| I haven't posted in a REALLY long time. man if I were xanga I woulda booted my sorry arse out of this joint a long time ago.
Well since July I've been dating an amazing girl named Kate. I love you much, but she is very fragile and exhausting. It is tough to understand why God would employ so many illnesses to one person like depression, ciliacs disease, allergies to everything, cutting, anger. Some days are good and some days are bad, real bad. Most days lately have been good but even the permacloud hovering over Houghton has really got me down, but for Kate it is starting to send her to the darkest places of her mind.
To top it all off I constantly have to deal with bratty nephews, a sister that dispises me only because I tell people how it is and hold nothing back, and a religiously fundamentalist family that makes most people turned off from being Christians. Its a lot to bear I know but love is a bit crazy sometimes. You love because that is what is in your heart and soul. You look past all the struggles and heaviness of it all and you say "I will love you despite all of the these things".
I want to runaway from this relationship some days, but fear waht greater downturn Kate may take. I love my dear Kate very much, and that love makes me stay.

| Lately I don't really write or read or really do anything emotionally or thought provoking, but I guess today I will write some sort of dribble to pass the day. I admit having just a part time job this summer has been great because I can do hiking and biking a lot, the downside is I'm one broke mofo. I wish I could just get caught up and not have to worry about this stuff anymore but alas here I am elbow deep in bills and getting deeper. Simplicity is the key to happiness is what my good friend Jon told me one day. I do believe he is correct. | | |
| Nothing really new lately. My laptop died, I'm broke, and I'm semi-secretly head over heals for a great girl. Not too shabby I guess. Been going through Psalms lately and David is an amazing conversationalist with God! I wish I could be that good at talking with God. I guess that is why He called Dave a man after His own heart. He petitions and asked God to check and balance him, how often do I do that! Of course, very rarely. My kids (well not MINE) had their first track meet this week. My hurdlers have had a modest start but need to train more. They have a fun time coming on Monday  . I really enjoy coaching, it keeps me fairly level with classes and getting out in the world. I mean I can't run a 16s set of high hurdles anymore but I can teach it I suppose. My friend Ashley is teaching me pole vaulting. I really wish I did that back in HS. Its really quite fun. With that just finals next week and then heading down to New Orleans to do some rebuilding in the Ninth Ward. I was also promised there would be real live hippies! I'm rather stoked. So right now I'm selling everything that isn't bolted down in my apartment to afford the trip. Fun stuff, less to move to my new place I guess. Welp that it. Cheers. | | |
| My heart breaks by the news of the shootings at VT tonight. In times like this I see where We as Christians have failed to be a joy, salt, and light in the world. When will be enough before we wake up and love the unlovable. I pray for this man this did this as He musta been hurtin' real bad to take such a hopeless turn.
Live - Overcome
"even now the world is bleedin' but feelin' just fine all numb
in our castle where we're always free to choose never free enough
to find i wish somethin' would break cuz we're runnin' out of time
and i am overcome i am overcome holy water in my lungs i am overcome
these women in the street pullin' out their hair my master's
in the yard givin' light to the unaware this plastic little place
is just a step amongst the stairs
and i am overcome i am overcome baby holy water in my lungs i am overcome
so drive me out out to that open field turn the ignition off
and spin around your help is here but i'm parked in this open space
blockin' the gates of love
i am overcome i am overcome holy water in my lungs i am overcomed
beautiful drowning this beautiful drowning this holy water
this holy water is in my lungs
and i am overcome i am overcome i am overcome i am overcome"

| This past weekend I managed to coordinate and run sisters appreciation night for the womens in IV. The guys did a great job, the food was great, and everyone pitched in for clean up so it was a great night. Not as many women showed up as I hoped based upon the number of invites sent out, but it was really good.
I'm still not sleeping well, but lately its not cause I'm stressed out or worrying about my family situation. Rather its a good kinda reason I think....more to be revealed later? nah. It snowed again today after it was warm all last week. I purposely took apart my mountain bike to get through mid-terms and am now rebuilding it. I'll have to do the same thing for finals I fear. I am ready to be done with the semester and get to doing some bike riding/racing. Its going to be a lazy summer for me is the plan hanging out with the old man (my dad).
Lately God has impressed upon my heart to keep a Christ centered mind. I find that in all the days that I wake and find myself in a Christ mind I don't struggle with so many sins and the days disasters aren't so bad because here I got this Dad that has it more figured out than me, so no sense in worrying and agonizing over something pretty much under control. This is kinda huge for me cause I like to be in control of everything in my life. Welp I need some sleep. Hasta leugo.
