Blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank.
-Jeremiah 17:7-8 NLT

I want to ride a camel in the Middle East, through the Sahara, or maybe just a small section of it, and, while I am at it, I will collect some Sahara sand. Hey that would be awesome. I also would like to ride in Elephant, and especially in India. I also wouldn't mind wearing a sauri (sp?) some time in my life, because I think they are beautiful. All women in the world are actually beautiful, but to me the most beautiful ladies are the ladies that are shaped by their culture and community, rather than selfishness/hate/jealousy and a plastic surgen. All though we all have the bad traits, I find that the majority of women in So. Cal. base their lives around an image rather than their community, culture, and morals. I want to touch the great wall, and walk in the steps of Jesus. I would also like to visit Costa Rica once more, and go into the National Theatre (Teatro Nacional) in San Jose, and into the Post Office. I fell in love with the country, and I keep a piece of it in my heart. A piece that I think will never fade of detach itself. It is the people that touch me and make an impact on my life. It the experiences and the scenery, but least of all the food, because I am not too thrilled with fancy or foriegn food. I love the innocent tho9ughts of children, and the smiles and love they give off. I love experiencing new experiences, and I also dream about it.

" i dont think im ready to start learning just yet. i've never felt like this over the summer before.. you know what that is right.. we offically have SENIORITUS !!! AHA, bit i think i have a cure.. good friends. just remember how they got you through last year and just how funny they where and youll antisapate it insted of regret going back. i just hope all my middle school friends still remember me. take care" My good friend Lara wrote this to me when I told her of how I did not want to go back to another year of highschool, and what she said is true. We need to remember the people around us and their smiles and love they show. Even if it is just a few. Great advice for me.

Katrina...

This is a trip, to be in front of the tv watching all of this go down in my country... Half of me wants to jump up and do something... the other half sees the reality of it all... Lord, please watch over them..

Pray

This recent disaster has been something to watch. It is sad, but it seems that the city's worst has been brought out and exposed at the same time, because people are raping, hurting, and killing their neighbors, and even the relief workers are being shot at. It is a very tragic situation. As citizens we need to pull together, but especially the disaster site. We are doing everything we can to help and send help, because Lord knows that these people need all of the help that they can get. Keep the people, the families, and the leaders in your prayers.

Great Expectations

"In the little world in which children have their existence whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice."
- Great Expectations by: Charles Dickens; Chapter VIII

“‘Well, Pip,’ said Joe, ‘ be it so or be it son’t, you must be a common scholar afore you can be a oncommon one, I should hope! The king upon his throne, with his crown upon his ‘ed, can’t sit and write his acts of Parliament in print, without having begun, when he were an unpromoted Prince, with the alphabet-Ah!’ added Joe with a shake of the head that was full of meaning, ‘and begun at A too, and worked his way to Z. And I know what that is to do, though I can’t say I’ve exactly done it.’”
- Great Expectations by: Charles Dickens; Chapter IX

“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes I me. But, it is the same wit any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
- Great Expectations by: Charles Dickens; Chapter IX
