My first semester will be over in 9 days (5-9-07). I have 2 finals and a nice-size paper due in those 9 days.

My paper is on Sola Scriptura. I might post it, depending on how confident I am in it, haha, we'll see.

I am loving school. I won't lie, my first month of classes was scary. I was real unsure if I was suppose to be here mainly b/c the workload seemed too great. But after I learned how to eat an elephant (one bite at a time) things improved and I really started to enjoy my study here.

Here's the reason I'm posting, was so that I could have an excuse to post this quote that I came across in my research for this paper...

"The Cross alone is our theology." -Martin Luther (not King Jr. haha)

I'm hoping to post in the near future some amazing things I've learned and other things about faith in Christ that I've rediscovered and therefore re-owned. But until then...

A tornado-warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr Pepper."

you have ever had to switch from heat to AC in the same day.

you use "fix" as a verb. Example: "I am fixing to go to the store."

All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, insect, or mammal.

You know only four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Tony's

The local newspaper covers national and international news on one page, but requires six pages for local gossip and sports.

You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

You know whether another Louisianian is from New Orleans, North Louisiana, or South Louisiana as soon as they open their mouth.

You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good gumbo weather.

Fried catfish is the other white meat

You reinforce your attic to store Mardi Gras beads.

Your sunglasses fog up when you step outside.

Your ancestors are buried above the ground.

You take a bite of five-alarm chili and reach for the Tabasco.

You sit down to eat boiled crawfish and your host says, "Don't eat the dead ones," and you know what he means.

You don't learn until high school that Mardi Gras is not a national holiday.

You push little old ladies out of the way to catch Mardi Gras beads.

Little old ladies push YOU out of the way to catch Mardi Gras beads.

A couple of years ago BMW did a series of short films to promote their cars, but they took a very different approach to it. They hired the world's best directors, like Ang Lee, and didn't put the cars in commercials, but made intense short films with the cars in them. These short films won huge awards. I've always loved them. In these films is where I first saw Clive Owen, who's done a bunch of big movies since like, "Children of Men" "Inside Man" "King Arthur" and a short spot in "Bourne Identity" who is now one of my favorite actors.

Check this one out. I'll put more up...
