Oh, the college years. The years where you are supposed to figure out what you want to do with your life. The years were all those misplaced pieces of your life are supposed to fall into place. This is the unwanted pressure most kids face during these said college years. While we are warned the years will be a roller coaster, lots of people have these set in stone plans for themselves. What people fail to realize is the uselessness of having a plan.

There is no comfort at all in having one of these said plans for your life or resting easily in the fact that you think you may have a plan for your life. It is almost comical for us to believe that we can plan out every aspect and have it turn out just as we want it to. This is simply just not how the world is set up.

These college years are most definitely fun, to say the least, but they are hard. The transitioning to the school work to the upkeep of a social life can easily begin to feel all too much. It is in the midst of all of this where perspective becomes key. The Lord has a set in stone plan for all of our lives, while we sometimes may not agree with the direction of this plan or understand where it is supposed to lead. Once we put our issues into perspective and let the Lord guide us through life an immediate burden is lifted from our shoulder. Put that ease of having a plan for the ease of pursuing the lord and resting your anxieties on him and only him.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
