Prayer request

Tough crowd... guess there're no Tolstoy fans out there. (Or else no people-- i've given that a little thought too.)

Anyhow, to spite my tenebrous soul, and even though i'm always blue, Steph and i have decided that i should go back to school full time to complete the prerequisites i lack to apply to med school. So if all goes smoothly i could be a doctor when i turn 40, give or take. That probably won't come as a huge surprise to those of you who've endured me for any time at all, except that i've actually decided to do something with a goal at the end of it. i would appreciate your prayers, cuz it'll be a long row to hoe and i have a predilection for (lessee) taking the long way home. Also i'm gonna try my hand at being more upbeat, flattering, and generally sappy so i'm not such a burden on the opinionated anonymous among you.

Grace 'n' Peace.

Wow, that's awesome Cody ! You must be very smart because I could never do medical school.
There's a very high demand for nurses and Doctors, that's a good field to get into - a lot of security !
As for your "opinionated anoymous" I say don't change who you are just because of what someone says.
Who cares what people say (that's my motto:) he/she just obviously has a lot time on their hands, no life and a lot of anger.

Thanks for the well-wishing, Deborah. Smart i am not; tedious, however, i am. i've heard it theorized that if you stick 10,000 monkeys in front of 10,000 typewriters for 10,000 years, you'll eventually get a full script from a Shakespeare play. i'm not at all sure that's true (maybe it's a million monkeys...) but i'm counting on it as a principle: if you stick a cody on the road to med school for ten-thousand years, eventually you'll have a doctor.

As for the anonymous personage, i didn't get the impression it was being mean-spirited or even particularly lifeless; i just have fun blowing stuff outta proportion. (So come back, do, li'l anonymous, anonymous, anonymous, and you can be my fifth faithful reader... you can be my bodyguard, and i will be yer long lost pal...)

Does this mean that you will be moving to Dallas? We have Med Schools.

I want to prayer the Levitical blessing over you - "The Lord bless you, the Lord keep you, the Lord make his face to shine on you and give you peace"

Love,

Sean

Wait a minute! Don't they have Pepsi/Frito-Lay where Cody lives?

And a big amen (AMEN) to, um, jason. For, unlike Dallas, we have a big mountain blocking our view of the east. we just got finished watching "Malcolm X" a few minutes ago, and now i think maybe i could live in harmony with someone of the afro persuasion. (Afterward i shouted "i am Malcolm X!" with a bunch of kids and then got schooled by Nelson Mandela.)

Thank you for your prayer, Sean. It's a blessing to have you as a brother. Your prayers are worth more to me than i can let you know about without getting all blubbery and losing my cynical, jaded schtick.

jd,

You know you were just looking for an excuse to use the A-word.

[condescending silence]

Now, if jw went an' hucked hisself off'n a cliff, would that make it ok for you to do likewise?!
Mmhm. Mmmhm. My, my. That ol' lion'd lead even the elect astray if'n that was possible. Yessiree.

But i sho' do appreciate the vote o' confidence, unclean references to boo-tay, notwithstanding.

May a peaceful friday fall on Clan T.
