Yesterday we had our Kellum family photos taken at Walmart. They turned out pretty good. Here, have a look at them.
Last Friday I saw The Sentinel, the movie with Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland. I was expecting great things. I did get things, just none of them were great. They were actually pretty lame. I’m disappointed. I think it could have been a great movie with two leading men like that.
It’s finals week! Today I have a paper due in Multicultural Film and on Friday I have an exam in Christianity in Antiquity. But that’s it. Everything else is done. Well, everything else for school is done. I still have to move out of my room sometime between now and Saturday.
That’s pretty much all that’s going on here. If you’re in the Tallahassee area and want to hang out this week you’d better give me a call. My time is limited, especially as graduation nears.

Here are some things people said about me at yesterday’s Nav Night senior night, some spoken up front and some in letters:
“He’s the most intimidating person I’ve ever met. … He gave me the courage to become an RA next year, so its because of him that I’ll be an RA in Dorman.” — Jacob Meyers
“I feel like I got to know you this past year at the Glen. You’re a worshipper and I’ve just been impressed with your maturity. I don’t know if I missed it before, but I’m really impressed by it. You blow me away.” — Carrie Campbell
“He’s bald, but he’s bald by choice. … Be on the lookout for Ledwith, because he’s going to be President. I just love this kid.” — Joe Chandler

First, before I say anything else I must congratulate Matthew Day and Nicole Kelley, who combined have taught me four classes in my major, on the birth of their first child, a son named Henry Oliver Day. He’s here quite a bit earlier than expected but he and his mom are both doing fine. The comment was made in my Christianity in Antiquity class that with a name like that he sounds like he’ll be president someday. So remember the name folks.
Speaking of Christianity in Antiquity, I just got out of that class for the last time a little while ago. That was, in fact, the last real class I’ll have in my undergrad career. It still really hasn’t sunk in. All that’s left for me now are finals: two tests and a paper. One of those tests is today at 2 PM in Article & Essay Workshop. I don’t have a final in my Business Law class, so that’s all done already. I have a final paper due in Multicultural Film next Monday and a final test in Christianity in Antiquity next Friday. Yes, the same Friday I walk. I don’t like it either. But did you see that list? Did you note that there’s almost nothing on it? I dig that.

Quote of the Day #1: “Right, it’d be about getting it on.” — Nicole Kelley, professor of Christianity in Antiquity, on what Song of Solomon would be about if there weren’t an allegorical interpretation
Quote of the Day #2: “You perform the same miracle over and over in our lives and still we doubt.” — James Barr, while praying at the prayer retreat, observing our inability to trust in God’s provision and sovereignty
The last couple of weeks have been full of big decisions and important lessons. I’m going to backtrack to March 31 when I went on the Nav prayer retreat. We were supposed to be joined by Vic Black but there was a scheduling snafu that kept him from coming. There were about 30 of us who decided to spend the weekend in prayer. This was only the second prayer retreat I’d ever been on and the first since my freshman year. Saturday morning we spent the first few hours thanking God for what He’d brought us out of (i.e. prior to being saved). In the afternoon we concentrated on resting in God, finding peace in His will. It was during this time that I had a revelation.

It’s strange how birthdays work, not to mention the passage of time in general. Two years ago I felt older than dirt when I turned twenty. I was leaving my teenage years once and for all, and while it was a day I had looked forward to for a long time I couldn’t help but feel like I was leaving something behind that I was going to miss. Last year I was completely apathetic towards my twenty-first birthday. The fact that I could legally buy alcohol was not as amazing a milestone as everyone had made it out to be. This year I was actually looking forward to today, though I can’t quite put my finger on why. Maybe it’s because this could be my last birthday spent in Tallahassee, and I’m looking forward to seeing who shows their appreciation for me and how they do it. I think it’s more likely I’m just going soft as I get older.
