'Joy'nt Blogging...

Do you like the title? I wrote it like that because the person who is writing it with me is called Joy. I know I’m a comical genius. I’ll be here all week, if you want an autograph.

So Joy and I decided that we would write this Joynt blog because we are bored and both have recently started blogging, it’s a cool fad you should try it sometime if you don’t already do it.

Actually, its not just Joy and myself, another person called Hawaii is here too, she is a Native American (Indian) and so cool, she can outrun a reindeer. She recently beat Rudolph in the 100meter sprint, got gold in the winter Olympics. Haha.

****WAITING ON INSPIRATION****

I cant think of anything to write right now so I’ll give the computer over to Joy, I’m very wary of this as she uses a dreaded PC and I’m afraid she will get confused with the superior operating system on my MacBook and totally blow it up…

Joys turn to write now:

Tyrrell is letting me use his MacBook, and I feel very privileged to be undertaking this honourable position. Sitting in the tunnels, trying to think of something useful to write…angry voices down the hall…
Tyrrell!!!! I won’t blow up your MacBook!!!! Joy’s feet are officially off limits now.
Ups, I think they just locked us in. Oh, well, Tyrrell, I guess the tunnels are our new home for a while…
What do you think of Calvinism? Or Armenianism? Or however you spell it? I had a man totally attack me today, trying to figure out what I believe, whether I’m a Calvinist or an Armeniest…I was entirely put off and rather offended that he tried to put me in such a box so quickly…he would ask me a question about eternal security and from the answer I gave, he would ascribe to me some foolish name that I didn’t even understand…makes me wonder why as Christians we’re so apt to stick a label to everything. Tyrrell, what do you think?

To be honest with you I don’t fully understand the whole Calvin I haven’t read enough about it yet. I also know that we shouldn’t follow the Doctrine of what a mere mortal says in his books and theories. Scripture, the word of God, is the only authoritative Doctrine, which we should follow earnestly and be faithful to. So, predestination, that’s another part of Calvinism, who are we to say that God only selects certain people, that he has a “specific elect.” It says, after all, in the Scriptures that Christ came for every man, its up to us to choose whether or not we follow Him or not. But, then some of you reading this will put across the argument that the “elect” are the people who God draws to Him. I believe that God draw us to Him, I have no doubt about that, but I also believe that we have to make the final decision to follow Christ. God gave us free wills didn’t he? If he wanted robots to worship Him he would have made them. But He chose to make a race of idiots instead. Like think about it human beings are retarded we continually sin and smack God in the face and reject Him. How must he feel?? Imagine how Christ felt when he heard Peter, his best mate, swearing that he didn’t know Him, Luke 22: 61 “the Lord turned and looked at Peter” imagine the tears welling in His eyes, imagine the hurt in his heart. Well that’s what this race, we, you and I, put him through daily. But here is a nicer thought for you all His grace abounds. Awesome ☺

(Joys turn again)

I’m going to change the subject now, because it’s what I do. Be prepared. This world hasn’t enough Joy in it, I am convinced. Haha, just kidding, I’m sure there’s far too much of me and my noise in this world, but then again, that’s how God made me, loud. I wonder what His face looks like…? You know? How perfect He is…
Moving on to a new subject again. This weekend we’re all going to my house for two days, more like one day with all the travel and whatnot involved, but it will still be a good time, I think we girls are going to sleep in tents just for the crack of it. ☺ Tyrrell, is Evan coming or no? Just so that you can tell him when we’re leaving, if he is.
Tyrrell’s curled up on a shelf, sleeping, or at least about to, and it’s so funny, I never thought that he was as small as all that until just here now.
I wonder what Europe is like to someone like me—an American who has never ventured past Mexico, not because she didn’t want to, but simply because she didn’t have the opportunity, and yet has always been interested in European culture, and been attracted to it, as little as she knows/knew about it…I wonder what it’s like experiencing American culture for the first time. Sometimes I forget that most of my friends aren’t from around here and they don’t always know what I’m talking about…more times than not, though, I just don’t get what they’re talking about…that’s when I listen to try to figure it out.
Steal the jeans, Tyrrell. Steal them right now. And then I’ll make a bag out of them.

(Don’t really steal the jeans.)

I’d like a pair of bowling shoes, I think they’d be absolutely amazing. I love the bowling shoes in Rochelle. So old and retro, probably as dirty as sin, but they’re so awesome-looking.
Wonderful jazz band was at Joe’s tonight. Convinced that jazz is God’s favourite genre of music.
Tyrrell’s church, I’d like to visit yous sometime. ☺

(Right, Tyrrell’s turn.)
Nice use of the word ‘yous’ that’s awesome, Chris and I have taught you well you wee eejit. Haha

Joy I’m from Northern Ireland we have integrity and honour so I am not going to steal the jeans.

Ok so my first experience of American culture was basically that over here people eat a lot, they have annoying accents (blablabla) and that everything is so fast moving, not the cars I mean the pace of living. But I was naïve and I actually love it here, totally different to Belfast Bible College but I love it all the same ☺

I hope I get accepted back in next September. So people I really would appreciate your prayers for this. I am considering coming back next September to do a full degree, after I graduate from Belfast. I can transfer my credits from my classes I think so I will be here for like 2 and ½ years, its crazy I know but I would like to do it, so please pray for me, I want God to reveal to me whether it is in His will for my Life or not.

It’s like 1 in the morning and I think Joy and I have babbled on enough to last a lifetime, well it feels like that to me anyway. So I think I am going to call it a night. So Joy good-night, we can finish this tomorrow or something.

Emmm, “tomorrow came and went and we never got round to writing this again so woops, haha.
