I've got only one more piece to do and I'm all done with my 2005 summer courses and I can then get a jump on 2006. I want to be done with all my course work before I get to school this summer... please help me stay diligent and disciplined Lord!

well we're down to crunch time with school... They've given me until APril 10th which is not far away at all... less than a week.

Still got a lot of work to do.

it's been tough staying focused on school... I have been really undisciplined and it's frustrating...

School work update...
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: general
Just as an update on where I am with school work:

been very distracted with learning how to do research papers... i don't think I did anything like this in college. I've done the rough draft for my jealousy paper and I'm about halfway through on my hope paper...

just found out that my repentance paper is 15 pages and that doesn't include a 5 page homework handout that I'm supposed to mock up with it!

I haven't even started some of the other general assignments...

I'm basically done with the addictions book but I have creativity and insight to read yet

All this and Marghie is going to be giving birth in 10 days and we're selling our house in Georgia here real soon and I'm teaching Sunday School on Sunday This is a picture of the boys at Christmas... now if we would just get some snow to go try that bad boy out!
