Finally a word from the fly

I've been busy at school studying my brains out. But it was worth it when I got my grades back today. My favorite class was metal casting. I think I've found my new art love. It is one of the best things ever. I can't wait for my show now. I'm planning on having a lot of bronze in it. The process is amazing(long too). I spent a lot of time getting ready for the pours. I now own the smallest pair of steel toed boots that can be bought at Wal*Mart. Not only do I love the process but I love all the metaphors in the Bible about metal. They have really started to make sense while watching the metal go through all the processes in my pieces. Also I've really enjoyed coming up with the subjects for my work this semester. I spent so much time on my ideas that it was really relaxing just thinking about them while I worked on the manual labor.
I didn't spend all the time in the lab. I also was able to be very involved in an extension and apply some of the lessons learned to real life. I love going to a hospital every Sunday and singing to the patients. When I first started going I thought it would be encouraging for the patients. But the more I went I realized how much I needed these times to work on my own life and be encouraged by the patients. The Lord saved one man and many more are still searching. The extension grew this semester from 25 to 50. Yep I'm pretty sure we doubled. It's been really great watching other students get involved and come to love it as much as I do.
Well that's some of the highlights. I'll have to cover some more while I'm home on break.
