A big month. Much company. Move loved ones. Too many pics for the blog. I posted some of my favorites over on my Picasa Page here.
Eli & Amber, Moms & Dads, Best of Friends, mountains. I won't bore you with my diary. Having Eric and Andy (my high-school buddies) here for a long weekend in Rocky Point was a long planned reunion and blessed me big. Eli and Amber stopped through on their way to South America for a 3 month blast. Mom & Dad came up to help Andy and Ryan make it official. On and On. We got a couple of weeks before more company, resting up, and getting ready.
Here's what I've been collecting this month:
Everytime I get happy, I remember how easy it is.
How can you hear the voice of God, unless you shut up. Or turn the TV off.
I woke up in the middle of the night wondering what God was doing before he created the heavens and the earth? I mean 6 days before he created Adam and Eve, what was he up to? Must have been lonely. I wonder if he has any regrets, we've become such an ungrateful bunch.
nothing is happening to me. period.
dominion <> cruel: Genesis 1:26
Everytime I start to think outside of the box, I get in trouble.
Of course I'll sleep with you.
You're in your 50s now, you should know why and what you're doing.
Since when did sitting on your couch, watching TV, having a strong opinion and voting the ticket become the definition of a patriot?
money: you can spend it on yourself or others. I say mix it up.
If it was God's will that George Bush was our president, how can it not be God's will that Barrack Obama is our president?
What is all this obsession with a nest egg? What does a nest egg have to do with a human being? It's like drinking cow's milk.
Have you ever seen the future? No, you haven't. It doesn't exist. What are you worrying about?
This morning I wanted some breakfast cooked by a Mexican. Fortunately, in this town, I can have that just about everywhere.
It's a creative writing class, not English 101.
And from some real people:
The goal of many leaders is to get people to think more highly of the leader. The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves. J. Carla Nortucutt.
It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word! Andrew Jackson.
My friend kevJuan shared this story with me on a hike recently. He told it in the context of how we (Americans) think everyone should live the way we do. I found a version of it on the internets.
A typhoon stranded a monkey on an island. In a protected place on the shore, while waiting for the raging waters to recede, he spotted a fish swimming against the current. It seemed to the monkey that the fish was struggling and needed assistance. Being of kind heart, the monkey resolved to help the fish. At considerable risk to himself, the monkey moved far out on the precarious limb of a tree, reached down and snatched the fist from the waters. Scurrying back to the safety of his shelter, he carefully laid the fish on the dry ground. For a few moments, the fish showed excitement, but soon settled into a peaceful rest. An eastern parable.
That's it for this month. my best, your bobJuan.
