A dream...my Dad died

I have had a recurring dream...that my Dad dies...

Boy, is it unsettling and it shakes me to my core.

I have had this dream since about the age of 19, after my grandfather died...I also dreamed he died and when he did it was one of the worst days of my life.

Why am I a dreaming this? I am my father's daughter...I think he is the greatest man and I adore him. I love him for all of the love he shows the family. He loves my Mom and my brothers, me, and my sister (absolutely unconditionally)!

I have hurt him and made him mad many times in my life but no matter what he loves me...just like my Father in heaven - I am blessed and I fear for the day that my earthly father is gone. Please know I love you!

Theory of Communication

I am working on a paper this weekend for Theory class... What is Communication Theory, what is my perspective on life (Post-Positivist, Critical, Interpretivist, Pragmatist)? I am about observing the world and my lens is definitely interpretivist. Theory is way to view the world but also to explore the world and our existence - "Why did God create me?" Many times during in my life I have not felt special...but that was not because I was not "special" this feeling was because of the choices that I made and they way that I chose to view my life. I have sinned, as we all have, I have hurt people, I have hurt myself, and I am learning through this journey with God that I even at my lowest point I am still a child of God. Pretty arrogant and humbling (all at the same time)...I guess I thought I was the one that could "break God's back". Who am I to say that my sin is even too great for God to forgive...who am I to think that boldly! The theory that my life represents the best (so far that is) is the "Chaos Theory". What theory explains...just your life?

Grad Student in full swing

I am back to college for the fall and things are in full swing - I love it! I am a grad assistant TA for 2 intro classes with 2 sections it has been an experience of a lifetime. It is nice to feel completely passionate about a job or rather a career path. I have a bunch of work, a ton of writing, and so much reading but I would not trade this for a thing.
