Wednesday's Word

LOVE

John 15:12-13
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.

Reply with your favorite "love" scriptures!

Wednesday's Word

1 Peter 2:9-10
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

So True

Below is an article that was published in the State Press (ASU's newspaper) on February 1st.

Top 5: Strange behaviors learned in college
by Amanda Fruzynski


1. Leave a seat between
Never sit next to a person in a lecture hall unless every other seat has been taken. Always avoid your classmates' three-foot personal space bubble unless you want to play an awkward game of "who gets the armrest."
This situation actually happened to me the other day and I was forced to take a seat between two classmates that are not my friends. Result: Extreme discomfort!

2. Bike trumps walking, but skateboard beats bike.
It's the rock-paper-scissors of who gets control of the sidewalk.
Also experienced this one on Monday...a girl who could not control her bicycle screamed at everyone, "Get the hell out of my way before I run you over!" My thought: Skateboards hurt, bikes do injury (trust me, I've been hit by both).

3. Laptop screens are fair game.
If the person in front of you is having a deep personal IM conversation on their 17-inch laptop screen, feel free to read it. It's fair game.

Can't agree more. I like playing "detective" by examining the photos and also their myspace page that is displayed and guessing what their job is, what their family is like, and all around if I should try to get to know them!

4. If you stare down at your cell phone, magazine or iPod, you're invisible.
The salespeople on campus won't bother you, and people walking or biking toward you will be forced to swerve.
True, unless the person is absolutely involved in what they are doing and walk right into a pole (saw this one happen last semester).

5. Text message relationships are fine.
Even though you haven't heard your friend's actual voice in over two months, you know exactly how her classes are going this semester. She texts you during all of them.

Not exactly, but I should give this a whirl for the people who I would like to speak less too.
