1 Peter 2:9-10
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

So True
Below is an article that was published in the State Press (ASU's newspaper) on February 1st.
Top 5: Strange behaviors learned in college
by Amanda Fruzynski
1. Leave a seat between
Never sit next to a person in a lecture hall unless every other seat has been taken. Always avoid your classmates' three-foot personal space bubble unless you want to play an awkward game of "who gets the armrest."
This situation actually happened to me the other day and I was forced to take a seat between two classmates that are not my friends. Result: Extreme discomfort!
2. Bike trumps walking, but skateboard beats bike.
It's the rock-paper-scissors of who gets control of the sidewalk.
Also experienced this one on Monday...a girl who could not control her bicycle screamed at everyone, "Get the hell out of my way before I run you over!" My thought: Skateboards hurt, bikes do injury (trust me, I've been hit by both).
3. Laptop screens are fair game.
If the person in front of you is having a deep personal IM conversation on their 17-inch laptop screen, feel free to read it. It's fair game.
Can't agree more. I like playing "detective" by examining the photos and also their myspace page that is displayed and guessing what their job is, what their family is like, and all around if I should try to get to know them!
4. If you stare down at your cell phone, magazine or iPod, you're invisible.
The salespeople on campus won't bother you, and people walking or biking toward you will be forced to swerve.
True, unless the person is absolutely involved in what they are doing and walk right into a pole (saw this one happen last semester).
5. Text message relationships are fine.
Even though you haven't heard your friend's actual voice in over two months, you know exactly how her classes are going this semester. She texts you during all of them.
Not exactly, but I should give this a whirl for the people who I would like to speak less too.

Wednesday's Word
Managers vs. Leaders
Managers ask how and when, Leaders ask what and why
Managers focus on systems, Leaders focus on people
Managers do things right, Leaders do the right things
Managers maintain, Leaders develop
Managers copy, Leaders show originality
Managers have their eye on the bottom line,
Leaders have their eye on the horizon
Managers have short-term perspective,
Leaders have long-term perspective
A manager may OR may not be a leader.
A leader is a manager (does manage at times - part of responsibility)

Wednesday's Word
RESPECT: to esteem or honor.
Couldn't you hear it roll off your tongue, just the way Aretha Franklin sang it? RES-PECT...just a little bit!
Last week my boss' assistant was on vacation. You're now saying, "so what?" Well, I work in a very small office; my boss (the owner), his assistant (who basically does everything), and two college interns. So the assistant takes the week off, my boss' calendar reads "out all week", and there I was with the entire business on my shoulders (slight exaggeration). To make a very long story short I got to do the assistants job which is much harder than I previously thought.
A word of wisdom: If you don't respect a position, job, title, or status then you should place yourself in the shoes of the one you don't respect. Let's just say that I have a new found respect.

Wednesday's Word
Bittersweet [bit·ter·sweet]: Both pleasant and painful
A real tearjerker today, as well as a pleasant surprise! I had a full day over at ASU - meeting with advisors, meeting with a professor, study sessions, and chats with friends. In between one of the meetings I had some time so I went to the Memorial Union to get a bagel. Sitting all alone I looked up from my bagel to notice that there was not a single person in the MU. Outrageous...not quite; it is the end of the semester. As I about teared up a smile of joy permeated my face...the semester is over! Only 3 more semesters to go!
