OH! The insanity!

Wow, awesome week

Kennywood trip: First of all, it was a once in a lifetime event. The threat of thunderstorms scared off 80% of the people that would normally be there... Even though it didn't rain all day. When we first got there, we didn't have to wait at all for the rides, just got on and rode. After a while it got busier and we had to wait like 5 minutes to get on. There were a few we had to wait 15-30 minutes for, but they were few and far between. I think my ears still hurt from the girls screaming...

I'm also beginning to think Anna Harvey is a superhero.... her power is SUPER SONIC SCREAM! "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Highlights of the day:

Going on the raging rapids twice (With very satisfying results)
Watching crazy people do the sky coaster...
Going on the Phantom's Revenge FIVE times.
Feeling like I'm having a seizure in The Exterminator
Capping mad fools with Justin (arcade, Time Crisis 3)
Watching Dan rant about how pointless "Noah's Arc" and the water part at the end was
Riding the Pirate Ship three times..... amongst MANY screams.
Falling asleep on the turtles
Running across half the park and not being out of breath (Woohoo! personal accomplishment!)
Dan leaving his mark on Lake Kennywood in the form of a plasic cup
Hearing "Gotta break the habit, man" every time I bought a Mt. Dew.
Seeing Hezz and fat older guy wearing the same shirt.... A Women Workers shirt...

Wow, eventful day.

I thank God for my Friends. They are one of my greatest blessings.

Just a Shoutout. :-D

Oh, the Woes of AC

Well, I've spent the past three days without AC. but this one is by far the worst. The National Weather service shows that the heat index is 97 degrees (meaning without wind and plus humidity) and the humidity is at somewhere over 75%

uhg... alright, I just wanted to whine about that.

AWW!

Yeah, I had a serious "aww" moment today... While we were practicing "You'll provide for me" after church today, little Sarah Calvetti came up to me inbetween songs. She made a motion with her finger that signaled me to lean down and said "Mr.(the dot was pronounced)Wes, I have something to tell you. *grin*" (I was a wary at this moment because that was my nickname in Children's Church "Mr(dot)Wes") and I replied, "What is it, Sarah?" as I bent down. She blushed like little girls do and said "I love you.". I smiled and said "awwww, Thank you Sarah.", after that she looked satisfied and tapped me on the nose with her index finger. I was kinda stunned by this sudden show of affection, but it made me really happy that I was making an impact on the kids I serve by helping in Children's Church.

(For those of you who don't know, Sarah Calvetti is around 6 or 7 years old. Those who know for sure can correct me on that.)


My voice is feeling real deep now because of that practice... I had to sing with 8 girls, all of whom have pretty high voices, and my voice is just about as low as Johnny Cash's voice...

I went to the LOTR symphony last night, had an awesome time watching the bows of the violins rise and fall in unisen... After the show I saw a lady decked out as Giladrial, I mean seriously decked out, 3 foot sleaves, movie prop broach, hair extentions, THE ELVISH EARS, and tons of make-up. After that I joined John and Dan B, and Heather and Shannon Q (Who were on a Double date. :-P) and went to Starbucks at 12:30 AM

note to self: never go to station square after 11 PM ever again...

7/14

Its raining, I'm sitting in here at my desk, wondering what to do with myself, read a book, watch TV, play a game, practice Karate, write a small entry in the blog (hehe), go out in the rain... humm, really pretty awesome when life has no huge boundaries, its nice to know I have a choice of activities...

First, I can read a book and be engrossed by a world, made by an author, with characters and a plotline

Second, I can watch a TV sitcom, and become absorbed in a world created by writers and actors, with fake characters and a plotline

Third, I can play a game made by graphic designers, most of the time with fantastic characters and plotline...

On the other hand

I can tone my body and mind by practicing Karate, stretching limbs, toning muscles, improving muscles and improving God's temple that he has given me in the form of a body.

I can write as I'm doing now, putting down thoughts for all the world to see.

And I can go out and enjoy the greatest never-ending show, with the most characters, and the best heroes, God's Creation.

I think I'll go running.

Random thought

In my last post, I said a little bit about my left and right brain fighting, I think one side K.O.ed another last night. I woke up with an aweful headache an whiplash... from what I'm not sure though.

I had a thought about God's grand design today... Think about starlight, what is it that you think of? Suns that are millions of lightyears away? Little points of light in the night sky? The past? Well, I thought about the general idea of light, and this infered the idea that every milisecond, a different ray of light is entering your eye and reflecting onto your retina. I think that what I'm thinking about in this can be summed up in a line of a song

I see a starlight, that has found me,

It was lost for a million years,

And as it fills my eyes, it disappears.

well, there you have it, isn't it amazing that God's creation is so huge that a ray of light can be lost in space, for thousands, or millions of years only to end up in the eye of a being that will only reside on this earth for around 100 years compared to the infinate lifespan of a ray of light. God chose for that light at that instant to hit in that exact spot on the earths surface where your eye would be, just so you could see the light of the star... Isn't it a marvel?

Odd how we take creation for granted.

The first update

Well, I spent the last week leading 6 to 9 yearolds around on horses, tiring, yet fulfilling. Two things I love, horses and little kids.

Today I heard an awesome sermon on Spiritual gifts. Saw some great friends I haven't seen in a while. I had a Karate demo at 3:30 that went very well. After that I just chilled at home till now.

Unfortunately, I have been feeling confused a lot of the time these days. Its hard to explain, but it kinda feels like the left and right side of my brain are fighting. Between spiritual issues and fear of man, I feel mentally taxed. No matter how much sleep, or exercise I get it doesn't go away. When relief comes, its very temporary, but I need to just give it up to God and walk on.

In other news, there must be something wrong with me, I'm a GUY and I have a Hillary Duff song stuck in my head...

Yo
