A walk down Memory Lane

Today as Ester the dog and I made are usual morning walk, I reached back in my memory file of the times when I walked down dirt roads by our house in Virginia and had adventures. I would walk through the woods, pick blackberries, and trespassed through property forgotten. I wished I was back there, back in the places where Ester would love because there are so many different things she could bite. I loved walking on the paths less taken, and view senery that the world had hidden away from prying eyes, and yet made beautiful with every detail.

God built me to travel, and I haven't taken one road trip the whole summer. I am deeply bummed, but not despaired. I plan on making the best out of this Fall semester so that next Spring and Summer all I do is have adentures. Watch out Donald Miller, I am following in your tire marks.

Pucca

So I have never heard of this Cartoon Network show called Pucca before i started sitting for the Garcia girls Alex and Angelic. They love this show, and I will admit I am not a big cartoon fan I do like this show. Its premise is that this girl (who can kick Kung Fu butt) is in love with Garu, a nija boy that does not love her back. Pucca is always following Garu, and she normally saves him from trouble.




I will admit that while watching this show for the first time I could almost relate to Pucca. I have a tendance to chase boys, and it always backfires. I can only pray I never looked like Pucca does. But don't worry I don't chase boys any more. I know my Adam will come to me when God decides we are good and ready. To bad I can't share that with poor Pucca. All well... Peace!!

Gas Prices

OK so i know gas prices have looked like this lately...

But this week (for all of those of you that have been under the Sea in an octopus' garden in the shade for the past few days) gases prices went under the $4 mark. Last weekend while driving with my mom i saw it at $4.01. I told her if I saw it go down under $4 I was goingto dance. And then this Wed while driving To FRC Hallendale with IE i saw something like this everywhere...

So when I saw the gas price i did a jig, in which Stacie proceeded to give me a wierded out look. I had to then explain my actions. So make a long story short (too late) I am really, really, really excited that God has heard the cries of this nation and lowered gas prices. Yes, i think God had everything to do with the lower gas prices at the pump!

My iGoogle Theme

Ok, so as weird as this my sound I love my iGoogle homepage Heading theme. Its called Ocean Life and its main character is an underwater Octopus. I love it so much because in a weird way he/she is a reflection of me. In the moring it drinks coffee, in the afternoon its on its laptop, in the evening its listening to its ipod, and at night its reading. I know that might sound like I am describing 3/4 of the American population, but I don't care, I still feel like he/she is a reflection of me on a regular day.

Now all I have to do is name it. So do you guys have any suggestions to my cephalopod friend??

A Good Cause

My Kindred Spirt Brittnee Lynch has been involved with the Table at FRC for sometime now, and she has really inspired me to do the right thing for the homeless. And since she has started volunteering to love on our brothers and sisters that are down on their luck and just need, love and support because they are still human and are equal with those who might have more fortune then they (even though the more fortune look down on the less, even though they are equal in God's eyes); I have read almost every week in my Quite Time about how we should support the homeless, invite strangers to dinner. SO if you want to do the same here is a great way to support the Homeless brothers and sisters in our area.

Hippies Unite

Here is the latest Hippie Music video. Sheryl Crow is know for her political lyrics, so no surprise that she wrote this Hippie song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.



Make sure to notice all the old footage and try to feel the way they used to feel and how similar it is now, but without the peace, love, and hope. This country need a few good Hippies once again.

Summer 08

So since I have been spending my summer at the William's (see John and Jen's profile links to the right ->)I get into a new routine here then I would on a normal summer at my house. The past few Summers have been me by myself remodling my room, cleaning my house, and reading. This summer it has changed dramitcally.

I have picked up some new obsessions.
~Johnathan taught Jen and I how to play Yatzee last week, and the 3 of us have played it like 5 times in less then a week!! I may not be amazing at it, bubt it is so addicting.


~Every summer when I spend time with my cousins at their house they build puzzles, well I took that idea and brought it to the Williams house along with a 10 puzle box set. The whole family contributes, and we use our brains.

~I got the kids hooked on the concept of free books, and movies from the library. We go like 3x's a week, even the 3 year old loves it. I checked out Sleepy Hollow fromthe library this week, now tomorrow Karli and I are going to watch the Tim Burtton version of the movie. I am going to try and convince her read the book after it, but Im not holding my breath. I love to read, so anytime they get roudy I can just say "Ok, everyone go to a quite place a read for an hour, and I get to do something I love, and the children learn to love the written word. Really a win/win situation I think.

Yes, Another C.S. Lewis Quote

"At this very moment you and I are either committing [selfishness], or about to commit it, or repenting it."

So try to think of others in every possible situation, even when almost every angle looks like it should be about you, because face it, this life is NOT ABOUT YOU despite every advertisement on tv.


I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
