#440 I fornicated with 3 people while I was at ORU. I felt Really bad about it. The 3rd one gave me herpes. It doesn't show that often, thankfully, and acquiring it helped stop my inclination to fornicate.
Alcohol was involved each time. And the one time I didn't use a condom, I got an incurable virus.
Its Sex ed 101. Prayerfully control yourself.
Purity is a beautiful thing.

#439 To the faithful, God you show yourself faithful. I will trust you with the life I have, all my struggles, hurt confusion. I love you, you first loved me.

#438 I will confess that I didn't do enough to help my floormates while I was at ORU. Particularly, when I was an RA. I was too caught up in my relationship with my girlfriend/ fiancee and many of the problems I see on this page could have been going on around me, without me having an idea. Honestly, it's completely shocking, as I never would have dreamed half of these things were going on. I guess I lived in my own little bubble and usually migrated toward those who I felt were living strongly for the Lord. I wish I would have had the discernment and compassion to help more. It's not that I was a complete jerk, but I could have done more... I will say that many, many people come to ORU with major attitude problems. This was one of the toughest parts of being an RA. Some people think that the RAs have a problem, when it's just their problems manifesting when confronted with authority... I wasn't power hungry. Almost none of the RAs I knew were power hungry, either. I enjoyed being an RA and hoped to make an impact. Not all of the guys who were RAs were perfect and some downright were frustrating. Still, I enjoyed the program. I also enjoyed the scholarship... The floors I was placed on, of course, were not typical floors, so perhaps there wasn't as much crazy stuff going on, in all fairness. Not that it gives me a pass for ignoring guys. I fulfilled the requirements of being an RA very well and followed nearly all rules 100% of the time. I wasn't living a double standard. Still, I didn't go above the basic requirements, which is really what being an RA is about. I had experienced a great deal and knew (and know) God in a wonderful way, but I didn't pass it on to those around me, hardly at all. I wasn't the leader that I could have been, and for that, I'm sorry.

#437 I really don't believe pre marital sex is a sin. Every time I say that to someone they quote stuff that specifically mentions adultery, or Paul who was asked if it was okay for a man to marry. The word fornication used to mean prostitution. It didn't mean premarital sex until the 1700s (notanothergeneration.com). Or people talk about the Old Testament where women were sold as property and virginity meant she was worth more. On top of it, when were legal documents available? According to comments, it looks as if we only care about when someone signed a document and not a monogamous relationship. I'm not referring to one night stands. I'm referring to monogamy, but before you sign a US document. From what it looks like in the Bible, the sex is what makes you married, not the other way around. I'm asking this because I've been married for a couple years now and my husband was the first person I ever had sex with, but it was after dating a couple years (we were together five years). I honestly never felt guilty or had any regrets. I don't believe I sinned because we were monogamous. I can't get myself to believe that it's all about when you sign a document. And I know there will be random comments from angry people who waited who believed their way was the best way because thats all they know, and random people with no theology background. But if any people with a theology degree want to disagree, then I'm open to listen since you actually know what you're talking about.

#436 I just wanna say that the women in the girl's golf team are just sizzling.
SO HOT!

#435 After leaving ORU this (mid)semester to get ready to go to another university, not only did I realize that I made some close friends that I will never feel the same without, but I missed skipping chapel twice a week and hall meeting and devos each once a week. I also missed being like the only noticeable Asian around.. haha. Its just not the same anymore. I'm glad I got out to have my transition into another new thing, but I'm glad I went to ORU for 2 years and had the experiences I've had and met the people I've met.

#433 After leaving ORU to go to another univeristy not only did I miss the friends I made but I missed having to go to chapel twice a week and having the entire class pray before exams. The University has its problems but I wouldn't change my experience there for the world.

#432 In the GC during class change walking up those busy stairs with all of us students in the hall I used to fart and crop dust the whole area. Smelly times
