Ancient

I feel so old!!!!!

My little sister turned 17 today.

I think I may need false teeth and hearing aids soon . . .

Card Philosophy

I just finished playing solitaire for a ridiculous amount of time. After I finally quit, I was thinking about why I kept playing so long. It was like after I'd invested a certain amount of time into it, it was easier to think that a little more would be OK.

Maybe this happens in our lives - starting something is hard, but the more time and energy you put into it, the easier it is to keep it up. Like living close to God, or exercising, or eating right. It's tough to get going, but it kind once you've put some of yourself into a habit it's harder to stop.

Or something like that. Maybe I'm just lazy and like solitaire . . .

Move Your Feet

I received a letter a few days ago (yes, a real, paper letter! in an envelope!in the mail!!). Anyway, along with it, my friend sent the words to Switchfoot's song "24". I'd never listened to this band before, so I bought the disc tonight and . . .

Wow. They are awesome! Love the songs "24" and "Gone". The whole album is definetly going on the ol' mp3 player.

The song "24" really hit me (guess you know me pretty well, Mel!) It has the line "I am not who I thought I was, 24 hours ago" and "life is not what I thought it was, 24 hours ago". That's how I feel - Jesus is changing me and those around me so fast I can barely keep up!

Anyway, just wanted to share the joy :)

Ow

I don't have anything uplifting to say today; only OW!

My finger hurt from playing the guitar! They start to get calluses, but then they start to peel and itch, and it is really gross!

And I guess if this is my biggest problem right now, I should be grateful. :)

people and His work

How important are people to God's work? I've just been thinking about this lately. What I'm trying to say is: if we don't do what He asks us to, does it get done?

I'm thinking mostly about the people who where important to me at camp, and other times, in pulling me into Jesus' light. If they hadn't done what He asked them, would I be where I'm at?

I doubt it.

Tired

Is it possible to wake up more tired than when you went to bed?

Cause I think I did it!

Stars

Maybe it's because I'm from the plains, but I love the sky. Day or night, its my favorite piece of scenery. And the folks over at Boing Boing are talking about a new way to look at it.

Google just makes cool stuff.
