Today was just a really awkward and weird day. I hope tomorrow is better ( Read more... )

Spent nearly $300 on my car today. I think I might be sick just thinking about spending that much money on the car. My dad was supposed to pay for it, but conviently he left town so I ended up paying with the assurance that some day he would pay me the money back, but not right now because he doesn't have that much money. Does he think I have that ( Read more... )

I am sad. Terribly sad. I knew this was a 10 week internship when the summer started. I knew that 10 weeks could be really long or really short. I prayed for both, not knowing whether I wanted it to be short or long. I didn't know what to expect going in. I knew it would be challenging. I knew I would grow spiritually and that my faith would be ( Read more... )

9 weeks have gone by incredibly quickly. I have one week left in what has been one of the most amazing summers of my life. I have learned so much from not only my internship supervisor, but also from each of the staff members at second and from each of our youth. They are also such amazing and inspiring people. Sure I have screwed up once or twice ( Read more... )

My dad has been trying to convince me for the longest time, about 2 years now, to get rid of my car and get something else, something more gas efficient, something smaller, something not me. I have been persuasive or rather just plain stubborn and insisted that I liked my car and was not about to give it up. I mean Clifford (the big red jeep) has ( Read more... )

I think I may be getting sick, or maybe I just need to sleep. 3 hours of sleep saturday night is definitely not enough when you have to be "on" for about 7 hours the next day. I'm going to attempt to go to bed early tonight and sleep in a little ( Read more... )

His funeral was today. It was a beautiful tribute to his life and the person he was. I was amazed with his brothers and how strong they were. Not only did they deliver the eulogy, but they were right there comforting their mom the entire time. Nothing is still really known about why and the real reason for his death. There are many rumors on what ( Read more... )

Thomas Routt died Friday in the early am hours. The real reason for his death is still unknown. I never believed that he would kill himself, he had too much in life that was going for him, and no apparent reason to die. I can't imagine what it is like for his or Thomas' grandmother. How awful is it to have to bury your son/grandson. Parents and ( Read more... )

Pastor David's sermon on the four loves left me thinking today. First I think it is amazing when you can sit there and listen to the same sermon two services in a row and pull different things out. Next this isn't the first time David's done this sermon. He's done it twice before and everytime he does it again it is only because people ask. I can't ( Read more... )

VBS went really well. I knew that the one night our activities were outside would be the one night that it would rain. So we got in the van and let me provide directions ending in us going to the wrong place. That's why I don't give directions. Apparently lots of people make my same mistake because when I walked in to ask them for directions they ( Read more... )
