Well I just finished my second book of the week, "The Radical Reformission" by Mark Driscoll. It was pheonomenal. Highly recommend it. I have many thoughts concerning it, but I am quite tired in the mental sense. Had a flurry of mental activity earlier today, but my thoughts have subsided and I'm just kind of hanging out--I will blog about it at a later date.
I guess what is on my mind is the simple things of life. The picture I posted I took earlier today of the two women in my life--I think they're quite cute! We had a great day hanging out, enjoying the fall weather and just simply relaxing. Normally I'd still be at work, just finishing up with our high school meeting, so this is a nice change, though it was weird not being there tonight. I missed seeing the students, but it was nice to not have to do any of the planning work. Anyway, I guess my thoughts are on the gifts of God. My thoughts are there for two reasons...First, I just really enjoyed my time with Heather and Sydnie today. Second, contrasted with that joy is the realization of the tough situations many are experiencing even as I write--a good family friend of my parents is in the hospital and the situation is quite bleak and unexpected. Our chuch family is also grieving the loss of one of its members. Life can really suck, and yet it can be great. I guess I'm just thankful for where I'm at and what I've been given.
Though a new Honda Element would be nice as well! How's that for a shallow ending?
man i was thinking about what you said and then i saw the comment about the honda element, and well it kind of ruined it for me!! lol see you at 4:30
ReplyDeleteJordan, looking forward to seeing you at 4:30, but don't diss the greatest vehicle on the planet! I know it may have been a quasi-shallow ending, but when a vehicle is that cool, it's hard not to mention it. Hopefully some day you'll see the light about the Element and realize that if Jesus drove a car, he'd be in an Element. Thanks for your comments and reading my blog. You rule.
ReplyDeleteJamie, ill give you that Jesus would drive a Honda, but im not so sure about the element. My vote goes to the civic, but i guess im partial. lol
