Oops
Oh, Ang, I just realized those aren't scissors by the pictures on my blog. They are a screwdriver and a wrench. What's up with that? Should we add some new pics? Maybe after our trip, huh? Thanks.
Finally!
Okay, I am finally getting to blog again. It just seems like there's no time to even check my email or anything anymore. I can't wait to go to Portland and see Angela and Garrett. I hope the weather is good . . . but then again . . . it is Portland! Ugh. (Oh Angela, before I forget, why are there little scissor pics etc. next to the pictures on my blog? And can you add Matt's blog to my list? Also, if it's okay, would you add Dionna's blog, Eliseo's blog, and Garrett's blog? Thanks!)
I'm one of those people who thinks everything to death. Ya know, who decided that the middle finger is a bad thing? And when did that even begin? Or bad words? I contemplate everything. Not to be gross . . . and I've NEVER done this (but know people who have - Ang . . just kidding!!!) . . . I think it's called the blue dart or something. (Sorry) When did that start? And how did that start? What the heck were those people doing or thinking??? I could go on and on. I love my fellow man . . . even if I don't want to. It is a command from God . . . so I really try. However, my fellow man is so stupid. haha Don't you just wonder, as you come across different people during the day . . . . "What are they thinking"? I guess it does provide us a lot of entertainment. Like, Funniest Home Videos or Just For Laughs . . . I can't believe what some of those people do. Not that I've never done anything stupid . . . but hopefully nothing like that.
I also do this 'random test' thing when I go to the grocery store. I smile at everyone I pass, or say excuse me if I cross in front of them etc. I try to see how many people will smile back. Or, how many people are acting grumpy but I can get to smile. I have to say - over the years - the number of grumpy people has been growing. I think that's sad. However, I also have to say that, when I get someone to smile or say hi it feels really good. Especially if they were grumpy to start with. I was getting frustrated the other day because NO ONE would smile or say hi. I told Matt . . . geez, that's it, I give up. But, he told me that I couldn't give up. I had to keep being nice and smiling at people. He's right. I'll keep it up. I think people just don't realize what we are on this earth for. Really to just love each other. Even if we don't like them . . . we can still try to see them through Jesus' eyes and to love them as He does. I'm not preaching. I'm no where near perfect at this. But I am trying.
Anyway, guess I should close. My messy kitchen is calling to me . . . I tried to ignore it but it just isn't working. PORTLAND OR BUST! haha Only 1 more week.
