have yuo ever had one of those moments when you find something out about a good friend that makes you think 'i dont know you' 'you arent the person i thort you were'

cos i had one of thse moments about God on monday. i was reading the bit in Joshua where they go round and massacre loads of villages, women and children included, bcause apparently God had commanded it.

Ive read it before but monday felt like id discovered something completely new. how can a God who says he loves me and wants me to be happy, the God who said do not muder and offers forgiveness, also be a God who orders the slaughter of all those inncoent people?

think im going to have to find a pretty good book or theory to convince me on this one

washed and cleaned my car today. at long last! i hoovered inside, polished windows and washed outside and put up a comical homer simpson air freshener. yay clean car at last!

also read two more books for uni. yay!

and two of my housemates surprised me with birthday presents today. so exciting! had two beautiful picture frames.

so its been a generally good day. good weather, good walk this morning, washed hair and spoke to phil. and im ending the day with a meal out at church- 'feast for a fiver'. apparently they have cooked a two course fairtrade meal for us. sounds good, and the best bit is my mum paid as a thankyou for doing a favour yesterday.

so despite a rubbish nights sleep (thanks liam for that 1am phonecall!) it's been a good day

my gym membership runs out at the end of the month so ive been thinking of other ways that i can keep fit. wanted to take up a sport or activity once a week and would really love to do ice skating. having investigated this the nearest one isnt all that near but i could go. they also do lessons that arent that expensive which would be cool cos i really cant ice skate very well (i dont know how to stop other that hitting the side or falling over!). but the lessons are on saturdays and im forever doing things on saturdays. i could just go and skate on my day off but seems sad to go on your own and i prob wouldnt improve that much. hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm dilemas

moved back into my student house today. much easier this time! hehe.also starting my second term here with pizza take-away from big john's curtosy of my work meeting yay! love my job
also found that i can get reception for kerang so that is cool
went through my reading list for uni expecting to tick loads off as i read around 14 books over xmas but found a lot werent on there! why did i read them!
oh well

was my birthday yesterday and i had such a great day. spent the evening with phil and made ravioli, watched little mermaid and then watched the foreworks on telly cos it was far too wet and horrible to watch them live in town! hehe
back to uni far too soon but hopefully buying rock climbing shoes tomoz and going climbing wed! yay!
