Philip Melancthon:
"Today, Martin, you and I will discuss God's governance of the universe,"
Martin Luther:
"No, Philip. Today you and I are going fishing, and we'll leave the governance of the universe to God."
I am very glad that God leaves me to play video games and man the computer lab, write poetry and hammock, enjoy the fellowship of my friends and live, love, laugh while he takes care of the bigger picture.
As a theologically minded control-freak, I constantly want to know what is up when it comes to God's will, direction, and action. But I don't, and since I don't foresee me becoming God anytime in the near eternity, I never will. So I'm going to ride my bike.
What are you glad you can do instead of worrying about God's governance?

Overnight Hammocking
Last night my friend Andy and I slept in our hammocks instead of our dorm rooms. I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty dang cool. However, I must qualify it's dang coolness.
First, it is very difficult to sleep in a hammock, as it is not flat like a bed. That problem will hopefully be remedied next time we do it, with a little adjustment of the hanging technique.
Second, people are ridiculous. First, at about 2 AM, there was a group of 5-7 seemingly intoxicated people that came out to the pod-living structures near where we hung our hammocks, and proceeding to be ri-dang-diculously loud and obnoxious. Also, at a approximately 4 or 5 AM, two people came over and something along the lines of the following:
Overall, it was good though. Out of the 6 hours we were out there, I slept probably 5. Next time, though, armed with better technique and hopefully a better location, we should be solid for the whole night.

"Hmm, I wonder what these are?"At which point one of them proceeded to lean down on Andy's hammock, which he had drawn over himself and was therefore not visible, to which he replied "Who's there!?"
"I think they're hammocks."
"Yeah, it looks like that's what they are."
"Oh F*CK! There's f*ckin' people in these hammocks!"Which of course was very conducive to sleeping.
