How do you eat a Reese's

What is the socially acceptable way to eat a Reese's peanut butter cup? For many it is to simply remove the wrapper and shove the entire Reese’s cup into their mouth. This seems to be the most common method used in the guys’ dorm. There are some who like to eat the edges first then eat the middle. One of my friends says there is only one way to eat a Reese’s and that is to eat all the chocolate off the Reese’s, wash it down with a glass of milk, then roll the peanut butter part of the Reese’s into a ball and eat it. Some even eat the middle first and then eat the edges.
Here are a few comments from some of my friends here at GBS
"I nibble, I love them, so I want them to last as long as possible" Jes May
"Don't eat period!" Hannah Emery
"Like heaven on earth" Alvin Robertson
"Savor the peanut buttery goodness" Jeremy Emerson
"Eating Reese’s peanut butter cups fills me with such euphoria" Lauren Barger
Reese’s "make me feel happiness because you just can't get too much of a good thing especially when it comes to Reese’s" Kin Hurst
"Eating Reese’s cups is exciting" Charity Frazier
One last thing I noticed is that people don't seem to know how to spell REESE’S the treat they so dearly love. Special thanks to Jesse Britnell who gathered this info for me, and thanks also to each one who participated.

So, how do you eat you Reese’s peanut butter cup??????????

Self Acceptance

I blogged earlier about how we have to accept ourselves before God can use us. This time I want to wax elephants (or something like that) about accepting ourselves. I think that learning to accept ourselves, at least for the greater majority if not everyone, is basically a conscious effort at first. We must ask God to help us see ourselves in the way that He sees us. Only then will we be able to truly accept ourselves as we are. One of the reasons that we don't accept ourselves is because we don't think that others accept us. We see some little imperfection and Satin says, "Yuck!!! Do you see that? That is totally sick. You have to be the ugliest thing under the sun. In fact you're so ugly every time you walk into a room everyone vomits in their mouths." And, we're like, "Oh man, that is so true. I can't believe it. I probably made Harry sick yesterday when I said hi to him from across the parking lot. I wish I was never born. Oh! Why does God hate me? Why didn't He make me good looking? I am absolutely totally trash." Then we refuse to ever accept an opportunity to minister for God and we miss out on so much. In order to help someone accept them self here are some things to remember: others don't care about your little imperfections nearly as much as you do, others don't care as much about the way you look as they do about the way you are, and God made you the way you are and He has never made a mistake and doesn't make trash, and He loves you and accepts you just as you are. So, if God accepts you who are you to not accept yourself? Do you think you know more then God?

Is Jack a dull boy?

Well, it has been a long day, a great day but long. So, let me quote my favorite Scripture. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Now, I realize that is not Scripture and I am not Jack but it is still my favorite. I reckon we have all heard that old cliche, but what I would like to know is if there is any truth to it. I know a lot of men who work all the time and I don't think they're dull. I do suppose that if a person were to actually work every minute that he wasn't sleeping or eating they could become rather dull. But, in all reality I don't know of anyone that actually lives like that, if you can even call it living. I guess someone could be considered dull if they never participated in fun activities. So, maybe it would be better to say that simply no play makes Jack a dull boy. I think that makes sense. I wonder why I didn't think of it sooner. Oh and, eating and sleeping are my favorite too.

Achievment and Order

Does the present state of one's dwelling place effect their ability to achieve? Living in a dorm room with two other guys has been quite different then what I was used to at home. Here at school our room is often in a state of utter chaos. At times a heap of clothes, that have recently been washed, occupy over half of the couch while the floor is littered with various other objects. Our desks, which are our personal place of study, also need seemingly continual care. This past week I took three exams, and . . . well lets just say I scored much lower then my average grades in high school. Now as I meant to say my room here is not as tidy as my room at home was. So, does that mean that my less-then-perfect grades are due to the disorderly state of my room? If it does, it sure would be easy to get better grades, but as our English Comp book Writing Analytically explains though there may be some validity to this style of reasoning, it is not that conclusive. I really do think that an atmosphere of order will assist one's abilty to think in orderly thought paterns, but probably for the most part I just need to spend more time studying.
