The Passion


of Christ was amazing. Well let's start at the beginning. I missed Hebrew today for the 1st unexcused time (yep - alarm clock didn't work/didn't go off...). I just made it to Geography on time which is good because I have a final on Thursday (technically today I guess). I need prayer for that test if you're reading this - hey even if you're reading this after I take the test Thursday morning - pray anyway! There is no time with God and He'll still hear your prayers!! (was that deep or what?!)


Um work was pretty good. I had Duffy's pizza for lunch on campus. Good stuff....after waiting a lifetime of 20 min. for it (hey it was a 12 inch)!


After work I went over to CSF and helped set up. It went well tonight. We focused more about Christ and what He did for us on the cross. Gray and Green group combined tonight after the message (i'm gray so u all know), and I got to talk a little bit about Christ's sufferings - and I did a little "magic" trick thingy too - which I guess went ok. I also got a chance to talk with a few good friends tonight - like Jenni, Ali, Rachel, Stina, Michael, Angie, Andrea (just a little bit though - sadly), Chris, Greta and more.


I left pretty quick so I could meet my parents at Andover Cinema for the Passion. The movie was really something. I don't know if I liked it or not. I don't think that's the real question though because I'm not sure if you're really supposed to like it...   The violence was graphic - but to be honest I've seen worse (like in the Patriot). I lost a few tears and I never cry so it really got to me. To me it seemed to have a creative artistic flow to it as well. Also - Mary seemed to be getting a little more attention than I was hoping. But it's ok. It wasn't too distracting. Also I know little details in the movie were probably different back then (like Jesus being a wood carpenter vs. a stone mason...we could discuss that forever...or the disciples probably being teenagers - because Talmidim were young, or the nail piercing Jesus' wrists and not the palms...) but hey - it's a movie and it was still pretty accurate as far as the Bible goes. I would love to hear other opinions on it.


Well I better finish up a couple more things now and then study for my midterm. Please pray for me again! Oh I also got a letter from my friend Rachel in IL. I miss that girl. I met her on a retreat  I think last year(?) with MC youth group - meeting Ray's (my youth pastor's) old youth group. Please keep her in your prayers as well. God knows why.


 Ok goodnight!! Take care and God bless,


Micah (6:8)

I know it’s been since around Thanksgiving since I last posted on here. I wish I had a better excuse for not formulating a better journal since then, except to say that I’ve been spending more time just enjoying life rather than writing it all back down again! But I do need to get back into the groove so as to entertain myself in the future…reminiscing of wonderful events that took place in my life.  I guess a few of my friends only know of the life I post on Xanga so that’s another reason I need to stay current. G-d has just been so wonderful in my life recently and has blessed me with such a wonderful family and amazing friends! I can only describe the joy I have as…indescribable! It’s a feeling that is so unable to be expressed at times. It’s not even a feeling! Joy is so much more than that! Well – on to my highlights of the past…lots of stuff! If I “forget” anything – “remind me” and I’ll post it ;) Prepare to be amazed (or really disgusted!) at this incredibly long post! (Ps. Tod

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! You know – I feel like most of us in this country really take this holiday for granted, regardless of how much promotion it’s given and regardless of how much knowledge we have of our historical past. What we need to remember is that we came to this country to escape persecution and to worship G-d (aka Jesus Christ) in a way that contradicted the teachings of the king of England. Because of this we left and came to the New World, where we fought the Indians (making both wise and foolish decisions) and eventually came to be the great country that we are now. We are truly blessed…thinking of all the other countries that don’t have the same privileges that we do. Praise G-d for His everlasting love and His hand of protection upon this country still. I fear one day that the hand of His will no longer protect this country us if we continue to turn away from Him and go about our own way…               School has been quite busy. I’ve had so many papers to do, pro

Hey everyone! Yeah I know it's been a while!! I still gotta update - but it's ok. I have most of what i've done on my calander, so it shouldn't be too hard to update. I just missed my 1st class today (well I woulda been 10 min. late so I figured...screw it) so I just thought I would write a little about what's going on right now in my life. So grades are well....so far. As in all my classes and B in Hebrew right now. Not to shabby. This weekend is the retreat for CSF (Christian Student Fellowship) up at Camp Salie. I can't go Fri. night because of a frat thing, but I'm taking a few people up Sat. It should be fun. Um - Bush is still the best! If Kerry wins I'm moving to Canada :) Who's with me?! One of my hardcore Christian friends is very against Bush (because of the war) and doesn't really like Kerry either (because of most of his beliefs) but is either going to vote Nader (throw the vote away) or Kerry (not a good idea). So lets forget the war
