Happy New Year Everyone!

Well it's that time again away with the old and in with the new, make promises you wish you can keep and want to learn from past mistacks. This year will not be any different then the past few years for me: promise myself to take better care of myself, eat right and be more active, but also to read my bible through in a year, which I failed to do this past year.

I'm not sure if you all think like this of this time of year, but when all you do is work and school its hard to see the silver lineing in my daily routine.

In short, be blessed, be safe, keep the Lord with you whereever you go and share Him with those you love.

Concentration Problems

These last three weeks I have found extremely hard to concentrate for more then 15 minutes on any one task that I place in front of myself. I'm not really sure what is causing this, but it is extremely frustrating. It may be just as simple as ADD, or is it ADHD, I forget which. In fact this is what is what is going on right now. I should be finishing up my or if not I should just go to sleep. But as soon as I think about going to sleep I tell myself, no I should finish my homework so I don't have to wake up early, then I don't do my work for like two minutes in the time that I waisted thinking about these two option...

Dang I wish their was a simpler option; like secret option number three of letting myself space out and all my homework will get done and I won't loose sleep over it.

Sigh...

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. One thing after another, with no end in sight. I just got back from the coast (Monterey) for the wedding of Lizzie's friend. I hadn't been to a wedding in ages. Their is just something about a wedding. I mean, two people making lifelong commitments before God to honor and cherish one another. And to think that the best example of this covenant relationship is the one that Christ has with his bride the church. He laid down His life for his bride: and a man is to follow that example when he looks after the wife that has been entrusted to him by God. I mean when you think of how people today (non-Christians) see the bonds of matrimony, they don't see anything their vows that ask them to sacrifice anything, or let alone serve them, or even love them...

The wedding was great!, but the drive was not.. It was almost three hours each way, or for those of you like me that don't like math that means six hours of driving. AND... to make things worse on the way back I get pulled over at the 152/99 junction. When asked "Do you know how fast you were going... understand when you tell me that I was clocking you" try not to lie..., but if you are in my shoes and don't really remember, just guess; and by guessing don't say "55"... Don't worry I didn't. I said, "I don't know 75.. 80?" Her response was a bit more then that, I'd rather not say publicly. but in the worlds of Seinfeld "...oh, you must have got me when I was slowing down for that turn..." lol. That cracks me up all that time. Luckily she only put 80 on my ticket and I'll have to do traffic school, so that's a a blessing.

But a positive is school's out, and I'm still looking for a job. So, I mean, that has to be good. Right? But seriously, I am looking for a job and keep that in prayer.

This Friday I'll be going to Southern California for my churches Family Camp at The Oaks, a World Impact camp near Valencia. So I'll be taking lots of pictures. I'm also looking forward to taking some time way with Lord and refreshing my spiritual batteries.

I'll also, as I promised a few people, be sending, and posting, a few more pictures of the graduation from last week at CCC on here an my mysapce. Maybe even a few of Lizzie and I... who knows?

My Mac

Waiting for the return of my mac. As most of you have known my "real" computer, not that all others are not real they are just not my mac, has not been working for a while. And because I couldn't find the warranty information from Compusa I didn't return it until the 12th of this month two days before the warranty expired. With some luck I had them find my information on their computers to service my laptop.

It has now been 12 days, and still no word on it's return, sigh! I'm hoping it will be back this week because I really hate the windows laptop I've been using this whole time.

New Beginnings

Sun breaking through after the last storm. Reminds me of new beginnings, and something I wrote last year.

What did I say!

I don't want to say I told you so, but for all of you who heard my prediction last week of who was going to the Superbowl and said I was full of it, I could only say one thing.... Look at the score board. The Bears took the Saints with out any problem, and the Colts, I have to admit I had my doubts, but they pulled threw in the end.

I also have to apologize to my girlfriends family for getting so excited when the cults won and jumped around violently and scared the cats. So... I"m sorry. And just to refresh the memories of all those nay sayer, I said that the Bears would take the whole thing. So, I'm not a beating man, but if I were I'd put it all on the Bears.

I'm starting a penny drive.

Hey I'm starting a penny drive for a good cause.

The winner of this penny drive will receive a coupon for a large pepperoni pizza from any participating Little Ceases pizzerias for only $5. So if you feel hungry and all you have is a little change, bring it to me and you may be able to win this coupon.

All the funds go to a Coin Star machine and get put on my Starbucks card for me to have coffee. Now isn't that a good cause... So give me all you loose change, and bills, so I could have some Starbucks!

What do you have to loose, a little change? And look what you can win, a pizza for $5. wow!

Good luck to all.

So we went to Visalia

Lizzie and I in Visalia yesterday at A&W great rootBEER! We originally went with her mom to look at some open houses from Centex Homes in the area that were not in Fresno.

Dinuba Wal-Mart

So we went to Super Wal-Mart this week end, in Dinuba, and this time I wasn't the one that got stopped on my way out. You can't see it, but Lizzie, her mom, and Susie have just been stopped and questioned for stealing.

The place was huge!
