The white death... it's everywhere!!!

So the sky just dumped about 6 inches of white death over the area and is going to drop about 2 more overnight which means...... ANOTHER SNOW DAY!!! Oddly enough, I'm not entirely excited to say that, so ignore the caps and the last two exclamation points. Snow days are bittersweet to me. I love being temporarily freed from the stresses of school, but then I miss my friends. In these last months I've had the privilege to develop friendships with many of the kids at Winton Woods High. Because of them, I wouldn't trade the decision to go to public school for the world. :) Back to the snow day... I'm a little more excited this time around. There's this test coming up in Chemistry..... yeah. I want to go out and play in the snow tomorrow. I haven't done that since before high school. Maybe I grew up too fast.

Now that school is closed for another day I'm able to get on with something I've been wanting to do for a while. Read John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I've read this book several times already, and loved it more each time. But the copy I have has Biblical references and lots of them on just about every page. Basically I'm going to do a Bible study using Pilgrim's Progress. Such a great book. I'd recommend to anyone who calls themselves a Christ follower. I'm really excited to read it again!

I've been mulling over a few options for the talent show at school. On that note, let me confess... that I am an American Idol junkie. Don't worry, this will all come together soon. Every season I find myself rooting for the contestants who choose to sing inspiring songs week after week after week. David Archuleta, for example. I'm really inspired by him and other contestants, so I've decided to sing an inspiring song at the talent show. I'm deciding between Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls, We Need Each Other by Sanctus Real, and a worship song. I want to sing something that will leave an impression on the people who watch/listen, or send a positive message to them. Music is a great way to send messages. :)

I'll be posting again soon. This Pilgrim's Progress inspired Bible study might give me some better things to talk about. Those are definitely some books you should pick up if you have the chance. The Bible and Pilgrim's Progress. Books for the soul. :)
