This is not important

We all have those things in life that just make us happy. They're not things that have any real impact on the world at all. I'm talking about little, little things...little nothings. They are just litle things that make your day bright. I absolutely love these things and I love knowing other peoples little nothings too. Like my friend Kate, she is in med school, and she just found out about a little muscle in the hand (palm to be more exact) that seems to have no real purpose but bring happiness. Odd....But great. I love it. One of mine is the rest stop on 385 just before you get to 26 on the way to Columbia. This thing makes me so happy. It is planning genius at its finest. Instead of making two rest stops and putting them on opposite sides of the highway, like everywhere else. They made ONE and putt it in between the highways. Genius I tell you. I love this thing. Its to the point that I make myself stop there every time I pass just so i can support it and for what it is (and get a mountain dew). Odd....but great.

life goes full circle

it takes work to make it work
it takes some good to make it hurt
it takes some bad for satisfaction

it takes a night to make it dawn
it takes some old to make you young
it takes some cold to know the sun
it takes the one to have the other

it takes no time to fall in love
but it takes you years to know what love is
it takes some fears to make you trust
it takes the dust to have it polished

it takes some silence to make sound
it takes it lost before you found it
it takes a road to go nowhere
it takes a toll to make you care
it takes a whole to make a mountain

Professors Groves

my professors, who is the driest man you will ever meet was on a roll today. he opened up class with...

"ok....so, today we are going to be like taco bell and think outside the bun."

to hear that come from an old hair man with no sense of humor was just beautiful. but that wasnt the good quote that i wanted to put up. that was just funny. the good one was...

"one thing you can count on being constant is change"

i liked it. thats witty.

the beauty of the unbelievable

the gospel is unbelievable to me. i dont get it. i dont understand how the blameless lamb died for me...perfect and righteous son of God knowingly sacrificed himself for me. in my sinful eyes this trade doesnt make sense, i am not worthy. but fortunately, its not my opinion that matters. fortunately God sees this deal to be worthy...infact he is happy about the trade. wow. i am worthy of Christ, in Gods eyes. man, if that statement doesnt shake you in your shoes, your not shakable.

heads up

this is a heads up for all the old fca people. i just wanted to let you know that the float is smaller than normal. i know all of you are used to the monster float that fca builds every year, but due to budget cuts, we have had to downsize considerably. it has still been a ton of fun to build and the fellowship has been great. its fun to hear people say..."oh yeah..i met you last year on the float." it reminds you, once again, what its all about.
