I love this song

When The Rain Comes
Third Day

When the rain comes
it seems that everyone has
gone away
When the night falls
you wonder if you shouldn't
find someplace
To run and hide
Escape the pain
But hiding's such a lonely thing to do

I can't stop the rain
From falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain
But I will hold you 'til it goes away

When the rain comes
you blame it on the things that
you have done
When the storm fades
you know that rain must fall
on everyone
Rest awhile
It'll be alright
No one loves you like I do

When the rain comes
I will hold you

Today

Today was a pretty righteous day ladies and gentlemen. I slept late, did homework, and then went out. There was a huge get together at one of the bars on the strip for 1Ls during happy hour. So me and two of my roomates and another friend of ours went (I was the designated driver). And then, we met up with some other friends there. After a while, we decided to pack it up and head to the beach. We got some more snackage and stuff at the store and headed there. It turned out that our friend Jordan was a part of a private beach club. So we went with her and got into a prvate beach access ... the same one they filmed Spanglish from. :-) IT was gorgeous. We hung out and talked and jammed and then played volleyball and watched little kids learn to surf. it was a blast. When we got home late tonight, my roomates and I hung out. We talked, I cooked - we all ate. Then homework came. Tommy called - his knee is all ruined now, but life goes on...poor guy!! He's commin' to visit in like a week and he'll be on crutches when he does it. Well...gg!! I know it's late but Contracts is waitin' for me!

Law School

I thought now would be a good time to give some general thoughts on law school.

I'm so glad I'm here everyone, make no mistake about it. Pepperdine was the right choice for me and I'm so excited and happy for how I will most assuredly be equipped to Seek Justice here. But that doesn't mean I'm not scared.

Today during our mock class (which was seperated into sections so it was basically our first class) there were all these beautiful girls and scary lookin' preppy guys etc. I've never been little more than unfortunate looking so it always amazes me when I meet that rare beautiful but intelligent female. Now, I can only make assumptions about the true intelligence of these girls since I haven't heard them speak....but this is not an easy school to get into. Then of course there were scary dudes with preppy clothes and big laptops. How will I ever be in the top 10%?

I'll tell you one thing...I don't think I'll worry though. Because Law School is in His hands, not mine. This diploma is for Him, not for me. It's for Him and His cause, His mission, and His purpose for me. As I sit here doing my Civil Procedure I can't imagine doing this AND Hebrew and Greek etc. But then I remember why I'll be doing it all, and it's ok. I'm doing it for Psalms 9:12 "He who avenges blood remembers." The Psalm is part of a trio of Psalms which speaks about the protection of the oppressed that can be found in God. He is their reffuge and doesn't let them down - He's never forgotten them. He ALWAYS remembers.

So many people when given the choice would take the patience of God, or the compassion of God, or the wisdom or sight of God for themselves. Me, I want the memory of God. I want to have the memory that remembers the oppressed. I want to have the memory that realizes they are always crying out. I want hte memory that never neglects them. I want the memory that avenges blood.

I can hear them when I look past the ocean to the horizon. I know they are there...

Give me the memory of God.

I hope to find it here.

Amen.

FINALLY I RETURN

Hello ladies and gentlemen..

I'm back.


I realize I haven't posted in quite some time, so let me explain. Basically, I moved to California and lived in my Aunt's house and she only had dial up so I couldn't. The end.

Now, it's Thursday night and I'm in Malibu in my apartment at Pepperdine doin' my homework which, I might add, sux dirt. I live in the George Page apatments across the street from the law school. So you'd think the "commute" would be easy yah? However, for those of you who haven't SEEN Pepperdine, let me enlighten you....MOUNTAINS!! GOLLY...so, I live on the third floor which means I walk down three flights of stairs to get to the first floor of the apartment complex, then down three more to get to the street, and then to school and down some more stairs. And you know what, the books I have are freakin' ridiculous! MASSIVENESS COMES TO MIND...hello.

Really, it's the trip back that gets me, or rather my back.

Now, lets give an update of what's been going on since I got here (Cali). I went on a mission trip with Tommy and his kids @ Walnut Creek and I had a blast. His kids were great and I had really missed Tommy. He's coming to visit me in a little over a week for a few days: and I'm clearly lookin' forward to that.

Today was the last day of oreintation here at law school. Time flies...
