Working

Today is a Tuesday and like all Tuesdays i am just chilling before i go to work. Except the exciting thing is that i now NO LONGER WORK AT COTTON PATCH (and the peasants rejoiced, "Yea") And i am now employed by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. So here are my thoughts on working

Working

• Working is kinda like a vacuum it is a necessity to keep your house/life in order but sometimes it just really sucks
• My first job...Sacker at United Supermarkets
• My first job that i hated...Sacker at Unites Supermarkets
• Best job i ever had...Fannie Jo's...all i had to do was...sit there...and do nothing...and get paid for it.
• Worst job i can think of...the person responsible for the development of suppository medicine.
• Worst thing about working in restaurant...stupid and mean customers...SO DON'T BE ONE!!! WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING TO!!!
• Worst boss i ever had...my mom...she fired me
• Boss that i love the most...my mom...she still fired me

My Thoughts: Working...money doesn't grow on trees but checks are made from trees.

Warm Days in January

Times change and people with them. THEY ARE NOT WHO THEY USE TO BE!! We all change what determines who we are, are the influences of the people around us. You know it amazes me how at times I think that people fit perfectly together and they are both good people and then due to their influences on each other they change into people who you no longer know. I AM TIRED OF LOSING ALL MY FRIENDS TO CHANGE!!!! But the funny thing is that I see it in myself as well. But the changes in my life to me seem like they are positive ones. Right now I have a more positive view on life than ever before. Right now I have found Blue Eyes and I know I have changed because of her. I have changed for the better but I have the realization that I have to work harder at my other relationships to keep them. We see change as a bad thing maybe it is because we have all sacrificed one relationship or friendship for another that seems to be worth more. We view change as bad and try to stop it from happening but without change it would always be winter, without change it would always be raining, without change life would be a rut, without change there would be no tomorrow, without change their would be know you. So change will come and as seasons change, and the weather changes, as our routines change, and our days change so must we change. Change for one another or change from one another.

My Thoughts: Friends are the seasons of life, ever changing, coming and going. But who will be the warm day in January?

I'm Sorry

"I'm Sorry" You know I feel like I have been saying that allot lately.

"I'm sorry I am didn’t call you back, I'm sorry I'm late, I am sorry I don’t come home to visit more often, I am sorry I am a bad friend, I'm sorry I didn’t get my homework in on time, I am sorry if I made you feel that way, I am sorry If I am a bad boyfriend. God I am sorry I am not a better Christian. I'm Sorry!"

You know I don’t think that I truly realize the meaning of the word any more. It is so overused in my vocabulary that it is just a common no-brainer response, "I'm Sorry." Why do we even say, because we get busted doing something we really shouldn’t have done. What happens if you don’t get busted? What of the times that you are busted by your conscience. What it is supposed to me is that you recognize your faults and you will work hard to change them or to right the situation. But then sometimes sorry comes when there is nothing else that can be done and the feeling of remorse takes over. You know I think I have one thing figure about the definition. I recognize my faults. How can me not when I have so many of them staring me in the face. The reason I say it is because I get busted either by God, myself, or others but constantly my faults rise to the surface and I am face with the fact that I did something wrong and I am wrong because of it. But do I really make an effort to change. Sometimes I feel like I have been doing wrong for so long I don’t even know what right is. When I say it I want it to be from my heart, not from my innate response system.

My Thoughts: I cant promise that I will can make everything right or even mean this as honestly as I should but to those of you who apologies are in order I truly do apologize for my/our shortcomings and I truly am sorry for my/our mistakes.

Forget Logic

You know with school starting back and with the stuff going on in my life lately there has been a lot of stuff to think about. I have been using so much logic lately that i am almost forgetting what my heart is telling me. So today one of my friends said something that made me think about how many things i do because my heart tells me to. There are a few of my friends that i make fun of because they over analyze things (if this applies you know who you are ) but the truth is that i prob do it just as much. I think so much we get wrapped up in the things that are in our lives that we forget to use our heart to make judgments because we are afraid that what our heart is telling us isn't logical...so i was thinking today that i don't really want logic..i want to use my heart and feel passion for something even if it doesn't...especially if it doesn't seem logical. I want a passion and a vigor for life that not only confuses my logic but that defies it.

Things I am Passionate about:
-Christ
-Family
-Friends
-Ministry
-Respecting women

Things I want to have Passion for Someday
-Wife
-Son(s)
-Daughter(s)
-The people of a church i am pastoring

Things i need to work on
-ALL OF THE ABOVE

My Thoughts:Your heart can lead you to heart break or it can send you to the clouds...but one trip to the right clouds is enough to mend all the break...and in the clouds passion is born.

Hurricane Katrina

so my home town in Alabama (the city i was born in) Mobile got hit pritty hard by the Hurricane it isn't as bad as New Orleans the flooding isn't AS BAD but it is still pritty devastating to see the streets that look familiar to you flooded. It is crazy to see the dead bodies on the news just laying on the Interstate. I really kinda want to go and help and to jsut see what is going on but and see it for myself. To take a shot gun and go tell those suckas to put the TV's they are looting down and stuff. I also think that the people helping aren't getting enough credit. All you hear on the news is how the National Gard isn't there and how nobody is helping the people. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING 20+ HOURS A DAY TO BE UNAPPRECIATED. I think the people who are working hard are doing a good job. I also want to mention that these people were told to evacuate the city days in advance and THEY DIDN'T. I am not saying it isn't hard and that they aren't suffering but to blame the government for your tragic mistake isn't fair. Keep these people in your prayers and pray for the restoration of life.

My Thoughts: Keep these people in your prayers.
