life sucks.

today was a very rough day. Mom, if you're reading this, which i hope you're not, this is a little intense.

like camping.

but seriously,

I pirate a bit of stuff. i know it's wrong, but i don't have money to buy anything i want. well, anyway, i think God kinda stepped into that and stopped it in it's tracks. OSU's wireless network, known as resnet contacted me, saying that an agency had told OSU that i pirated scott pilgrim. they were totally right. i thought i would never get caught. oops. so, they told me to delete it, and not to do it again. i complied. so, it's 12, i overslept my physics class, so i already felt bad about that, and then this.
then, i look to see my math midterm exam score. i thought i did a lot better than a 64 and a 56 (my last two midterm exam scores) so, i'm anxious to find out. i studied my butt off. twice. i read the score. 44%. my jaw drops. i'm so angry. so i spend the day sulking, not working on anything and watching 30 rock.
media in general, i've found out is my achillies' heel. this concerns me. i love my media. too much. so, i think God is teaching me a lesson. with the media, to stop worshiping media. and he's totally right. media is my idol. and though i don't pray to the movie gods, i spend all of my time watching tv or movies.
now, i think He's picked a rotten time for this all this, as my math grade sucks and finals are approaching. the FBI is probably on my trail right now, i have no job, my career might be going down the tubes right now, and it's supposed to be educational. great. learning from my mistakes at learning.

so, in conclusion, it's late, and God's really been trying to teach me discipline and responsibility. so, if you are reading this and believe in the amazing power of our Lord Jesus Christ, then please, remember me in your prayers.
thank you.

oh, i almost forgot. i'm never pirating again, or i'll try really hard, and i'm putting my netflix account on hold for a little while. until i have enough discipline to engage in media after God and after school is finished.

Thanksgiving

I would like to thank my famliy and extended family for making this year a great year for thanksgiving. I thank God that i'm out of the house. ;) but seriously, I've missed home a lot, like my awesome friends from loveland. and my amazing mothers home cooking. all they have here is burritos, coke, and burgers. and though i thought it tasted like heaven, it was totally not. so thank you mother, and family.

in other news, i didn't read my Bible at all this weekend, so i have 11 days, from the 17th to finish up. i will probably do more of a synopsis than a full comprehensive layout. thanks for bearing with me.

stay classy san diego...

Hey my grace church homies. i miss you.
Love,
Peter

bible reading.

so, this is from facebook, because you can only write so much in a status.

I am currently reading through my Bible. however, i kinda hate doing it. thus, i figured i'd let you keep me accountible. so, here's my bible reading for thursday through today.

2 Kings 7. Elisha makes a prophecy about the end of the famine in Samaria. the Samarians (i think) find that the Syrians have abandoned their camp. they were seiging Samaria, thus, the famine. Elisha says to a soldier that the price of food today will rise to a certain price. the soldier doesn't believe him, so Elisha says "you won't see it". the Lord creates fear in the syrians so they leave their camp in a hurry, leaving everything behind. the samarians scramble out to get the plunder and run over the soldier mentioned above, fulfilling the prophecy.

this taught me that prophecy was a powerful thing and that God didn't like it when people doubted the word of true prophesiers.
