More Quotes

I feel like (another) set of quotes for y'all:

"Gently lifting hands to heaven,
softened by the sweetest hush,
a Father sings over his children,
loving them so very much.
More than words could warrant,
deeper than the darkest blue,
more than sacrifice could merit,
Lord, I give my heart to you!"
-"Dandelions" Five Iron Frenzy

"Oh to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!"
-"Come Thou Fount" Hymn

"Tis mercy all!"
-[I can't remember]

"I cannot think of One without being instantly surround with the splendor of The Three, nor can I discern The Three without being suddenly attracted to The One."
-Gregory of Nazianzus

"The difference between a friend and friend who is Christian is that, where any other friend stays with you for their own pleasure and sense of belonging, the Christian seeks show you the way pleasure and belonging were meant to be; unrelenting and ignorant of circumstance."
-A very good Friend from High School.

Laziness

Today I'm being reminded how lazy I've been over the last few weeks. I'm taking care of my financial affairs (bills, student loans, more bills, etc.) and figuring out what I need to get for my semester abroad in Slovakia. It's becoming more and more obvious that I should have started on this stuff before last week. On the bright side, I'm going to have plenty of money while I'm in Slovakia, but I'm near crushed by the weight of all the stress that comes with managing great gobs of cash.

On the Slovakia note, I'm dead excited that I've got less than two weeks left before I leave home to begin what I like to think of as "A Grand Adventure of the Slovak Persuasion." There'll be pictures a plenty here on the blog so please come and look. We'll probably be flying into Vienna, Austria so my first post once arriving in my new home in Slovakia will most likely have pictures of that beautiful city (if not, there'll be an angry rant!).

Looking to the near future, my last bit of time will be wasted on World of Warcraft. The new expansion pack "The Burning Crusade" comes out next Tuesday and I'll get my copy sometime in the afternoon (beauty of pre-ordering things like that). I look forward to most of the addition, but the pretty sweet thing I like the most is many of my old High School buds will be joining me on Hyjal to play with the new races added to the game. Too bad I'm likely not to be on as much after the first week.

Overall, I'm stressed, excited, and ready to get this over with and leave for Slovakia. I pray that I will!
