Old Friend

First, last night I said I was going to write another blog right after, but I luckily got to talk to a friend that I haven't talked to in a long time. His story is interesting. He started out as a troubled guy, rough home life, and then he was married and had one little girl with his wife. After a while they began to come to our church. Well as it turned out, Brian, my friend decided that he was going to go back to college. He started back at school and also discovered that he was called to the ministry.
After a while, school got tough and a lot of things started sparking up in his home. His wife left him, I'm really not sure what all happened but things got bad. Then later probably a year or two ago, I found out that they had gotten a divorce and she remarried. He ran from God and he tried to commit suicide. The police came and he wound up in an insane asylum. He wasn't truly crazy or anything, but he was definitely unstable.
Anyway, I was talking to him last night, he randomly logged onto msn messenger. We began talking about his life things in my life also. We each talked about our relationships with God and how they were lacking right now for sure. He also expressed a lot of embarrassment from his previous experiences with suicide and being locked up. I tried to help him out and tell him that people still cared about him and that he should just start interacting with people again. Any advice you think I should give him???

Hard Times...Not the book by Dickens

Alright well here is something that I need help understanding. I'm not trying to boast, I'm simply trying to understand what some people think. For me if things get tough, I do talk to other people about them and sometimes want to quit, but it takes a lot to make me actually quit. Take for example school work. In the past three weeks I've had 2 papers due, and 4 tests. It gets pretty tough, but I always know that finishing those assignments are just something that has to get done. I put it in my mind that there is no choice. That's just how I operate.

and all of a sudden i wanted to change my font a little.

What I don't understand are the people that bring it upon themselves to tell others how horrible their life is. When I hear things that some people complain about like having a lot of work due and feeling like they can't do it just baffles me. I don't understand how they feel that way. Sometimes you might feel overwhelmed but always just keep your mental motivation up and I think you'll be fine. That is all.

P.S.

I'M GOING TO SEE kANYE wEST TOMORROW IN nASHVILLE!!! I get to see Brannon and folks. It's gonna be HoT!!
