@ Ozark - Productive Day

Today I tried out for Ozark's Baseball team; I did a mile in 6:23 and a 40 yard dash in 5.4 seconds. Apparently I am a longer distance runner than I am one who can sprint. Hmmm.... then why am I trying out for an outfielder... weird.

To get ready for open house for Boatman (where the ladies can come into the guys dorm rooms for a few hours) I went and bought some photo frames and printed some digital pictures. It now allows me to remember my home, back home. I am glad I did it because, I am proud to know my brother, my family and Rachel.

I also used my AAA card today when my friends got their keys locked in their car. It was really sketchy because I didn't have to show my credentials at all. He just got the passenger door open before I even got outside and he said that he just noticed his tow truck had a fuel leak, so he had to go. It was really shady, but the door was opened, so the problem was solved.

Tonight was open house, and I got many comments on how the passer by's liked my bandanas hanging on the wall. So that was cool, but yea... it's just open house. 

@ Ozark - Why must I have crazy ideas?

From looking back at my life I see that God has made me to be different. No so much different that I might look different than others physically, but just the way my mind works. I really think I might have the mind of a female sometimes because I overanalyze things and just make a mess of things in my mind. In other occasions I have crazy ideas of the purchasing nature. Since I am always looking for newer, crazier things it would seem natural that I could find some fascinating.

I like car audio and because of it, I have fashioned this idea that I am going to bring a car audio system, into the house and make it work. I plan to do this with a large AC/DC power supply. When I used to work at Circuit City, our car stereo boards were run off of a large AC/DC power supply. This allowed the boards to power multiple head units, a 4 channel amp to power speakers, and also an amp for some subs. I, basically have this idea that I would like to do that, but in my room. The thought might get jumbled around but when I realize what my priorities are, cease to exist, or it may manifest into something more, and actually happen. Right now I’m hoping on the latter, but who knows.

This is just but a glimpse into my mind; it’s a strange one that’s for sure.

@ Ozark - Best QT in a long time

I have been going through Genesis during my quiet times and don’t think I ever grasped the story as much as I did this time around. In and around Genesis 25-28 Jacob and Esau, who are twin brothers, have hatred between one another. Basically Jacob is a crafty fellow and gets Esau to sell him his birthright for a little bit of stew, when Esau was extremely famished. Then when Isaac (their father) is old and wants some good food, he asks Esau to catch and cook something up good before he blesses Esau. Jacob tricks his father into giving himself the blessing by dressing up like Esau. So Esau has every reason to be mad at him. Well Jacob moves away and is gone at least 14 years, then he establishes a family and wants to move back toward home. In Genesis 32 Jacob prepares to meet his brother Esau again, but with gifts. It’s strange though because it doesn’t seem like Esau is up to the task to meet his brother alone, so he brings 400 people with him. At this point I’m thinking all of them are going to be yelling “fight, fight, fight, fight!” When in Genesis 33:4 it totally flips around, because Esau runs up to his brother Jacob and throws his arms around him and kisses him. Right when I read this, tears started forming and I was just thrown at the mercy of Bible. It’s this kind of love that I need to show to my brother Drew at all times; even when I feel I have taken away everything from him. This story instantly made me think of Drew and I and such, and just what it was like to come home from the 1st semester away from him and to give him a big hug. Oh gosh, I really feel that I need to do it again, soon. I just miss my brother; he is a vital part in my life, even though he wishes he weren’t.

This is dedicated to my brother.
