When I return, I will let you know how feels to be a teenager spending a week in a two-room cabin with a bunch of elementary school kids. And what happens while there. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

Here's To You

There are few individuals that cease to amuse me. One of whom is a woman I recently came to know quite well. We have had similar experiences although she has had many more than I. I'm finally taking the time to brag on her a bit seeing as how I've wanted to post something about her for a while now. Although there are times words just can't quite explain everything, I shall try. She's a huge source of my encouragement and motivation, a true woman who is deeply beautiful in so many ways and I'm so thankful that I've been able to grow closer to her. I have learned so much from watching and listening to her and seeing the mother in her, the wife, the lady, the girl. As I still have more growing up to do, I'm paying attention to others and their choices along with the effects of their past actions. I'm being influenced by so much and I'm so glad that one of my strongest influences is right there when I need her. No one is perfect, but this person seems to strive harder than many I know. Her unwavering beliefs and utmost dedication to the important things in life push me to strive for better than what I previously settled for. She is my inspiration for starting this blog, which is no where near as interesting as hers, but it's a start. She has dreams of becoming a writer and I have no doubt those dreams will be accomplished soon enough. She loves, works, and thrives. It leaves me amazed. Her and her husband (they are the sweetest, most in love couple I have ever known), have raised 4 brilliant children
all seeking to please Christ. Johnny Depp is another love of hers and it is because of her fascination that I came to see him for more than just Captain Jack. I now can appreciate him as the marvelous actor and legendary man he is.
So thank you for all you have taught me. I have gained so much as a result of our friendship and none of it will be forgotten. Neither will you.

La Beaute

What is love? What is beauty? The answers pour down from the sky like melting clouds flowing onto the terrestrial sphere we inhabit. Beauty is become a stereotype, a landmark a free pass, rather than something to be enjoyed and cherished. We devour it, rip it at the flesh. Grinding the very meaning of it to minuscule bits. The remnants left to be observed and broken down even finer. What joy does that indeed bring us? The measly worthless beings who strut about as though we actually know our worth. Wisdom cries out. It begs to be heard by those mortal ears, yet so few will hearken to its voice. No time must be wasted on listening, oh no. No to wisdom. No to truth. Only draw nearer to the self fulfillment, moving forward always. No stopping to think about the decisions to be made nor to the consequences being faced but only looking at the desired outcome.
Beauty rests. It mingles. It dances and flows. It does not strive to break other things apart. beauty is the light seen after the darkness, or perhaps the darkness seen after the light. It is the connection between the individual and the object of an individuals decision. It is found in sight, through colors and shapes. In taste according to sensation and flavor. In audible form through music by one connecting with the sounds heard. The beat becomes pulse, the notes as a river carrying the imagination along, drifting. The listener establishing a connection to the words as they become their own by singing aloud.
It is all around us and it thrives on perception for that is its creator. The human mind decides what is worthy of its own attention. Through this, beauty becomes a tool with which all operate daily.
For some, beauty is all around; others, tis rare.
Everything contains it, but each person's choice whether to seek it out.

Unexpected Blessings

Yesterday, me and a some friends from school were at the mall hanging out for my birthday. We were sitting down at the four or five tables pushed together by the guys. Everyone had food in front of them(except for me, I was about to go out to eat with the Partlows) and we bowed our heads, most of us held hands, and prayed for the meal. After we, well, they started eating and some conversation began, one of the workers at the mall who had been cleaning some nearby tables walked up to us and told us how great it is to see a group of young people praying and serving the Lord. We talked with him for a little while before he went back to cleaning, but I will never forget that. He said he would be praying for all of us and for God to bless each of us.
God is great.

Let's All Learn Something

I just dont wanna do this anymore
How much of an idiot can people be?
Be who you are but dont mind change,
Don't lie to people, don't pretend.
If youre a whore, youre a whore,
you need to change.
If youre a jerk, youre a jerk
and you need to change.
People, just because you change something about yourself doesnt mean that youre a different person altogether.

You can fix things about yourself that are bad and become a better you.
So do it.

I am so sick of people not wanting to make a change from bad to good.

That is so Stupid!
Improving oneself is what life is for.
You make mistakes and learn from them
not, make a mistake over and over and over. you CHANGE. you Grow. you learn.
DUH!
Come on teenagers! Get with the program. No wonder people say the world is corrupt today.
People don't want to solve their problems, they want to wallow in them like pigs in filth!
GROSS!
Get a life! or at least deal with the one you already have.

It's time to wake up.
