ. Share Christ to your friends and family by buying our stuff! Ugh.

Anyways, I'm really happy to be back at Spring Arbor, and I'm ready for the rest of the year. My spring semester is completely sorted out with my new major, and J-Term is going to be pretty laid back. Good times. Hope to hear from ya'll soon!

*Edit* - Also, just finished reading Brisingr today. Good book!
