Just another day at Asbury

Typically on Friday afternoons, college students are unwinding and getting ready for weekend football. In Wilmore, people are puffing up their foam swords and preparing for all out warfare. This is the Unofficial Asbury Extreme Sword Fighting Group. I just saw these guys and girls out there and decided to share the experience.

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???

The Motivation to Be Motivated

It is strange to me how strong my feelings can be at times. Some days I want to do nothing but achieve the goals in my life. Then others I only want to do absolutely nothing. I understand that we as humans need rest, but I just wish there was a way for it to not feel so useless.

When I take these "days off" from my goals, all other things just sort of lose their value that they once had. I want to always be on the HIGH and never on the LOW does that make sense? If not then I'm sorry. The great thing is that every time I get into one of these, do nothing moods, I always bounce back from them. I go back to doing the things I know I have to do in order to keep my life going in the right direction. That's all I have for now, I may right another blog after this one just because I feel like writing tonight. peace.

Blog video numero dos!

Let me start off this blog by combining another story i wanted to share. I have been looking at getting another car for a while now. Well thanks to the great Facebook Marketplace, I have a local place to look while I'm sitting in Old Testament. I found a yellow ford ranger the other day and in the listed, the seller noted he wanted to trade. I messaged him and he responded back. We talked a little about what each of us wanted and what do you know, tomorrow we are switching trucks to test them out. Both vehicles are from the great year of 1995, but his has 175,000 miles and mine only has 100,100. So we'll see how this works out. Mine is also valued at a higher price, but i'm pretty sure his is in better condition. Anyway enjoy the rain blog.

Joey suggested that with my new web cam that I start doing some video blogs. This is my first. Pretty much i just wanted to do a video blog so I apologize if it's not interesting or stupid. Enjoy.

Money and Tennis

I was thinking today that I need to make some money. My spending lifestyle is definitely out weighing my working lifestyle. Next semester I would like to work somewhere just to get some extra money. That way I won't feel so bad about spending money.

...by the way i'm in Old Testament writing this and someone was reading and I was typing really loud....Awkward...


Anyway, I also am taking 16 hours next semester. I'm in class on mwf just in chapel (10-11), SPN 102 (12-1), and Philosophy from 1-2. TR (that means TUESDAY and Thursday haha), I have Persuasion from 9:25 -10:40, Western Classics from 12:45-2:00 and Intro to Leadership from 2:00-3:25. Then I will also have piano lessons sometime in there too.

The Here and Now

So this week I have 4 tests. The two following weeks I have two more tests. Today I realized, man things are not going to slow down or wait for me to catch up. I better get on the bus and get going with my schoolwork.

So here I am studying about themes, irony, point of view, and drama and realizing that I should be thankful for the hard work that I am given. Even though it's tough, it's a good kind of tough. Something I should look back on and be proud of. So, this is kind of like an inspiration for me to
DO WORK!
