what a long week it's been! it seemed like this week would never end. the cs project took me much longer than it should have. yet, friday was a very AWESOME day! i got a final fantasy music cd ... it's pretty good ... i want to be a composer for the next final fantasy ... receiving it was just totally unexpected and it brought me much joy and happiness! i've really been blessed with awesome roommates. i know i've said it before. i'm kinda sad that i'll only be living with them for 3 more months or so. :-( h2o was awesome, too. i got a chance to talk to Kristen and Irene. i haven't talked to them in ages. we had a pretty interesting message on the occult. we didn't really get too much in depth, but rather had a message more on Christian liberties. friday i also had a good time talking to matt fong. i've been really stressed lately because since i'm pretty much the only regular h2oer that attends berkeley, i've been asked to start heading up some campus-outreach stuff. they have all these ideas, and i've just felt totally overwhelmed. matt and i were able to spend about 20 minutes in prayer just praying for the berkeley campus and praying that God would send someone to help me as I try to start planning some stuff. it's amazing. after we prayed i felt a huge load lifted off my shoulders. anyhoo, here's what i'm thinking of doing as a means of starting campus outreach. you berkeley people can tell me if you think it's a good idea. i was thinking of having these discussion forums for a week. you know, people would make a one hour commitment to meet for a week just to talk about issues: life, the meaning of life, hot-topics like war, abortion, and finally about spiritual issues - God, who is God, is there a God, is there one right religion. i'd have fellow Christians there to give their perspective without sounding too "preachy" ... i'd also buy food to entice people to come. i guess the purpose of this discussion forum wouldn't be so much to witness to people as opposed to just get people thinking and talking about religion and God. I think that's the first step. Also, it could help us build relationships with non-believers. i dunno. what do you guys think? anything need doing? -bj

What a loser! How often do you see GREG KRIMER at the hearst food court! I mean, c'mon! Dare he condescend to eat with us mere mortals? :-) -bj

God answers PRAYERS! let me tell you guys, it's been amazing watching God work these past two days. this week was gonna be my killer week with a midterm on monday and friday and a huge cs project on wednesday. all sunday and monday i was getting stressed over my cs project. i was working on it for hours and i still couldn't figure it out. the added weight of an upcoming physics midterm didn't help, either. i began just to get so stressed. it wasn't until i snapped at my roommate (sorry, buddy) that i realized that I couldn't handle this all on my own. I decided to give it all to God and let Him take care of it. Boy did he take care of it. The physics midterm didn't stress me out nearly as much as i thought it would (even though it was pretty bad.) stephen and i bought snacks and jamba juices so we could pull all-nighters. by God's strength (and a Jamba Juice Strawberries Wild w/ Energy Boost) :-), i was able to finish my project at 6 in the morning! PRAISE GOD! I definitely would not have been able to get through these past two days without Him. God is good all the time. And all the time, God is good. -bj

Dear God, Well, it's up to you know. I've had enough trying to do this on my own. I'm big enough to admit I'm not that big and bad on my own. I need You. It's kinda frustrating being so weak, so impotent. Yet, at the same time, it's comforting knowing that it doesn't matter that we're weak. You're strength is made perfect in my weaknesses. So, God. I give my problems and the worries and headaches of this week to You. Give me strength when I'm weak, peace when I'm stressed, and hope when I'm discoraged. Thanks, God. It'll be exciting to see what You do for me and through me this coming week. I look foward to seeing you work and move in my life. I love You. -bj
"That's just like going to church - it's a cult." I heard someone say this while I was in the bathroom. At first I was pretty shocked that these people thought that going to church was a cult, but this statement really got me thinking. How is Christianity different from a cult? I think the answer is simple: Christianity is the real deal. Christianity is the one, true religion in a world where hundreds of religions vie for one's allegiance. We serve a true and living God, not some dead prophet or some golden statue. God is real, and so is our faith. This seperates us from other cults. Anyhoo ... physics midterm tomorrow. I'll be praying for ya Thomas, Victor, Tiffany, & Carise. Hope you'll be pryaing for me, too. (I'm also struggling along with my cs project, but one thing at a time, eh?) there was a really odd (or funny) line from naruto that i wanted to put here in my blog, but i forgot what it was. -bj
