I have started reading Trusting God by Jerry Bridges. Makes for very good and real reading. It is pinpointing some questions I've been wrestling with over the past year.
In 2 weeks I will be starting a new shift at work, thank goodness! I am just about over the ridiculousness of waking up at 3:40 every morning. I will be working 12-9 probably for the remainder of my time until October. It will be a more normal schedule of going to bed later, waking up at a better time. I can't wait! Even more so I can't wait to go to my new job in October. Every morning I get up and go to work I think to myself, I am one day closer to leaving.
I went to a wedding for an old high school friend last night. It was an outside evening wedding, which was a little hot, but it was nice. There was a sit down dinner which was very good. I went with my parents and sat with some old school Pinewood people. It was a little different going to a wedding with my parents and hanging with them and not friends, but it was fun too.
I have started up running in the past few weeks. I ran with my dad this morning while my brother biked and I about died. We did go 5 miles along a pretty road on the river. Needless to say, I was overheated and tired and exhausted and unable to get ready for church in 20 minutes so I sit here and will leave for the next round of services in an hour.
I am watching my good old Fox & Friends while drinking my coffee. I love it. I have watched more coverage than I want of Michael Jackson's death. Its sad that Farah Fawcett's is not even being covered. It is disturbing to me how they memoralize this guy who led such a sad and weird life. I feel like although he might have done great things like donating money to different causes, changing music, ect... he wasn't a believer (I'm assuming by the way he lived his life), therefore all the things done in his lifetime are really nothing at all. Funny how that works. We strive to be known and be remembered but it really does nothing in eternity If its not for the kingdom it is for nothing at all.

maybe the fact that the news is over the top about Michael, is actually a blessing to Farrah's Family and loved ones...maybe now they will have time grief the loss of her life in peace.
I agree with you about the Michael Jackson thing. I find his life to be really sad/fascinating/depressing/weird. It's odd how people are so obsessed with mourning him- he is already a legend. So much talent, but like you said what is it to him now. Makes me look at what I do... I'm a Christian, but I do a lot in life that will be nothing in eternity.
I need to start running. Very unhappy with myself right now.
