I’m having an issue with videos uploading on every site except for Facebook. Which seems really strange because around here its usually Facebook that isn’t working. (Facebook + College students all on one network = Refreshing 20 times before loading the homepage) I tried the last few days but I didn’t want to keep on waiting for the videos to post this blog.
I think I possibly figured out the problem… so be excited for some cool videos in the next blog! :)
I got back from Kaleo not too long ago and it was amazing as usual! I know I’ve talked about this before but Kaleo (the Wednesday night chapel) really is one of my favorite things here at APU. Woody, one of the campus pastors) talked about Daniel chapter 5 and I won’t try to explain it all but overall the message was how things became idols for us, especially as college students with all this new freedom of choice. I think the part I loved the most is that I’ve heard the ‘you shouldn’t have idols’ sermon so many times but every time Kaleo comes around I learn something new and relevant to my life.
The same concept is true in my Exodus/Deuteronomy class. I heard that Exo/Deut was a really interesting course but then I realized it was studying Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. This might sound really interesting to you, but for me, I’ve always kind of prefered the New Testament. I didn’t randomly pick up my Bible and decide I was just going to read Exodus and Leviticus. (Awesome if you do though!) I’ve always heard “there is something new you can get out a Bible story each time you read it” and I really thought I understood that. But now I’m reading things in Genesis that I’ve never really read enough to understand before, even though I’ve read the entire book of Genesis. I think I’ve relied too much on felt-board versions of Bible stories than really reading the text for what it says.
I’m sorry that I don’t have any colorful pictures or videos this blog but be ready for my next one!

That’s awesome that your Exodus/Deuteronomy class is encouraging you to dig deeper into the text to see what it says. There’s some pretty amazing things God reveals about Himself in the OT as the gracious, holy, and faithful One. Enjoy! =)
Thank you! I’m learning so much more about who God really is and I’m really excited about it! :)
I will have to agree with you about Kaleo being encouraging/reflecting. 2 years ago when Woody went over the 7 Deadly Sins, it inspired me to do a little art project and really self reflect on the whole thing.
PS: If you need help with your video stuff, let me know, I’ll help you out :)
That sounds really amazing! Speaking of the deadly sins.. I’m a tiny bit jealous, haha. Well, maybe jealous is the wrong word. I always feel the need to express myself with art but I always seem to fail miserably :). I know that God gave me other talents though.
Thanks! I’m pretty sure the problem is with the internet connection.. it will be almost all the way uploaded but the ‘CCA Agent” thing will pop up and that disconnection for a split second seems to always stop it in the last 5 minutes. Aghhh. :)
Maybe if I try off-campus wifi??
I’m usually good at this kind of stuff I swear!
Do you have Temporary Access or do you have all your windows updates and symantec updates all… updated, haha. The reason it would give you temporary access is if your computer didn’t have all the updates, which means it isn’t up to par with what it should be to get on the network and that could slow it down for everyone, so they give you 45 minutes of temp access until you get those updated.
I’ll put up my 7 deadly sins picture so you can see it.
