Ok, I went to the store to print off a couple of photos to send to some people in Fiji, like I promised them I would, and I came out with a job prospect. 3 hours later I now have a second job. I got a job in the photo lab that I applied to a few months ago when I was originally job hunting. The manager looked at my file and thought about it before she put up the ad, then I walked in today and she came right over to me and offered it to me. So I went back later and talked to her some more, decided to give it a go. I already told my boss at the video store, who is ok with it and we will try and work out schedules. The best part is I had been thinking about getting a second job and asking God about it and whether I should get one or not. I need to finish paying off my DTS among other things, hence the idea of the second job. Especially if I am to go to other places for other YWAM schools. I think this is a total answer to prayer. So, hopefully it all works out and I can work both jobs and get things paid off in a more timely fashion. That's my big news on the day.
I'm a wanderer. In my mind, in my heart, in life, and in general. I rarely sit still and I love to explore and have adventures. I have trouble staying in one place. There's always somewhere else to be, something else to do, and something new to see... "Not all those who wander are lost."-J.R.R.T.

I'm so out of it...
Yeah, I'm a little out of it. I have been feeling kind of sick for the last few days. Long story short, not the flu like I thought it might be. It was sour milk. I couldn't even smell it, and believe me it stank (based on my dad's reaction to smelling the jug). I couldn't even really taste that it was off, until this morning when I took a drink. I still feel icky, but it will be gone by morning. Hahahaaaaa...Whatever. Anyways, must run and finish my video I'm making from some DTS fun/funny pictures. Currently I'm picking out a soundtrack. Bye.

More of what I'm up to, and a little of what i'm learning...
Well, happy day Jenny had come up to visit me, but she has since returned home. Other than that, I have been on IMDB message boards. At first it was creation versus evolution (Beowulf and Grendel and dragons to dinosaurs and eventually evo. vs creat.) now, thanks to Mel Gibson's mistakes, defending Christianity from the jaded hurting movie watchers. Thankfully I always pray before I post that I don't say something stupid or that defeats the purpose of my post. The last post may have come close, it was truth but the love was a little lacking, but mostly all been in love (I hope it came across that way). Like the Jewish guy who ranted about if it had been against Christianity then we would all be boycotting and burning his movies. I corrected him about the movie burning and told him that I didn't blame him for being mad. As well I said I hoped he and his community would heal from this, and I pointed out that I was a Christian. He seemed to have appreciated the understanding that he didn't feel he was getting elsewhere. I just hope God uses this and this guy remembers what I said so he doesn't think all Christians are bad. It's amazing the extent of the Jew bashing and Christian bashing going on as a result of this.
What I have been learning from all this and before...Good question. There was this article I read about people climbing Mt Everest and whether or not this guy had to die up there. Some people left him alone (he had climbed solo) because they were so focused on their own summit push. Sir Edmund Hillary had said that there was no way that it should have happened. That he would have abandoned his climb to help the guy who obviously needed it. That a human life was more important than the summit. I thought how many times does that happen in life, with the figurative mountain. We are so focused on what we are doing and where we are going that we someone in distress and we just ask about it, but don't do anything. Or we don't even notice because we are so focused on our own climb. Or we do a little, but not all that we can or is necessary. Would we abandon our own climb to save a life? Even if they said they were fine, but you could tell they weren't fine at all. All figurative as non of us would be climbing Everest, that I'm aware of. So that was one thing I learned. As well as really sticking up for being a Christian and having good points and proofs not just quoting scripture and saying non fulfilling answers to peoples questions. Need to live it, not just speak it. Ok, gotta go have lunch...
