Tweet I read a few blogs regularly, but one of my favorites is Tom Davis’s blog Red Letters. I found this a quote that I liked on his blog today and followed it to the original source  which is where I found the below quote. The letter it comes from took me a long time to read, but there was some really thought-provoking stuff in it. But I liked this portion because this whole trip so far has been a lot of facing my fears and trying new things.  And if only we arrange our life in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in…

Tweet For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

After being reassured by several people that I was not crazy nor was this the last time I would question why I was doing what I was doing, I came up with a plan for school. Mind you this plans includes taking an extra semester to graduate, it will set me up to be in the best position to do what I want to do. Go to graduate school and work towards a phD in Economics.
