    There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

    -Douglas Adams

    I really don't feel like writing on here right now but I'm procrastinating from doing my homework...Yeah, that's right, homework with mission year. Don't be jealous it's really not as exciting as it sounds.
    I'm really just tired. Not only is mission a full-time-never-sleep-ready-to-jump-in-front-of-a-car-just-to-get-some-rest kind of job but taking classes with Eastern just makes life all that more exciting. I got off work a little early today so I decided to make a run for the library and try to get my paper writing on. So far I've written 4 pages and looked up colleges I might be interested in after this swirl of chaos is over. Mission Year is pretty hard and I would not recommend it to any old Joe but I am learning a lot about this big wide world and God is never far from here. Plus, I figure after this I could pretty much take on anything (including lions, whales and most kinds of dragons). I mean I never knew how much stuff I could get done when I cut out sleeping. I do need to learn to say no every so often. I've been so busy with school and work and church that I don't feel like I've gotten to spend that much time with my neighbors and I miss them. It's funny we're here trying to make an impact on others and I can only feel their impact on me.
    ugh, I didn't really expect for this to go all serious on you...eh, well.

  • With eyes like Jesus

    Lately I have found that those I see furthest from God are the ones that resemble Him the most.

     The antitheist who etched the words "another world is possible" on to arm while claiming that he could not believe in God because the world was too screwed up. The homeless drugaddict who stands on the same corner everyday in my neighborhood. The man that lives in my apartment building who admits he doesn't know what he believes but knows he would never give up a life promiscuity for God.

    As I sit a listen to the stories of these men I can;t help but to look into their eyes and see a resemblance of Him. It's the eyes that capture me...They hold such pain and sorrow but at the same time a sort of warmth and a some glimmer of hope just at the very corner.

    These men I know with eyes like jesus....in the depth of my soul I feel the love that Christ has for them.

  • "we die only once and for such a long time"

    there's 27 million slaves in the world today... 200,000 of them live in the USA.

    Most slaves in the world are women a children.

    The sex slave industry is almost bigger than the tabacco industry.

    Something has got to change.

    There's is so much to be done and is able to be done. This injustice can be stopped. If we can just pull together then we can stopped the enslavment of millions of children. I can't just sit a pretend that this secret world of bondage does not exist and if I do I should be damned to hell...

    Ecclesiastes 4:1

    Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them.

  • Kryptonite....

    I'm getting my tattoo in about two weeks...I actually talked my sister into getting one with me...Mwhahaha! This is mostly pay back for all the stuff she has talked me into like when she got me to jump off the barn roof when I was 12 or when she talked me into going skinny deeping in the ocean just as the sun was coming up (actually that was just last spring break...)

    So this is pay back...for the rest of her life...muwhahaha!

    ok, I'm done being evil.

    Anyway, I'm getting an oak tree on my fore arm with a peace sign thing  carved in it and then "another world is possible" written along the side. My sister is getting a birch tree on her upper arm with a peace dove coming out of it..... HA! I'M EXCITED!

    Other then that I'm still doing pretty much nothing. I mostly take naps in parks and read books on street corners. Looking for a church I can really connect with has been a little harder then I thought.... they're all proving to be the same meaning I really just don't feel like I fit in. Is it weird if people at church are just too clean for me? By saying clean I mean not really connected with the real world. I don't know I could just be crazy....  Oh well the search will go on!

     Just on a side note:

    I miss Rich....... a lot. More than I could put into worlds....I miss him

  • Juice squeeze....70% Juice!

    So, here I am....at home. No Job, No school, nothing really to do.

    I mean Olympia has plenty I can do but when you're alone...nothing seems worth it.

    I haven't showered in a week... I just walk around town.

    I really can't wait until I get to Chicago! AH! To feel useful and to be around other Christians again....My mouth is drooling at the thought. Oh well, I guess we all have times like this when life is just whatever....

     

    SEPTEMBER GET HERE SOON!!!!!!
