Under Attack

This semester I'm feeling under attack at KSU. I knew that in a solar system science class that "Big Bang" would be what was taught, however my professor and most of my fellow students totally discount creation at any level. Truth be told, I was expecting anything different even though I don't believe it or like it. My problem comes from the professor calling anyone who believes in creation "a super religious freak". I haven't been bold enough yet to say anything to him. I'm kind of afraid to speak up now because he is the only teacher that teaches this class and I need to pass it in order to finish my program. At the same time, I feel like I need to defend my faith but just don't know what is the best way to do and when the best timing will be. This isn't something that I'm very good at anyway.

Why?

Why is it so much easier to believe the negative things that people say about you, including yourself, instead of the positive things that people say? Am I the only person who struggles with this? I'm so quick to believe when people that I can't do something, although sometime my stubbornness gets the best of me and I set out to prove them wrong, but most of the time I believe it as truth.

Rough Week

This week has been rough. On Monday morning my step-dad's (this is who I refer to as my Dad) father passed away. I never knew Dad's father, but my heart breaks for my Dad. My Dad and his father had a very strained relationship, and now along with sadness there is anger and hurt and a loss for a relationship that never was.

Today I also found out that yesterday a friend from Xerox passed away. I haven't seen or talked to her in two years, since Xerox closed, but in someways that just makes it harder. It is sad that in this day of modern technology that we still lose touch with people who we use to see everyday and had a good relationship with because circumstances change.

This week has been another reminder to never miss an opportunity pass to let the people who matter to you know it. So dear friends, thank you for be such a blessing to me. Love you!!!
