Rambling Thoughts…

Well it started this past Friday and it will be here through next week. Step Into Africa is an interactive exhibit where you get to walk through 1 of 4 children’s lives. I have been through one child’s life so far but I plan on walking through the rest. The great thing is that the exhibit is totally free, and you get a taste of what is going on across the ocean. AIDS is real and effects not just us but the world. Tomorrow night is a great event going on at cornerstone call ONE night ONE Life. The night will be centered around spreading the awareness about AIDS in Africa, there is going to be some great speakers and a awesome choir. It should be an awesome event. This whole weekend I am constantly reminded of the time I spent in Africa. I can close my eyes and see the street boys and the kids that changed my life. I close my eyes and can see the AIDS ward we went into and the different smells. Please come and checkout this exhibit, sign up online and come check it out.

Well welcome to the new home of my blog. More bloggin ah comin your way…….

Its the coolest sister in the world and its her birthday!!! Happy Birthday!

Well because I don’t not have enough web apps in my life, I have added Twitter. What it Twitter you say? This fun little web app is basically a status update about what you may be currently doing. Much like Facebook’s status updates but a little more. You can text your status update to twitter or do it from GTalk (Another thing everyone should sign up for). I have been on a few different blogs where people have it and they seem to use it all the time, so I thought I would check it out. So if you want to know what I am doing at any point in time just go on-line and check My Twitter. Although it will only work if I actually update it. Why even have this you say? No real reason just something to do. Check it out and maybe sign up, and add me.

Well tonight was another disappointing night of television. I sat surfing through the channels only to find re-runs and older movies no one really cares about like Dante’s Peak. One of the thing I am getting tired of seeing and hear about is Britney Spears.

I tell you she has tv shows and news segments just to talk about her problems. I mean come on people, how much Brit do we need. Honestly I think back when she was some what normal and remember being not impressed. O how I wish we could go back to those days. Being a pop icon apparently is not enough. Does she do it to be remembered? Who knows…honestly I think in the years to come she will be a footnote in the pages of music history. Do we need to hear about every little thing she does? And what I think is funny is everyone who does a report or a show about her says they are tired of her. (To my own realization, just like this blog post.) Then why keep reporting….ratings? Or is it just because there is nothing better on? Thank God the writers strike is almost over so there will be something on the TV besides Britney Spears.

Well Our shower head broke a week or so ago. It is a pretty great shower head. It detaches from the wall and it is great except one thing. It broke. The whole thing is made out of sturdy metal except one part…the clip the holds the shower head.

So I went to Lowes and bought a locking wrench and some zip ties. Problem solved. Just unlock it if you want to take it off. Works great. Cost about 8 bucks.

Well today was Ash Wednesday. At Cornerstone we had Ash Wednesday services all day today, every hour on the hour. From 6am-8pm. Yeah I was there today 5:30am-6pm. It was a good day. A long day. I as the day went on I got a better understanding of the lent season…

For on Ash Wednesday you decide what you want to sacrifice for a time, basically until Easter Sunday. It is a way to prepare you heart, to grow spiritually. Every time you are tempted with what you gave up you pray or read the word. This in-turn helps you grow. By the time Easter Sunday rolls around you have out grown what you gave up or what sin you let go of. You no longer need it. Just like the clothes you had when you were a kid. You would not keep them ( although they are probably in style now) they would not fit you anymore. What you gave up would not fit you anymore, because you have grown more in your walk and you don’t need what you gave up any more. Genius.

Well it does not happen often but when it does it makes you think.  Why is my food giving me finical advice? Ya know I just wasted 7 bucks on a meal that is probably not the healthiest thing for me, but as an added bonus it gives me advice about two things that I know nothing about. Stay away from stocks and try real estate.  I always wonder why they don’t put something useful in those cookies after you have your meal….like “congrats you just gained 2 pounds, go to the gym…now” or “Don’t feel good? Well, maybe next time you should just make your own food” I dunno what do you all think? I dunno if I have enough readers to do this but if you want you can leave a comment with some random fortunes you think would be funny to find in a fortune cookie…leave as many as you want.  I will start, “Life is short, try jumping jacks”…your turn….

Well I have been out of the bloggin for a few days.  I lent my camera to my sister, and since I always like to post a picture with what ever I blog I have a back log of ideas for blogs. So keep checkin back for some new blog entry.
