The story of the best prank ever begins a year ago during PBC’s tenth annual graduation fellowship.¬† The girls dorm was getting restless and we desperately needed something to keep us occupied so we decided to play UNO.¬† Ji had never played UNO before so it was quite interesting.¬† As the night dragged on we decided that UNO was no longer meeting our entertainment needs… our minds began to race… One thought led to another… Next thing we know we have convinced Ji to deliver a pizza box filled with rotten bananas to the guy dorm… (it was late in the evening).¬† She was completely frightened as she walked across the street and rang there door bell.¬† Much to our chagrin, they never answered the door.¬† But that hiccup was not going to put a halt to our villainous plans.¬† Ji put on her most sweetest innocent voice and called Eric on his cell to tell him that somebody kept on ringing our door bell (this is after we called their dorm a few times and hung up on them).¬† As we peaked out of our bathroom widow nothing could surprise us more than seeing the guys (in their PJs) emerge from the side of the house and carrying a baseball bat.¬† As they reached the front of their house, they saw our special delivery pizza… and knew they had been pranked.
Ji was in torment the whole next day.¬† Her conscience was telling her that the guys were mad at her… they wouldn’t answer her phone calls.¬† Finally when Kyle answered, he said that he had never seen Casey that mad before.¬† That really sent her into tears. That evening she discovered that the guys really were not mad at her and that they had been pulling her leg.
The next morning as Hannah and I walked out to her car we couldn’t help but bust up laughing.¬† They had gotten us.¬† Hannah’s car was TP-ed.
Ever since last year we have waited with anticipation for this years graduation fellowship.¬† The girls dorm has pulled a prank this year that is unbelievably awesome.¬† the prank is still in progress… so i can’t disclose any information.¬† but come back soon to find out what we did and how they responded.

So, I was called a feminist this week.  Actually I was called  anti-husband, anti-children, anti-shovenist, anti-Christian, anti-church feminist!  Then when I asked for evidence the culprit was unable to provide any.  According to that definition I would say I am most definitely not a feminist!!!
I believe that a woman has a right to be voice her opinion and be respected for it.  Nonetheless, the woman is to submit to the authority in her life (ie. God, her father, brother, husband, pastor etc.).  If voicing my opinion does not conflict with their authority then I see no harm is saying what needs to be said. Apparently others disagree with me.
I at a point in my life were I have no husband and have no prospects (that doesn’t make me anti-husband and anti-children).¬† I don’t consider the lack of prospects to be a disadvantage.¬† I have a great opportunity to get to know my God and to serve him with reckless abandon.¬† (i’m not perfect… but He is making me perfect)¬† God is the final authority in my life and I submit myself under his authority.
My father is also an authority in my life.  I would never intentionally do anything to defy his God-given authority.  In like manner, I respect my brothers and value their opinion.
My pastor and professors are authorities in my life.¬† While I am under their leadership I will respect their authority.¬† The Hebrews 13:17 says “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”¬† As long as there is any form of authority in my life i will obey this verse in Hebrews.

I’m so excited that it is almost summer!¬† I am discovering that as the semester draws to a close I want to do less and less school work.¬† I can’t wait until I can do some reading that doesn’t have to do with schoolwork.
I have two weeks left (actually 7 days) and 6 more projects to do.¬† I feel like I have been turning in projects all semester!¬† I guess that’s how college is suppose to be – and endless list of things to do.
I’m avoiding homework right now.¬† I should be working on my paper for Creation v. Evolution.¬† I’m writing it on eugenics and am finding it very interesting.¬† Galton, the father of eugenics, was Charles Darwin’s cousin!¬† Anyways, my paper is basically how Darwinian thought leads to eugenics and eventually genocide.
Got to get back to my homework.¬† Like I said I can’t wait for summer!

I wrote a post several months ago about a book I read called “The Shack.”¬† Let me give a quick recap.
The story is about a man who learns to forgive his daughter’s murder, forgive his father, and renew his relationship with God.¬† The novel contains many doctrinal errors, and I caution anyone who read the book to be firmly grounded in their doctrine before reading the book.
So, I was at work today and I was opening with a girl who says she is a Christian.¬† She attends a liberal church somewhat faithfully, but she does not live a separated Christ-like life.¬† She asked me if I had ever read “The Shack” and I told her yes.¬† When she asked me what I thought I told her that it was doctrinally inaccurate and really wasn’t worth reading.
She then informed me that the author of the book came and spoke at her church.¬† She said that what he said sounded somewhat weird… as if he didn’t believe in God, and then the next statement he did.¬† She said she sat in church wondering why the pastor had invited him to speak.¬† I suppose he was very persuasive, because in the end she wants to by the book… even though she doesn’t agree with everything he said.
I pray she doesn’t read it; she already has things in her life she needs to deal with. “The Shack” would only make things worse.

So I feel like a workaholic this week!¬† I’ve closed three nights in a row all of the shifts were at least seven and half hours.¬† I have today off and I open on Friday and Saturday… those are both eight hour shifts.
I had an interesting day yesterday.¬† I remembered why I hate closing three days in a row… while being a full-time student.¬†¬† I made a customer mad… he called me a liar.¬† Oh he made me mad!¬† I wanted to talk back to him!¬† Instead I opted to go to the back and cool off.¬† I have come to two conclusions about customer.
1. Regular customer are kind of creepy
2. Customers are fickle
