Random thought

All I want and all I need, is someone who believes in me.

That is a line out of a song done by Five Iron Frenzy. Its basically referring to God being the one who looks out after the person who is picked on, and overlooked. There are times I tend to think about it in another way.
Oh great, he's going to complain about being single.
No, not really. I really don't know as to what the purpose of this writing is, other than to help me vent and process, and maybe get some feedback from Lord knows who.

For some reason, I had an image pop into my head while driving after church. It was the image of the mirror in Snow White(really random, I know). Now I know this is an example that falls short and does not compare really, but I'm working with what I got here.

Nevermind. I'm too tired to explain it. I enjoy the moments in life where by being around people who, just by being around them, I feel like I'm a better person, and I don't even think about myself as a result of being around them.

Did you know?

... that on the ends of saran wrap and aluminum foil boxes, there are tabs you press in to keep the rolls from jumping out?

Wednesday was a good day.

For the first time in a long time...

...I went roller skating. The 9th and 10th grades went to a rink in Elkhart (not Middlebury). What was the result?

Right now I'm wondering who thought it would be fun to strap wheels on to their shoes? I'll tell you who... the kids who didn't pay attention in Physics class and spent their afternoons riding down hills in shopping carts.

Sometimes I understand my whole purpose at certain junctures in time is to make people laugh. Mission accomplished.

I just wish it could be done in ways that wouldn't make me so sore.

Saw a rabbit hopping by, knocking at his door...

My deepest apologies to the blog faithful out there. Every now and then, I just get consumed by the hustle of life and neglect the 'ol blog. Hopefully I can assuage the void with sever posts today...

Last night, I got to spend the night out away from the world, away from cell phones, from electricity, from running water. Its been a while since I got to slooow down and get away. It was great just to be able to talk about church, ministry and life with one of the coolest people I know(Only a little less cooler that the person he's married to).
