Books Book Books
Summer is the time when I just kick back and read. In the last two weeks, about, I've read 7 books, and one of them I read twice. That's about all I've been up to lately, although that is all going to change soon, I have Camp starting sunday, and then soon after that things will be very interesting, but untill then i plan to fill the days with cleaning and reading. Hopefully I'll get my stuff all organized and such. Ah so much to do seemingly. Yet so little when I try to do it. Ha ha :)

Thoughts on Time
Well well, I have some time to kill, and I haven't posted for a while so, I guess that is what I shall do.
I'm not quite sure what to write about, so I’ll take that phrase I just used a second ago: I have some time to kill.
Where did that come from? I don't really want to kill time. I suppose I meant I have some extra, but there is no such thing as extra time with God. Time is something to be used, something needed to grow, grow closer to God.
Isn't it a crazy thought that God is outside of time? Like being outside a house? Yet at the same time he is inside us?
My head is getting a bit confused, and I’m not very skilled at articulating ideas, so I shall leave you with those ideas to chew on for now. :)

A Pensieve For You
Alright! I have some thoughts to share! Aren't you excited?
Today I went to Costco and printed some pictures and when I was at the counter to pick them up there was this guy, and we talked a little, and it turned out he was a Christian and he old me how he got saved, and he was a really awesome sweet guy, and we were all see you in heaven! And it was sweet. Then I was in line to get my Costco combo pizza and there was this guy telling me how I needed to get a tazer for self defense, and how much tazers cost, and how he carries a metal stick in his car etc. It was just a crazy side by side of these two characters. I haven't made and definite conclusions based on the side by side, but if you have any comments on it, well that's why I posted! One sweet man secure in Jesus, one aggressive, probably out of self defensiveness. Maybe hat is my conclusion, man 1 doesn’t have to watch his back because Jesus is, and the other is eaten up by having to watch his own... Just thoughts.

Slower Than a Dripping Faucet
I had two sets of thoughts, but maybe after I write the first the second will come back.
I feel like I’m watching life go by, as opposed to living it. Several of my friends are off on missions, leaving my world a little emptier. I feel like I should be off doing... something. I guess I’ve got anti-cabin fever, I need to find something to do with my time or I might pop! My devo reminded me I can't just rush off and do something FOR God, because it's infinitely better to work WITH him. However, i still seem to have nothing to do.
While I’m wondering what else I wanted to write, allow me to direct your attention to the bottom of my side panel to your right, there you will find a blue fox named mango. And a more tab that pops up things you can click and play with her with. Just one of those random add ons one finds when surfing blogs.
Well, the second thought has left me, off to be caught by Scribell (long story). But if you have any prayer requests, comment um. :)
