Putting off a paper



So here I am, Monday morning and supposed to me working on my paper for my masters program while also tending to the annoyance that is this migraine. It is now 11:00 and I have gotten a little more than nothing done. I have done some other important things though such as read a riveting article on a long distance runner, and upload photos from my phone to my computer.

I attached a picture of the landscape from my trip to oklahoma for the OSU 10k spring tune up. Just thought that all would enjoy that. I have been thinking about religion and how it fits into nature and life. Don't get me wrong, it fits in perfectly. There is a obvious tie between the two but I have always had a notion that all religion is somehow intertwined, we are under the assumption that "our religion" is the correct one. I feel that it is completely possible that we are all interpreting the same omnipotent being. Taking these camping trips and being out in nature has made me feel closer to God than I have in awhile. Now I feel myself pushing away form the idea of being inside and following the rules set aside for how I have to worship. I realize that I am taking a selfish stand in this and sometimes wonder if I am making excuses for myself.

    Procrastinator!

    God desires a relationship with you. Seek it out. Ask questions. Seriously... He loves you passionately and gives you beautiful gifts (like nature every day) and He wants to be loved Passionately in return.

SPRING BREAK

It has been a long weekend and my spring break is almost over. Thursday we were out of school but had meetings all day. I know meetings don't sound like a whole lot of fun but they were surprisingly not that bad. After the meetings were over I had T Power take me by the Pharmacy and my house so I could get some sweats.  I got sweats so that I could go back to school and participate in a "lock in". Now don''t worry I was not in any danger, the doors were not locked (i checked). We did play dodge ball and kick ball as well as hen's and chicks.   If you have never met me I just want to warn you that I am a bit competitive and I may have gotten mad in kick ball and thrown it a little hard at my bosses wife. Oh well, she was out.  After all the old people were tuckered out from a long day of meetings and then a few intense games we left the building for the day. A few people stuck around and decided that it was time for some mexican food.....and drink.   A good tim

Worry

I guess it is in human nature to worry. But why? It doesn't help. It just reminds me that I am unsure about what is to come. In the near future I feel I may get something out of all my worrying though.... an ulcer . A-Mo was attacked by some dogs next door. Two pits. Now before you go telling me about the breed and how non dangerous they are let me tell you this. I believe that dogs like children are a product of their environment and are taught advertently or inadvertently to behave a certain way. A-Mo was not bitten because the owner came out in time. But I heard those dogs barking from inside my house and even I was scared. Moving from V-Town to P-Town brings an entire new set of issues. I have created these bonds with people that I am afraid of losing. I guess I wasn't as aware of it when I was leaving college bud now I know what distance does to people. I have lost touch with so many of my friends from school, and miss them badly. I love the people I have met and the a

So much has happened since I posted last. Where to start. JHam... began his 12 months of service in the US Army Reserves. Leaving behind baby Lo Lo and Twitt. I feel so bad for this family who from the time I have moved in had supported me and really been a friend. I was with Twitt when she dropped her husband off at the bus that would take him to peoria to begin training before leaving the country. It was one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed. All those families about to be separated. I am so proud of JHam and know that he will do great things and return to his family soon. I have been working diligently in my room at school. Trying to get ready for what will be a wonderful year. It is important to use the power of positive thinking. I have tried to stop drinking as much. Though I won't turn down an opportunity to have a beer with my great friends. This Friday I met up with TP AMo and MetroB. We met in BG and had some drinks and good conversation. I went ahead and stayed
