So on Sunday, my laptop got stolen. It could be a student or possibly a walkin from the street, since Lincoln is pretty close to the edge of campus and the main road.
It sounds like the school wants me to pay $1300 to get a new laptop, since technically the laptop is their’s until I graduate. I’m gonna try to hold out. First, the laptop is not worth that much now… the market is very cheap now. Second, I plan to graduate. I have to reread the policy, but it doesn’t make logical sense to me. (It would be better if i didn’t report a theft if I didn’t want to be forced to pay for another laptop.)
Ahh, well, I complain too much. I need to focus on the good stuff.
The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Job 1:21
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
– Psalm 84:11
Romans 8:28
Romans 4:18-25
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead–since he was about a hundred years old–and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.
20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone,
24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness–for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
