The Untied Shoelace

Don't you love those little things in life that normally stress us out, but because of our present situation, we don't fuss over them?

Today for example: I was walking back from the cafeteria when I looked down and noticed that my shoelace was untied. But, seeing as I was barely 45 feet from my dorm, I didn't stress over it.

How awesome is it that we can take faith in the goals we have in life, and ignore the distractions? Ok, fine, a shoelace and sitting in my room are kind of far-fetched "goals" and "distractions." But, if we look at the bigger things in life, we can see where God provides us with a clear pathway, but then Satan will throw a distraction at us. If we are following fervently after God, we may not notice the distraction at all. And, if we are coming close to the goal, we will ignore the distraction and keep on keeping on.

Always remember the lesson of the untied shoelace.

Ahh...finally, good Christian rap

Yes, yes, you read correctly. Good Christian rap music.

I got the hook-up from my brother on a TON of music over Christmas break. But, I recently decided to search out the Christin Hip-Hop mix he got from one of his boys. And LO, I found quite possibly the best Christian rappers ever, not to mention that these guys rank in the upper-echelon of any rappers I've heard.

Ok, I've geeked out about that. It's Crawlathon weekend, meaning I finally get to go back underground. Laurel/Horn Hollow/Rimstone tonight, Bat Cave tomorrow and Sunday. Should I kilt it this weekend? (Outside the caves, obviously) I guess we'll decide later. It's about time for chapel (which I am not kilting it to, pending the 7 degree weather) and I need to finish getting around.

G'day y'all.
