A-political

I just today finished reading the book "Traveling Mercies" by Anne Lamott. It was an interesting book. I had known a little bit about her story and background and that was what had me interested in reading the book.

Who You Gonna Call?

Where do you put your confidence? Is it in the things you have? Maybe it's in your friends or family. Those are all things that make sense for the most part right? Maybe you're wondering what I mean by that first sentence. What I mean is this: When things start to get rocky for you-with school, at home, in relationships with the people around you-who or what do you turn to?

Party On

Have you ever wanted to be associated with someone else? You know maybe someone famous. Like to be able to say "Oh, yeah, I know so-and-so, we used to go to school together." Maybe it's more like you are the friend of someone who knows someone else that knows a famous person (or even semi-famous).

But I Didn't Do It...

Ever been in trouble? Has anyone ever stepped up to your defense when you were in trouble and gotten you off the hook? It's a amazing thing when that happens I assure you.

Are We There Yet?

I remember going to Missouri for a family reunion back in 1995. It was a good trip while we were there...then we came home. It's not that being home was bad. No it was the trip home that was the bad part. See I have this thing about trips like this. I like to go and be there and do the stuff that we do, but when it comes time to go home I'm all about getting home.

Here Today...Gone Tomorrow

So today I read Job 1. Job was a man of great wealth and influence. He had everything that he needed. Not only that, he was devoted to God and stayed away from evil. He even offered his own sacrifices for his children in case they sinned against God. He was a man that was on top of the world so to speak.

How Tight Are Your Pants?

I read an article the other day about snowboarder Nate Holland who was upset about some snowboarders in the Olympics this year wearing tight pants. The reason for his being upset is because it goes against the "anti-establishment"culture of snowboarding (which as you know is just like skateboarding, only on snow).
