My question of the month/year is: is life worth living without dieing?
Can we truly live if we have not already died? As Angela put it.
So in Lit class we have read the Odyssey and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pere Gorio(sp). My first paper I wrote on the Odyssey was about virtues of the time period of the Odyssey which I discovered was power/courage, love, and deception. I thought, "Wow those are weird virtues." But then we read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and low and behold I discovered the same underlining virtues. Then in Pere Gorio yup you guessed it I also dicovered that these virtues stood strong. I was very confused and began to wonder if it was the same today. I began to look at people in the world around me to see if they too treasured love, power, and deception as much as we did in the past, and sure enough we do. Though we say we hate people who only want power or people who deceive we still praise them as a society. But then I began to realize these aren't really the center virtues. There is one much larger vitue that we live for and that is self preservation.
I will just leave you with that thought.

I want to tell everyone out there what I get to do for Psycology.
It is very fun.
I "have" to make five collages.
I love it!!!!

So far I have made one ages 6-11, 12-17, and 17-20.
It is a amazing how much you remember when you are made to.
I am not making physical collages that have old pictures and stuff,
but I am making an emotional collage.
How I looked at life at those ages. It is really hard.
But I think that is why I went backwards chronologically making these.
And that is why the 0-5 one is not done yet. I don't remember those years
very well. So that one may end up more physical not so emotional.

This is why I love school. I have wanted to do something like this for years, but never made the time.
Now I am "forced" to. School makes me do stuff I won't otherwise do.

I warned you not to get your hopes up on my writing consistantly.

Well... what has happened in Marie's life as of late?

We have started our HouseChurch again with alot of new people.
Claudia and Jonathan are from France and Stephanie is from Switzerland. It is really exciting to have to translate into Spanish and French in the same meeting.

The church has just got back from our annual retreat. It was really good. We talked about sanctification. How sanctification is a gift that God gives us, but we have to chose. Choose to except the gift. Choose to live life as God wills it.

Well I am tired and my head hurts so I can't think anymore to write.
