la la la.

- i am going on foothills college retreat next weekend... not very many people are going... but i'm sort of glad of it.  i need some real alone time with the Lord.  and i feel bad i've neglected REALLY involving myself.  i hope they bring a piano for worship... because i would really like to play during some free time...   i miss playing WITH people for worship... 

-i organized my files on my computer last night... sort of amazing how much i misplace simply because i neglect to save things where they should go.  now i have 2 major folders: "l'ecole" and "some art" with a few dividing folders inside of each.

-i want to go watch Where the Wild Things Are right now... on a screen in the middle of the woods.  IDEAL.

-i'm in love with hayden's sketchbook.  so inspiring. he is so talented and his ability to give expression to the most simple linework in a face is outrageous. i LOVE it.

-today will be spent doing a text set for children's lit and finishing the middle part of my Inductive Study for Luke Acts.

-I know what i'm doing my theme research on for the Inductive study... The Kinsman Redeemer type found in Boaz and the antitype in Jesus...
I knew I wanted to elaborate on the word "redeem" that is so rampant in the passage i've chosen... but i hadn't thought to take it out of the "purchasing" setting.  But of course the Kinsman Redeemer is straightforward as well and will be illuminating.

-Here is a list of books I want to buy in the next year for my shelves:

Austin:  Sense and Sensebility, Persuasion, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park
