Chloe seems fine, but really she's just psyched and hasn't slept for thirty six hours. That's all.

G.K. Chesterton
Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.
Cicero
Other relaxations are peculiar to certain times, places and stages of life, but the study of letters [books] is the nourishment of our youth, and the joy of our old age. They throw an additional splendor on prosperity, and are the resource and consolation of adversity; they delight at home, and are no embarrassment abroad; in short, they are company to us at night, our fellow travelers on a journey, and attendants in our rural recesses.
Wendell Berry
Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed.
Samuel Davies
The greatest number of mankind beyond comparison are sleeping under ground. There lies beauty mouldering into dust, rotting into stench & loathsomeness, and feeding the vilest worms. There lies the head that once wore a crown… There lie mighty giants, the heroes and conquerors… the Caesars of the world… There lie the wise and learned, as rotten, as helpless as the fool.
Leo Tolstoy
Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.
Arthur W. Pink
The apprehension of God's infinite knowledge should fill the Christian with adoration. The whole of my life stood open to his view from the beginning. He foresaw my every fall, my every sin, my every backsliding; yet, nevertheless, fixed his heart upon me. Oh, how the realization of this should bow me in wonder and worship before him!
C.S. Lewis
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.

whoa, you look freaky Ruby :P
Is Chloe really psyched or has she just downed a case of Dew???
Just FYI, it's jet*lag*.
Ashley:
I always look freaky.

Really, I don't know. You'd have to ask her, because she might come up with some completely wild explanation... like yours. :P
Anonymous,
That's actually funny... because the day that I saw your comment, I had been walking down a street, and I noticed a sign that said: "Jetlag" and I thought: "Oh no.. I bet I'll get back and somebody will have said something on my blog" and sure enough... *shrugs* Well there you go. And thanks for the corrections. :)
You look fine, Ruby, you just look tired. Traveling can be draining, but fun at the same time.
Speaking of traveling, can you please, please, please pray for me that God will make a way for me to go to the Phillipines to do either mission work and/or ESL Teaching.
My major in college was English, so I really am anxious to make good of my education.
I don't know where God wants/needs me, but I feel as though I might be called to the Phillipines. Please pray that it is God's Will that I get this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Thanks!

Have you ever felt like I do, like you really want God to use you and you know that He will, but you have no idea in what capacity, or when and where and how?
I feel as though God is calling to more, but I don't know what that more is exactly.
Discerning God's Will for our lives can be frustrating and uncertain. I'm glad you're traveling, I want the Lord to use me in the same way.
Your Neighbor in Christ,

Can you pray for me please about going to the Phillipines?
