| "His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger." Job 9:4-5
Across the Atlantic...a bit to the north...on a large island...but a tiny country...in a small town...with one friend...I am learning this: THAT I KNOW NOTHING.
And I after reading chapter 9 of Job....I think he was sharing that insight too...."But how can a mortal be righteous before God?" he says..."Though one wished to dispute with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand."...
My capacity to analyze God, myself, and others has failed me. It's as if the foundations of the way I've always viewed my faith is crumbling.
so sweet.but quite damaging to my pride.thank goodness.it needed that. | | |
| I just need to get this out... about how much I want to love those around me
and how I always seem to fall short
and how I want to get this right before it's too late
because time is running out
I don't want to waste a moment of this life God's given me
yet I know I shouldn't regret because, in my mistakes, I'm learning
and I know that this battle isn't really mine and it never really was
but my anxiety compels me to pick up my sword and fight
it'll wear me out..
so increase my faith
and grant me humility | | |
| The coast of Northern Ireland is beautiful! We went up to the shore with the Teenys on Saturday. At one point I sat on a grass covered cliff with Karen, looking out onto the ocean. It one one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I could have stayed there forever...
Unfortunately, I got really burnt at the beach. People here keep telling us that this is the hottest Ireland has been all year. We have yet to see a drop of rain in this place.
I talked to a girl today who told me that she absolutely loves American accents. Then she asked me if I knew anybody famous. Silly girl.

| On today's episode of "Two American Idiots Decide to Explore Ireland," we will interview Kaitlin on her thoughts concerning Irish food.
Kaitlin: They eat a lot of meat over here. Beef, sausage, chicken, bacon. They also have a lot of sheep in these parts, so I'm sure some of the meat comes from sheep too.
Reporter: And what about potatoes? Those seem to be popular there too.
Kaitlin: Yea, they keep talking about this "Potato Famine" that happened over here years ago. I think they're trying to make up for some potato deprivation by serving potatoes at every meal too. Mostly, they're mini potatoes. They boiled them and serve them with meat.
Reporter: And have you drank much tea since your arrival?
Kaitlin: O yes, they offer tea and coffee at least 3 times a day. you drink it in the afternoon, after dinner, and at night. They also take shortbread cookies each time they eat tea/coffee. Tea is drank with milk. I haven't tried that yet, but I plan to. Coffee is sometimes made like an Americano. This is, most definitely, my favortie custom.
Reporter: Well, folks that concludes the "Cuisine" section of today's episode. Tomorrow the two idiots will be talking about a popular Scottish dish that's comprised of oatmeal and diced lived served in sheep's stomach.

| Top of the morning from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland. Well, actually, it's the night....but I'm not sure if it's correct to say "top if the night" to ya. This is my second full day in N. Ireland...and I find this place extremely welcoming and plesant. Allison (my traveling buddy) and I are staying at the Teeny residence in Ballyclare, N Ireland for the week. Today we explored the town and took entirely too many pictures of things that would only interest easily-entertained American tourists. Tonight we went to Belfast to eat dinner with Allison's great Aunt and second cousin. After, her second cousin took us for a walk at a park that runs along the coast. The whole thing was beautiful. And now we are back at the Teenies, drinking coffee and listening to conversation about things that are unfamiliar to American college students.
The voice in my head has grown an Irish accent, signs that I am adjusting well.
More to come... | | |
