we are people, not numbers.

A little bit of stuff about me before serious stuff. I mentioned the talent show and how PK Thunder won. Afterward, we went to Papa John's to celebrate. We walked down there, and on the way is when Noah mentioned the singing telegram idea. When we arrived, we asked if we could sing a four part Star Wars song to get a discount. The lady said no, but since we had five minutes left, we decided to do it anyways. Before we started, the black guy who worked there said, "Lay that s*** down!" So we did. While we sang, they ignored three phone calls. Afterward, the cashier said that she did indeed give us a discount of a few dollars from sixteen to about twelve. After we put eleven dollars on the counter, we started searching for more and she told us not to worry about it. The black guy told us we were "bad a** mothers". It was an awesome end to an awesome night. Of course, I paid for ten dollars out of the eleven, but still. It was awesome.

Now onto more important stuff.

There started a discussion about our church synod and what is going on. Recently, there have been some cuts throughout the synod. I heard that another school in the synod, LPS, had very small cuts while MLS has lost six teachers as well as staff members. We are all feeling this, whether or not we liked those who were cut. We're all part of the Seminary Family. And really, that's what it's like. We are really close. A lot of the students were friends with the teachers and aren't happy with this, naturally. Nobody is. It's hard to feel happy with the way things are going.

Now is an excellent time to demonstrate what we can do. People say to pray for our future. I do. But that's not the end. You can't just pray and wait for things to pass over. Sometimes when you ask God to build a house, he gives you a hammer. You have to do something about it.

Enough preaching. Just thought I'd just mention it. Think about it, pray about it, but don't think we can brush this aside and someone else will take care of it. Please.
