"I do not call you unfortunate," said the Large Voice. "Don't you think it was bad luck to meet so many lions?" said Shasta. "There was only one lion," said the Voice. "What on earth do you mean? I've just told you there were at least two the first night, and--" "There was only one; but he was swift of foot." "How do you know?" "I was the lion." And as Shasta gaped with open mouth and said nothing, the Voice continued. "I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses the new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you." (from The Horse and his Boy, by C.S. Lewis)

	What if you're wrong? What if there's more? What if there's hope you've never dreamed of hoping for? What if you jump - And just close your eyes - What if the arms that catch you, Catch you by surprise? What if He's more than enough? What if it's love? You've been running as fast as you can You've been looking for a place you can land for so long But what if you're wrong?

How big is God? Well, to give you a little bit of an idea... Astronomers estimate that the universe is about 10 billion lightyears in diameter. How they got that number and how they think the universe is even measurable, I don't know. But that's BIG. And God is bigger than that! Cool, huh? To give you an idea of how small we are, our sun is one of about 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Astronomers think there are about 40 billion galaxies in the universe. With that information, they estimate that the number of stars in the universe is at least equal to the number of grains of sand on all the beaches in the world combined. That makes us microscopic. Astronomy is cool. :) Other classes are good too. Praise the Lord, I only have to read 3 books in German, not 7 like I thought initially. (I just about had a heart attack.) Theory is good. It'll probably be hard this semester, but... what can ya say. And of course Turkish is cute. Yes, cute. My prof and TA are the cutest people ever. I like my Turkish class. It feels really good to be back here.
