To my non-Christian friends: I love you and I warn you. You may disagree very much with this entry. But I'll still be praying for you because I love you. To my bros and sisses in Christ, I love you. I hope my thoughts do not anger you. But if they do, I ask you not to hesitate to tell me ( Read more... )

Peace with life in this world. I have been chasing this ever since I started to practice introspection. In doing so I start to consider where I am holding myself back from getting "there ( Read more... )

And I hang on for the ride. Day by day I settle more into myself. Spending time by myself forces me to delve into the inner workings of my mind and emotions. Talking with Jason allows me to reveal bits of me to myself I wouldn't have found on my own. I want to settle down and run everywhere at the same time. I want to do the whole "find Mr. ( Read more... )

Yes, the storm is almost here. The wind is picking up and so is the rain. But it looks like New Orleans shouldn't get hit too badly. Yesterday was just wonderful! I shopped in the morning, something I just don't do very much. Lately I've had the desire to dress more like someone in her late twenties. Dressing like that makes me feel as though ( Read more... )

A quarter of a million lost power, but not us! The refinery lost power, and we'll spend the next couple days trying to get everything up a running. You can't rush all that crude oil when bringing things back up. There were trees down all over the place on the road, but no flooding. But now Dennis is coming. Should I get out of town? I need to ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in the middle of the path of tropical storm Cindy.

But before that, some backlog. The Baton Rouge interns were here the last weekend in June. Eloy and I went on a date and spent much of the weekend together. He and the other interns drank and partied more than I would have liked, so I ended up leaving them early both evenings. The dates were fun, but I'm not interested in Eloy. We still talk ( Read more... )

So here it goes ( Read more... )

I'm a little sick, but das all right. I LOVE my internship, playing on a refinery is SO cool. I mean, I work in an office, but I get to go into the field some. The refinery even has a fitness center! I can work out after work! I went to a free outdoor concert with Katie and some of her friends this evening, fun stuff. Sigh, met a nice, ( Read more... )

The funny thing is, while being in a place where people are so kind and welcoming, I feel a little uncomfortable. I spent last night at my roomie's house, and so did one of her friends who lives in the same building as we do. And so did her brother's girlfriend. The Schroeders leave their door unlocked. Their childrens' friends and significant ( Read more... )
