I'm Dumb

It is so stinking late- why am I still awake? Its a friday both my roomies are gone- one to work at cedar campus at the lovey dovey valentine's retreat and one to her new job at the ywca where she watches the shelter- poor kara, up all night, and then i think again tomorrow night. Anyways- I need to get my butt in gear about going to bed on time. Those of you that know me well are probably snorting in disbelief (travis) because we've had quite a few late night talks that have ended with my claiming that from now on I really will get to bed at a decent hour. What makes it all worse is that I have my stupid swimming class tomorrow, for which i finally got a new racing suit- though not a speedo- i'm betraying a lifelong alliegance. I would not recommend going shopping for that particular kind of item when you are- to quote something that lisa once said- in the "puffy" stage of working out- where you have new muscles, but your fat hasn't dissapeared. was not a fun time for carrie, but at least i'm working my way toward being healthier, and toward having less fat for a change, rather on the way up.
For all of you in the kazoo area i highly recommend going to third reformed on sunday nights at 5:45 for the Ray Van DerLaan (sorry if i misspelled his name all you dutch people) I was really moved, and it really gave a lot of practical context to things mentioned in the Bible, esp dealing with the last supper.

Quote
Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law." Note that it says "is" not "are" -a very important part, and I can really feel God working on me with at least the patience and peace part, but i think that once you being to aquire one, that the others seem to follow, or else, do you really posess the fruit?
