Dropping A Class

You read that right. I am going to have to drop a class. I am enrolled for two classes, but I can currently only afford to pay for one. One class is Phil 2311 (Logic) which counts for Math- which I need. The other class is a “Russian Culture” class. It is obvious to you, which class I am going to have to drop. But we both know that the “Russian Culture” Class will be worth money after school. So- I am going to look for scholarships, and since I am in Texas I am going to see whether I am eligible for the Hazelwood Act, which covers the cost of the class.

It seems like I might have to drop a class. But, at UTA I have two things: Student Support Center, and the Veterans Assistance Center. I am going to go to the SSC to ask about scholarships, and to try and get a new ID. Then, afterwards, I am going to the VAC, to ask about the Hazelwood Act. If they make me finish using the Post-9/11 GI Bill, I will have to take a full load. In that case, I will put in my notice with Ranger Guard, to make sure I pass all my classes. I don’t want to do that, but I want to make sure I can:

1. Pay for my classes
2. Pass my classes

My GPA is garbage, right now. But I noticed UTA has scholarships for certain classes. What if “Russian Culture” turns out to be one of those classes? Also it appeared there might be scholarships for being a Junior. So, I will look for those kinds of scholarships. Its really interesting, how I have been blessed with unique relationships on campus, that MIGHT make taking both classes possible. If not- I will use the GI Bill.

Anyways, my Dad was about to throw out a “Voices of the Martyrs” publication. I decided to look through it first. Lets see what Richard Wurmbrand has to say, about casting out demons. In the article Why Could We Not, on the last two pages, the founder of “VOM”, had this to say, about the disciples who could not cast out a certain demon. Found Mark 9: 28. According to Richard, Marx, Engels, and Trotsky were only able to point out, the sins of others, and never there own. He says this:

Without confession and repentance, we will never succeed on the right path.

I think, this means its time to confess our sins. But to whom do we confess our sins too? A Priest. How interesting, because I, am considering attending the Catholic Church, Paul de Vincent, just down the street. Maybe, they have a Priest who takes confessions. See, how VOM has prompted me to take action about my faith? I hope its the right action- at times I feel lost in my faith. So, this might be a good first step. Ever since I went down there, at Billy Graham, with Carol.

VOM is a publication, which keeps track of persecution, and the persecuted church world wide. From China, even in Columbia, where it is said, some groups in that country are now persecuting Christians- and the Government does nothing about it. Isn’t Columbia supposed to be a Christian Country? But its listed right along with Nigeria, and the rest for its violence towards members of the Christian faith. Sad. The persecution is visibly spreading across the world. Wake up, dear reader! The enemy is at the gates!!
