| As I lay in my warm bed at 5:45 this morning, listening to Rosemary Clooney croon her heart out in an attempt to stir me from the warmth and comfort of my feathers and jammies, my phone rang. On the other end of the line was a half awake friend of mine from work; she had the pleasant task of informing me that the busses would be running late due to a late start for the kids at school. Happiness flooded my blanket covered self, as I snuggled back in to my self made cocoon for a little more shut eye. Shortly following this encounter, my cell once again began to serenade me. This time on the other end of the line a different friend from school. She wanted to make sure I had received the message, I stirred enough to inform her that I had in fact been given the pleasant news and once again found the niche in my pillow that was shaped like my head. Rosemary was now crooning in more of a lullaby manner and I began to drift on the sea of comatose to the land of dreams. A short time later my ship was once again called into the port of awareness by my cellular device. Apparently, someone had decided not to take the busses out of their warm barn on such a cold and blustery day. The first friend was kind enough to update me of this tasty morsel of info, and allow me extra time on the sea. The idea of school starting at 10 was one I felt confidant I could get used to. Back out to sea and my favorite little island for another round of ... whatever one does on said allegorical island. Just as I was dropping my anchor in the bay of awake, the tune began again. The second friend was wanting to know if I had heard the news. "that the busses were not running," I asked, "Yes, I had been told." She said, "Oh, not only that but, that the studious get a pause in their studies that would last the whole day." I felt the need to revive a celebration from my childhood affectionately known as 'the no school dance'! I had more phone communication than I do most days, and all of this before 8 in the morning. Don't you just love the snow!?! | | |

Either that or my life has gotten real boring. Today was bad, I've been in almost constant pain for about 3 weeks now and after a while it really starts to wear a person down. I've been cranky and whiny. All because I can't walk like normal. Then this evening I was checking my e-mail and recived this note from a friend of mine overseas and it made me realize that I have so little to whine about. I'd like to share this with you. I don't know if I can agree with their thoughts about me esspecially after a day like I had today but the rest is worth reading. "Well I know you how determined you are you will always succeed. That's why I enjoyed being around you so much you never lose faith. I think of you all the time and how your faith keeps me going. I too feel helpless in a country where no one cares if we live or die all you see is vast desert, a desert that breeds nothing but death, a culture that believes violence is the answer to being with their god. You want to come home but there are so many still that here that they would be left behind and you never leave a man or woman behind with firefighting or war everyone comes home. We watch the news back home the protests the anger. Lets leave those burried in the desert with all the reason to die and give up. No we have our own mission or own freedom to see others be free to see others be happy under the blanket of democracy that protects us all. Muslim, Jew, Christian we all have a right to be free. Freedom has a price and for me it is here with my fellow brothers and sisters making this vast desert of death into an Oasis of love. " American Firefighter/EMT Kuwait
Oh Lord forgive my whining and feelings of helplessness. Mine is a life truly blessed. Yes I have to be on crutches for another month, and yes I'm in constant physical pain. However, I still have both arms and legs, I have a family and friends that love me and are willing to take care of me.(even when I'm cranky) My leg will heal and I will be back to as normal as I come. I can get around, even if it takes me a little longer than I would like. I live in a country where no one is out to get me just because of my faith. How shallow I have been. How selfish. Shame on me and my cow! :) | | |

6 WIERD THINGS ABOUT ME! hmmmmmm.......... #1. My right ear sits about 1/4 inch higer on my head than the left. #2. My Pinky toenails grow straigt up instead of out. #3. My Itunes holds everything from Waylnn Jennings to Nat King Cole to Third Day and almost everything in between. #4. I work in a coffee shop and have dicided that I don't truly like lattes. #5. I don't enjoy being the center of attention.\ #6. I think Luke Duke is verry much the cuter of the Duke Boys. :0) | | |
| On January 6th I dicided that my life was boaring and that I don't get near enough attention so I found a statigicly placed patch of ice. Allowed the distal end of my lower left extremity to do a little slipping and there it was. !*SNAP*! I then proceded to fall to onto said patch of ice and left in an ambulance. It took 2 nights in the hospital, surgery, a plate and a pin to put this humpty dumpty back together again. So here I sit looking for things to occupy my days, considering there is little for me to do at my job that requires much standing. I'll be off my left foot untill at least the first part of March. I have an apointment with the surgon to see how well it is healed up and then maybe I'll be allowed to put some weight on it. (I hate crutches) SO that is what's new in my world. I'm open to time killers, I can only watch so much T.V. | | |
| Yea so I found a hole a couple of weeks ago and jacked up my knee! I went to the Dr yesterday and she said that I'll heal, I'm gonna hurt but I'll live. I sprained my MCL legiment and I've been hobbling for the last two weeks, making it difficult to do my job. Which I do like. I've spent more time behind a mower and a weedeater this summer than I think all my life put together.
My Roomate Crystal is going to be the death of me! If I don't kill her first. I'm real tired of discussing Mormonisim and even more tired of her acting like she is 12 instead of her 22. She has been lied to all her life by the Morman church and even goes so far as to tell me that my belifes are nothing more than that of an Apostate. Apparently we don't have the whole truth and our scriptures are faulty because there have been too many 'men' involved with the whole process. (hoever Joseph Smith apparently wasn't just a man when he did the whole "new revelation" thing.) I am amazed at how blindly she belives things. Maybe it is my rebel heart that questions everything, and I'm the one who needs to just belive it. But I'm a Berean so I'll just study it out and let God do the talking instead of letting the 'Church' lie to me!
So yea I read the devil book. *insert smirk and roll of eyes* I really don't know why all of Crisindom is all up in arms about it. Yes there are some very obviouse discrepancies, about Christ and what I belive to be fact. However, if one remembers that this is in fact a work of fiction and not fact it is a good story. I don't understand why so many Christians expect those who are not followers of Christ to act like Christ. *News flash: THEY ARE NOT GOING TO!!!!*
I'm not saying that everyone should go out and read this book or watch the movie I'm just saying that it was a good story, and reminding those of you who take the time to muddle through my rantings that it is in fact a work of Fiction and not Historcial fact.
WOW that my be one of my longest posts yet That's what you get when I start ranting. | | |
