so hey guys! well, the debate was on Thursday. i think it went pretty well. it was kinda funny to me that most people were on the side of ID rather than evolution. it's also really cool to see that there are some matters of faith that you just can't argue. but one of the things i really learned was how not to go about discussing things with people. you can't jerk them up by the collar and tell them they're going to hell. you can't just throw scripture at them or take scripture out of context to convice someone of their folly. the one thing that no one can argue with is your testimony. no one can tell you that God hasn't done something amazing in your life. and He has really been reinforcing that to me. but He has also been teaching me that if i don't live my life to back up what i say, then it doesn't show anybody anything but a hypocrite. and the coolest thing, is that i can't even do it on my own. it's God who makes me not a hypocrite. He is one who changes me. how cool is that? anyways, just thought i'd share that with you guys. so, on another thought, have you ever had a dream in which you confessed everything to someone, only to wake and find that it's still all in your head? ha. my dreams are kinda funny. oh well. life goes on. w/e. i gotta go, but i'll all of ya on the flip-flop...much love to you all-------Cari

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
