My Drivers License: episode III

Yes I did it. I now have my drivers license. I was amazed at how lenient the drivers test is. I barely did any driving at all. Now I know why there are so amny bad drivers on the road. The test is so easy that all you have to know is the basics of how to handle the car. Anyway I have my license now and I easily past the test.

My drivers license: episode II

Yes I flunked. No actually I didn't. But I did not pass my drivers test. How, you say, is this possible? Well to make a long story short, or maybe a short story long, the state of Texas does not have enough people working at the DMV (Department of Moter Vehicles I think). I went to get my license but there was only one person doing the driving tests and only one other person at the desk and there was a long line of people and we started at the back of the line and the time slots for taking the drivers test were full for the day, so I ended up standing in line for an hour and a half just to be told that I had to come back another day. Well that other day will have to be next Tuesday because... well, yeah, because Tuesday is the only day that will work. Next Thursday will also work. So I should, hopefully, be getting my license on Tuesday. YES. Postscript: I actually don't care about getting my license except that it will give me the needed mobility. I don't dig cars. I am an airplane nut. Go Cessna.

My drivers license

This afternoon I am planning to go try to get my drivers license. Yeah right! I'm 18, living in Texas, in college, living off campus, I own a car, and I don't have my drivers license? Well I don't. I've lived overseas almost all my life and I have just never had the opportunity to get my license anywhere. So now I'm finally allowed to have a drivers license and now I feel ready to have it. The first time I drove with my permit, I scared myself. I was driving my car which is a Nissan 240sx. If you don't know what that is its sort of like a borderline sports car. It can be a lot to handle. It is especially hard to learn to shift and to start up on hills. But in this first experience of mine there was just to much going on. Also my seat-back became unlached and went back into the full back position which made it that much more difficult. Yeah, but now I've been driving for about a month and I feel ready to go out on my own.

the purpose for our existence...

I have been thinking a lot lately about the purpose for our existence as human beings. Several of my classes have been dealing with this issue and and the issue of vocation as it realates to God's will in our lives. I put here some of my thoughts on this issue.

I beleive that God created the human race in His image for a special purpose: to glorify Him by enjoying Him forever. By finding and following the will of God, we glorify Him to the fullest extent possible, and when in the will of God we will be most satisfied and fulfilled in God. It follows therefore that we will most glorify God when we are most satisfied in Him. I believe that living in God’s will, will maximize our joy in Christ and that being in God’s will is the only safe place to be. Corrie Ten Boom is quoted as saying, “The center of Gods will is our only safety.”

Does living in Gods will mean we will always enjoy what we do? I think that by living in Gods will we will be satisfied in God. This does not mean, though, that we will enjoy our circumstances or what we are doing in the way of work.

I have not fully satisfied myself on this issue so I would welcome any comments.

Well, this is it. The long anticipated wingman blog. This is, in fact the origional wingman blog, not to be confused with any other non-existent, or unimportant wingman blogs. So if any of you out there have been confused with the identity of wingman blogs, be so no longer. This is the origional.
