Around a year ago I was kinda strapped for cash and wanted to eat a pizza but didn’t have the money to go and get one. I decided to go online and find out how to make the dough and then go from there. I already had some cheese and some sauce so I just needed dough.
Now a year later, I just got done making 5 pizza’s for 6 other people. I love it. Didn’t get to hang out much but I seriously loved it. My favorite was last on purpose cause I knew that people would be full and I could keep the leftovers. Plus not everyone likes pineapple and chicken. Especially my friend Sam he almost vomited the first time I made it. He went off about how pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza for a good 10 minutes.
Umm other than that nothing really profound happened today. Did some reading, helped out at Sisterhood, oh made an amazing smoothie. mmmmmmmm. I am all about smoothies the last three days of my life. I got ice cube trays and now I’m a smoothie making machine. Before I had ice cubes I would make milk shakes and feel bad cause I would use lots of ice cream knowing it wasn’t good for me. But now its straight fruit and ice. I am loving it and feeling great.
Anyways that was my day. Somehow I know that tomorrow is going to be better, because everyday is the best day of my life. It’s really the only way to live.

Ok first off sorry for the delay, but man life can get busy. So there I said it now we are all back on the same page.
I don’t know the last time that I read out of the book of Ezra, but today was the day for just that. I am so happy that I did it too cause holy cow. The stuff that I got out of it is absolutely gold for me right now.
Many of us will be waiting for something to happen or praying for something and when it doesn’t happen overnight we get dejected and give up. We are too impressed by the situations around us to focus on the God that is within us.
We as a people give up real easy, but God never gives up. As we can read in the beginning of the book of Ezra the people are being oppressed and held captive as slaves. I think that if I was a slave I would probably give up. However, it is in the captivity that God works a miracle. He takes a pagan king and has him order the enslaved people to go back to their homeland and build a temple to their God.
HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT? I say very ridiculous, but also just another thing that God can and will do for all of us.
Right now you might be under lots of pressure, stressed out, tired, sick, depressed, or given up on God working in your life. But I ask you not to give up. God can and will work in ways that we will never fully understand or often times even imagine. He works through people we never thought possible to do things we never dreamed of.
As the captive Israelites discovered, God often works when we least expect Him to, and in ways we would never guess. So be bold and ask God to do a miraculous work in your life, and don’t act shocked when it happens.

Have you ever noticed that we as people often refer to some group of people as “they”?
“Oh, well you know what THEY say?”
Who in the heck are THEY? And why are THEY so influential in our lives? I know that the other day I was talking with someone and THEY said this or that about our conversation. This stat and that fact.
What I want to know is where do THEY get off. Telling me all the time that I am wrong and that the things that I have stated as fact are simply impossible or that there is no validity to what I’m saying at all.
On that note, why don’t we as people just try to remember where we hear stuff from. Instead of always relying on them for the facts and all of the answers we could actually just remember that it was Dr. Jim Swanson that said 48% of all new born cold medicine is grape flavored because new borns are more prone to liken the smell and taste of grape medicine to that of a mothers milk. Good old Doc Swanson he’s such a wise made up doctor that studies new born medicine.
Anyways tomorrow is a new day. It is going to be full of glory, intrigue, and hopefully sunshine. Man do I feel strange with it not being at least 110ºF/44ºC in the middle of June, cause its actually 56ºF/13ºC so crazy. My mind doesn’t know whats going on.
Well enough for now. Love you all.
Tomorrow is new jean day for me. I wait for the sale with eager anticipation.

So today was long. Really, really long. I went into work at about 7AM. I was supposed to work till 1PM. However, 1PM turned into about 6PM. So the plan was to get home at 1PM and start working on some of my assessments that I needed to resubmit to college. So I had to go in and pay the resubmission fee which isn’t much, but its never fun paying a fee for something that you had total control over not paying. Anyways I paid my fee no big deal just annoying because it was all my fault.
Then my favorite team in the world lost to the Lakers in the NBA Finals. Thats never fun, being the last loser. All that hope and pride just smashed. (This sounds like a bad country song) (or is it a good country song? I don’t know country songs). Have I mentioned that I love sports. A LOT. More than the average person would. For instance take the average guy off of the street and he knows that Michael Jordan played basketball for the Chicago Bulls. The average sports fan knows that he played and retired and played again. The good sports fan knows all that and that he played at North Carolina in college. Me I know the guy that was picked ahead of him in the draft and know that Sam Bowie will forever be known as the guy that was picked ahead of Michael Jordan. Stupid Clippers. Ok Sorry back to my day.
So I was at work all day long and stuff should have really got to me, but it was strange cause I wasn’t upset at all. It was like everything was going bad and wrong and should have really aggravated me, but it didn’t at all. I was really enjoying staying around and helping people out knowing that I wasn’t being paid, but that it was just out of my own time helping out.
Well anyways it’s a great place to be when you know that even in the midst of a bad day you make it a great day. Now its on to some assessments.

Ok so its 11PM right now and I am anticipating what could be one of the single greatest moments of my entire life since turning 26 years of age.
There is at the moment somewhere around 10 pounds of cow on a grill. In addition to the cow there are chicken parts and I dont know where a sausage link comes from but those are there also. Lets just say that I am going eat as an Imperial King or a large American would eat. Its going to be great but I am going to hate myself in the morning.
Honestly nothing better than good food with some of your favorite people on the planet. I am excited for the laughter that is sure to follow this evening. Ok the dinner bell is ringing and my stomach is saying go.

So today officially starts the 26th year of my life. I think that this is the first time that I have ever actually felt “old”. It wasnt that big of a deal and I wasnt worried about it at all but then I realized that I would now “get” to tick the boxes that say 26-35 on all of the surveys and official forms that I fill out. Man that is scary.
I think that all things considered I am still very young. In the grand scheme of things that is, I am young. But when you are surrounded with people that are all 18 to 20 its kinda rough being the old guy or saying that I am 26 and seeing peoples response.
Well age is just a number and that is absolutely true, but man do I wish my age, the number that is just a number, would be a number closer to zero than it currently is.
Oh well, at least I’m still very good looking.
