it's voting day today...first time i get to cast a vote, momentous occasion! ha...seriously, think american politics is so messed up anyway it doesn't really make a difference how i vote. but i have to uphold my duty as a moral citizen (hey, all those "hao gong ming" lessons shouldn't go to waste should they?) so i'll go vote anyway. actually i have no clue who i'm going to vote for, there's a mile-long list of candidates running to replace gray davis, most of them would probably do a worse job. of course the frontliner is arnold...good old arnie's going to bust out the guns and solve everyone's problems that way maybe. and if he loses, he already has a line prepared! "i'll be back." ok, i'm talking nonsense as usual. off to continue reading about the supreme court.
oh, before i do that...had an inspired quiet time today. yesterday we had bible study and one of my applications was that this week i would do a good qt (read "a qt i won't rush through") and really allow God time to speak. so i did it this morning, got up early too so that i would have enough time coz i start class early this morning. and it was amazing, totally worth it (can i digress a little? someone in my hall is heating up something that smells absolutely delicious! wonder what it is, but anyway...). read from colossians about how God sent his son, who is firstborn over all the universe to make me spotless. i mean, we always talk about God's great love and all that, but if you take it one step further it's even more wonderful. he didn't just send any old guy walking on the street to die for us, he sent his son. his son isn't just some random person who didn't have anything better to do, he was (and is!) Lord over heaven and earth...thrice the reason to be grateful.
Lord, how can I ever thank you for such love
Such glorious love
Grace I don't deserve
You sent your son, not just any man
But firstborn over all creation
For whom and by whom
The universe was made
To bridge the gap my evil sin had created
To wash me clean
Free from accusation
You moved me from death to being holy
Holy, Lord, in your sight
Not just any man - you sent your precious Son
Colossians 1: 15-23
