One and a half hours til November.
It's fall. It's supposed to be raining. And it's supposed to be cold.
BUT IT'S NOT.
POOP.
I hope winter comes soon cuz this 80-some degree fall isn't working for me. Anyone wanna go to Switzerland with me? lol.
Unnecessary Wealth
I came across this website and was quite convicted. Reading statistics about how much money we Americans spend on unnecessary things makes me realize how selfish we truly are. No wonder we have this "I-am-so-good-in-and-of-myself-and-I-don't-need-God" mentality. God, please forgive us and help us to not be blinded by our unnecessary wealth.
Near Death Experiences and New Realizations.
It is scientifically impossible to laugh while you are not breathing. I should know...I tried it today. My roommate almost killed me with her humor. On top of that, I had a massive gulp of McDonald's Iced Coffee in my mouth. Laughter and iced coffee aren't meant to be enjoyed together, I learned. But I also came to the realization that the best way to die would be to die laughing.
So here's to near death experiences and new realizations!
Thank You's from Teachers.
A couple weeks ago, one of my teachers sent me a thank you email for participating in class. Keep in mind, this was not a response to an email I sent him...he just sent it out of the blue. I thought it was the funniest thing EVER! (You might not understand why it is so funny, but know that it is. lol.) Today, I got another thank you from a teacher. This, on the contrary, was a response to an email I had sent, but it was funny nonetheless. "Thank you for being a conscientious student," it said. Hahaha! I just must be majorly amazing or something!
Just kidding...I'm not really that amazing.
Something to ponder...
"It isn't what we do that pleases God, it is what we are." --Don McClure
We are just lumps of clay. Our lives aren't about doing favors for God. Let Him anoint you! Know that He loves you and wants to fill you with His Spirit! God doesn't want new commitments; He just wants YOU!
(Don McClure spoke tonight at Harvest. Amazing as always!! This blog post doesn't do his message justice.)
Confused Culture.
"We live in a confused culture." That's what my mom said today as we were leaving the mall.
We were rushing to get to my cousin's house but we were waiting in line foreeeeever for the guy to come back just so we could exchange a $10 lamp that we accidentally got in the wrong color. Anyways, he finally gets there, we exchange our lamp, and walk to the escalator. This woman gets to it right before us and stands right in the middle. We managed to squeeze to the right of her and walk up so we can pass her.
As we are walking out of the mall, my mom and I are discussing the fact that everyone seems to be so slow paced but us. Then my mom points out that everyone in this culture is confused... "No one ever wants to walk anywhere. Even if people are going to the store right down the street, they hop in their cars. Then at the mall, they see an escalator. 'Oh good! Moving stairs! Now I don't have to walk anymore!' Then, they wake up at FOUR IN THE MORNING so they can go to the gym! It would save them a lot of gym membership money and give them more sleep if they just walked up the escalator!"
Hahahaha! My mom is hilarious for thinking like this!
Whole Wheat Noodles and Lameberry.
Today was amazing!
I don't miss my shows for just about anything. Only the greatest people would cause me to miss them. Yvonne + Colleen = great people.
So, tonight, we made dinner (amazing, btw...and whole wheat noodles are way better than people claim) and got so stuffed that our esophaguses have probably gained some weight. But that didn't stop us. We went to Coolberry too. We parked right in front of it and were pleased that the sign said "open." Colleen goes to reach for the door handle and pulls it. Nothing. The lady mopping inside didn't even flinch--didn't even lift her head and let us know that they were closed. Then I noticed the sign. They closed at 8:30. "Coolberry?! More like lameberry!!" Colleen so eloquently said. Lameberry indeed.
So...we drove to Cherry On Top instead. And just so you know, it is amazing! Here are our frozen yogurts!
Pretty much, this way the best way to miss my shows. I'd do it every week!
P.S. I still need to try Lameberry.
It just deserved to be blogged.
Yvonne and I walk into the caf at lunch and Wanda greets us by saying "Yo yo yo!" Now, if you know who Wanda is, you'd understand why that is so funny. If not, it might benefit you to know that she is a cute, little old woman.
She then proceeds to ask us, "Did you girls stop by the seminary tables yet?"
"Umm..no..." we both said in slight confusion. There is a grad school fair going on at school today and we were wondering if we had seminary written all over our faces or something. "Why?" we asked.
"There are some pretty good looking men out there at a few of the tables...at Golden Gate and Southwestern."
After lunch, we went to see if Wanda was right. Nah, she has different taste than we do.
So there you go! If you are a young male from Golden Gate or Southwestern, you should be pleased to know that Wanda thinks you are attractive.
