Prophet

I just finished my Christmas present, a book titled "Prophet" by Frank E. Peretti. :)



With my busyness at college, I couldn't make enough time to get through it while in Cincinnati. Any time that was a good time to sit down and pleasure read, I would grab the Prophet. But I have now finished it and conquered! I really did enjoy it too. I did think that Peretti might get deeper into the plot somehow, but I didn't stand a chance with guessing how the whole story would come together in the end. It did have a "happy ending" which I sort of thought it would have in the back of my head. I think the book's story can open our eyes to that God is still working in the present world( which means the devil is fighting back too) Plus, we all know that sin and crime doesn't pay, so our "sins will find us out".

( I did have a fav quote out of the book but I cannot find it at this present time)

In the news today, I am itching from those bites I got last night by those blood suckers( not vampires :P ) Those lil buggers just love my blood!!! I went to the youth gathering last nite and yes I did have bug spray on, but they just went through my clothes. Wicked, wicked, wicked creatures. (and don't give any such speech about mosquitoes being good for the environment, they could be good in a more friendly, less itchy way, right?)

In other news, I got a new cellular device :)

week

Well, tomorrow will be a full week that I've been home for summer break. Besides the school work, I have slowly grown to love Cinci and now I miss it. I'm a "country boy", but I think I like certain urban and rural areas.
I have done a bit around here though. Been going to church("finding some religion",it's a joke because I work so much down at school), went to the Cherry Blossom Festival, been making calls for a job, been working around the house with weed eating, trimming, and sweeping.
I've been wanting to read my books and find new ones and what not, but I haven't made or found time for them yet. I miss 'em.
The activities to do never end....

We cross the bridge one more time, but this time it is without you. I'm convinced I believe in the mystery that time flies. I'd give almost anything to get one more chance to look in your eyes. I just keep reminding myself that the time will come again when we can create memories of new. The way you kept turning, the way you were yearning, is playing over and over in my mind. All the fun times we spent together are on rewind. Your voice was always a pleasant surprise. Like the caffeine to my coffee to help me rise. Now, I'm alone and fighting sleeping, doing anything to stay awake. But when I do wonder off to the dream world, I imagine you will be there. Plus since you're there, why should I care? And when I'm there, it won't matter if it's real or fake. In your own words, "It was the perfect ending", and I couldn't agree more. You've been the best thing that has happened to me this year, touching my inmost core. In an unusual way, I've been taught to never say "Never". I wonder what it will be like to truly miss you. I can't wait for you to come back in the sky so blue. It's a good thing this break doesn't last forever.

Burning

I go back and sit where you did. The car has never felt so empty. I sit in silence like never before. Terminals will not be the same in my mind like they used to be. You gave a quick hug and headed for the lines. The gates took you out of sight. Going to a place I know nothing about. I'm sure it's a mix of dark and bright. You seem to wondrously make the sun shine my world. The sun has followed you home and left me here with the clouds hanging their heads at me. How long will I be left here shaking on the side of everything? This recession has taken its toll on me and I wonder what it would be like if you were here with me. I listen to your favorite music. This upheaval has given me a complex. My willingness to wait has been stretched. I somehow figured that you would be next. The sun comes out and shines on my face. It reminds me of your lines and hair. The warmth and comfort are a welcome embrace. I'm breathing heavily and running for your air. The burning only brings your face through my mind. Don't let the waiting and confidence hold me blind.

Basking and Busken

I am basking in the sun light with my Busken :) I'm sitting in the window seal in the warmth and seeing the lives float by doing there thing.
This morning was the morning of the annual Donut Run here at GBS. Of course we got up and went before the sun was peeping it's face out. Getting down town to the Basken Shop was an adventure in itself too And guess what, as soon as we get there guess who walks in the donut/coffee shop: A Police officer :) It jus' made me laugh to myself.

AHH

Yes, finals week is over and now we just have a week of camp meeting ahead of us. Everyone has been saying how it feels weird that we don't have to be so busy with homework and projects, but I will embrace this weirdness anytime :)

Oratorio

Last night, we performed Messiah by Handel in an oratorio. Even if it was fun, I am glad it's over.
