ive suffered a swift defeat

ill endure countless repeats. the gift of memory is an awful curse. with age it gets much worse, but i wont mind.~stability-death cab for cutie

its been awhile, but ive finally got settled here in rushville IL. tuesday i moved into the cabin on the campground outside of town and was pleasantly surprised. in the midst of thousands of spiders, roaches and other bugs was a nice cabin which is bigger than either of my dorm rooms have been. since im rather simple ive got all my stuff on one of the halves, including the futon that im sleeping on. i decided not to sleep on one of the three beds on the other half of the room. its even got a kitchen which would be nice if i actually knew how to cook. but theres plenty of room, so if anybody would like to visit me, just email me and ill hook you up. yesterday i went into work at 830 am and left at 930 pm with a half hour lunch hour. so 11.5 hours on my first day of work. luckily the two pastors left for conference today so im holding down the fort. and by that i mean im typing out this thingy. and i definitley wont work another 12 hours. my assignment for the time that rob and rose are away was to create a rule of life, kinda like the franciscan or benedictine rules. mines fairly simple. I, sean allen, will:
-dialogue with god daily through prayer, scripture, and meditation
-be aware of the way in which god interacts with the world
-serve others with compassion and vigilance
and -in all things seek to be the flesh and blood of Christ
hopefully i can keep this rule
better get to doing something else
