The most beautiful noise to hear is worship.
The most beautiful thing to see is worship.
The most wonderful thing to do is worship.
See, I'm not used to worshipping with a mass of people. I'm, frankly, usually busy.
But tonight at our Christmas eve service I was able to worship. I sat with a friend and mentor as we held our candles aloft, and sang.
It was grand.
And, frankly, I feel the need to do it more often.
So, Merry Christmas. Keep the faith. Be jolly, merry, what have you.
Oh, and I've recently discovered and been unable to stop reading Allie Brosh.

So, at this time in my life, [you know being 17, a senior in high school and all that] I've begun thinking about college.
In all honesty, I want to go away from my home. I love my parents, I love my sister, my dogs, my drooling cat, and my house.
But, I know that if I stay here, it'll just be harder to leave later on. So, why not just jump now?
So my number one college has been Howard Payne University, in Brownwood Texas. [My dads old uni.] I applied and everything a few weeks ago.
My counselor, who is freaking great, told me to give them a call the other night to make sure that they received my transcripts and what-have-you on time.
So, I did. And, I was told that the admissions lady would give me a call back. So, I made a cup of hot chocolate and sat on my porch to wait for this lady to call me back. As I was opening my door up, she called.
I answered and she told me she received everything. And then the news came.
"Your SAT scores are great, but you're GPA is just a little under what we need."
Which, is true. They want an SAT score of 900, and a GPA of 2.5. Well, I was stupid my freshmen and sophomore years, so I have a GPA of a 2.3 and my SAT scores are in the 1500s.
Oh well.
So, now I've been looking at colleges away from school that I might be able to get into. [Yes, I'm kidding myself into thinking my GPA is acceptable at the university level.] UW, W&M, Duke for kicks.
And then Richard Bland College. It's the junior college of William and Mary. Basically, it's my best option.
Now, just to convince my parents that me being 2 hours away rather than 30 hours/30 minutes is okay.
Oh, college. Let's make this happen.
