Dan is a total stud
I know I have posted before about the totally awesome studliness that is Mr. Dan Hay but I just had to post it again. He's pretty much fabulous.
Last night he spoke at Vespers about decision making and knowing God's will. It was really fun and very helpful. I think God really had that talk planned for a lot of us to hear. Good times.
Life is peachy and glorious....and its Friday! But it is hard to get excited about Friday when you have to study all weekend.
Starbucks anyone?
Amy
P.S. Someone should really open up a mom and pop knock off starbucks so we can stick it to the man...but in the meantime I'll be a hypocrite.

Not so Blurry Line
Okay...the line is not blurry. Those things are for my own good. I just have a pride problem. Sigh.
Wedding plans are looking up. We have a possible reception site pending and I picked up the dresses yesterday. All seven of them...and let me just say there is nothing closer to a girl's heart than new clothes for a fun event.
I never heard so much screaming in my life. It was glorious.
Getting married is really fun because you not only share it with your fiance but you share it with all of your friends and family. This is especially true in my case because everyone has really stepped up to the plate to donate gifts and services to give me a wedding I could never afford on my own. God is good. He knows our needs and longs to give them to us!
I will be really specific later in thanking them in a special way. This is starting to feel like everyone's wedding now which is neat because our lives are everyone's.
Soooo thanks for listening! And thanks for all of your offers to help!

Blurry Line
Sometimes the line between a punishment and things being for my own good is really blurry to me.
Sorry to lie to you all but the blue chair is gone. Feel free to say hello.

Difficult Times Lie Ahead, Harry.
Life is hard right now.
I need Jesus. I need to seek His comfort before His counsel.
Did you know that if you could travel the speed of light it would still take you 100, 000 years to travel to the Milky Way? That is just inside our galaxy! That is one big God. Yet, the Word says that he measures the heavens in the breadth of his hand! He is huge!
In team last night, Dick was talking about how to point people to God instead of to ourselves. My heart was totally convicted. Dan once called me the oracle...I would really classify it as available. He said this because of the constant influx of people into my office to talk.
Charlie Anne suggested I start charging for my services so I could raise a little money on the side! I just laughed at her. It is my joy!
However, I don't know how good I have been about pointing people to God instead of to my own advice. I would hope that the things I say would be "godly" but in all of those specifics the only One with answers is the One who created that huge galaxy.
Don't worry. I will still be here in my office and I am not going to burn the blue chair...but I hope you take my silence for more prayer and not a cold shoulder.
Difficult times do lie ahead though incredibly exciting! Please, I beg that you pray for us!
Thanks for listening.

28 Things Guys should Know About Girls
I saw this today and thought I would pass the knowledge on to all of my guy friends. Dan does these things so well (or understands them) and it really blesses me! Soooo....Take note!
Written by a guy. After years of experience.
1. Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house...they run around in their underwear just like we do.
2. Don't cheat on them. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mud.
3. Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.
4. Let them cry. They can't always handle you trying to fix them.
5. Don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.
6. If they slap you hard, you deserved it.
7. Don't be afraid to hug them if you want to. If they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms.
8. If you don't kiss them, do not tell your friends that you did.
9. If you DO kiss them, don't tell your friends that you did.
10. Not all of them eat like birds; a lot of them can eat like whales.
11. Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're cheap.
11.5. Do you honestly need all your money that much? Be a man, pay all the time!
12. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts, and a really pretty ring. Even if it's not a serious relationship.
13. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.
14. If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick him.
15. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.
16. Never, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.
17. Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.
18. You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals. 19. Don't flirt with their moms...that's just freaky.
20. Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel terrible, so be understanding.
21. If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.
22. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better introduce her as your girlfriend.
23. Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.
24. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting be very gentle.
25. Memorize their birthdays. You forget her birthday and you're basically in trouble for life.
26. Don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.
27. Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.
28. If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt you more if you draw it out.

Reception!
Anyone got any creative ideas for a wedding reception site? No one wants to call us back here in Norman! The slackers....don't they know that we will refer to all of our soon to be married friends? They are sitting on a gold mine!
The best idea posted gets a special present from me (a real present...not something corny like 10 cool points.
