Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great.

First started off with the Turkey Trot which I did very well in. Last year was a disaster for me so I didn't want to that again. I finished 75th out of more then 2000 people. The start was a walk because there were so many people but I went for the sidewalk dodge people to catch up to the front of the pack. I have some people noticing me off in the sidelines, which is awesome. This one guy says, "I have a hell of a kick." I said, "Thank you." Carrie did pretty well to. She said she could go faster so that is a good thing for her.
I went home to Jefferson City and slept for a while. Then I made my mom proud by going down to clean up some of my old school stuff. I was trying to find something that I never did find but I did find a lot of other stuff. I did that for two days. I went to "Walk the Line" with my sister and one of her friends and it was pretty good. I like Johnny Cash so I enjoyed it. Hanged out with the family kick my little cousin's butt ant video games. I can still hold my own I would like to say.
I had to tackle my goofy dog cuz he wouldn't come to us. Don't worry the dog is ok but I got a llittle scraped up. When I come home he seems to want to run. When I come he knows he can be little more of a little devil and not listen cuz he knows I will come after him. I don't mind most of the time but let me tell you what I get a great workout from him.

what does love have to do with it

love (l v) n.
A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.
An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object.
A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.
An expression of one's affection: Send him my love.

A strong predilection or enthusiasm: a love of language.
The object of such an enthusiasm: The outdoors is her greatest love.

Don’t jump to conclusions here. This isn’t about me.
Lately this subject has come to my attention a lot in my everyday life. I have found out the good parts and bad parts about love in the past couple of months and years. I’m not an expert and probably will never be but I have had time to think of the experiences that have come in my life
Love can be one of the most greatest feelings in world that you feel for a mother, father, sisters, brothers, relatives, girlfriend, boyfriend, friends, pets, and anything else you can think of from food to running. Where you feel a deeper connection to that person or thing that you can’t live without it. Benefits of these feelings are floating on cloud nine to just knowing that person well enough to know something is wrong by the sound of there voice.
Love has it’s ugly side also where the emotion of love that lets you feel of deep, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude for a person or thing that gives you that great feeling can over power you to sometimes do stupid things. These emotions tests relationships with family, your friendships to being hard your body physically and mentally.
The emotion of love is a great feeling but it is very dangerous to where it seems that you look at someone or something through rose colored glasses to getting the wool pulled over yours where parts of your brain seems to shut down and emotion takes over where logically you aren’t thinking strait. Sometimes making people doing things they wouldn’t usually do not acting like themselves are even maybe showing their turn colors. The worst is when you let that person or thing control you such as being addicted to a drug making that person or thing the main thing in life.
Like I said I’m no expert, far from it, but I just wanted to warn all to keep your head when you are falling for someone or thing. It can make a mess of your life and others around you. I have seen it and it isn’t pretty. John Lennon said “All you need is love” and I don’t think that isn’t completely true. Have passion for life and things you want and need in your life but I ask to you keep a leveled head about you. Don’t rush into things and don’t forget the people and things that make you who you were before the ‘love” came in your life.

I love this song and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!

When I Get Where I'm Going (feat. Dolly Parton)Rivers Rutherford/George Teren (ASCAP)/(BMI)
When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that
I'm gonna doIs spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his maneOr I might find out what it's likeTo ride a drop of rain
Chorus
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going

Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neckRepeat chorus
So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to doBut when
I get where I'm going

And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get whereI'm going

There'll be only happy tears
HallelujahI will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

He Returns!!

Last was great!!! I fixed dinner for Jen and it was interesting. Oh, it was good because I made it but the salad dressing was a little out of date. Don’t ask but Jen had fun giving me crap for that.
Last nite was great also because when Jen and I were watching Star Wars Episode One we had some unexpected visitors. Missy and Erin came over saying I usually show up unexpectedly so they thought they would go a head and do it to once. It was great to see them and they got to know Jen a little better. Not for long but long enough to know she won’t bite.
We they left and decided to go make cookies. Jen and I finished the movie and talked about some stuff and then she left and went home where she called to say she got home and we began to talk till 2 or 2:30 in the morning. I’m glad she gets to sleep in and I’m getting good at lasting on 4 hours of sleep. Oh I hear it will catch up with me and I know it will but we are doing well.

Ok for those who know me I’m a big Batman fan and that I think Superman is a to much of a boy scout but superheroes are my thing and the teaser trailer for superman as just come out and it is only 9 and I have seen the trailer it like 5 times already this morning.
So here it is!! Enjoy!!

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

single for the weekend

The weekend was great seeing some of my friends that I haven’t seen in like months. I have been a busy boy with work, training, church activities, and getting to know a certain female.
I went to go see Red Eye with Renee Friday nite where going into the movie I didn’t think I would like it but coming out of the theater I was impressed at how good it was. I give it 5 out of 5 stars on that. Saturday Rachel and I went to the trails to walk around and catch up where we had a great time.
Saturday nite Jen H got everyone together at Ruby Tuesdays to see each other. Good Job Jen H!! Then afterwards some of went to go see Chicken Little, which was corny but cute for a kid’s movie. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
I had a great weekend and it was icing on the cake when my Jen called to say she missed me. How cool is that!!! I like her!
Sunday I went to both services where at the first service we had like 6 members but we sung great. I heard people saying how good it was. The second service we had more people were did a pretty good job also. Put the first service we had to stuep it up and sing for God and pulled it off and it was awesome.
Sunday nite Jen called to tell me that her flight would be delayed and that she probably wouldn’t be able to call me that nite but at 3 am I got a phone call from her saying she as back in St. Louis and that she would talk to me later.
I have notice that I keep forgetting things and I feel like a bad friend when I say I’m going to be some place and I forget. I just have to much going on in this brain. So I am sorry if I haven’t kept my word. I thought I would never become one of those people but I’m working on it. I think I did something stupid last nite but it is done and can’t do anything about it now. The only thing I can do is move on and hope I don’t end up feeling like what did was to much.
