Daily thoughts

I looked in the mirror the other day and a horrifying thought came to mind, "I'm fat." Now, this started to worry me some so I thought on it throughout the day and then I went to lunch. I was kind of depressed so I didn't eat much. Then a revelation hit me, "Oh no, thinking you're fat is the first sign of anorexia." I could be starving to death and not even know it. Maybe that is why I can't get a date; I'm so scrawny I scare the ladies away. And then I continued to consider this and I thought, "Oh no, what is I really am fat?" I could be second away from a heart attack. Maybe the girls think I'm a disgusting blob and that is why I'm single. I couldn't ask anyone because either I'd find out I'm anorexic or huge. So I began to think of way solve this issue. Then I realized I must simply come to terms and look at the positives of one of these issues. When I was young I was told I serve a big God. When I grew older I was told that the body is the temple of God's. So why not look at being fat as simply giving God more room. So I know I am on a daily quest to fight my battle with anorexia. This I promise will eat my way to victory. Please join me in my battle.

quick note

Exploring South Carolina

So the other day I went with Leonardo out to explore the wonder that is South Carolina. I thought you folks might like to see what we get to experience in the foothills of SC.

First stop was Bald Rock (a new preserve)




After that we went up to Caesar's Head.




Finally we headed over to a waterfall on 11




And thus our journey ended. After a great lunch at El Rancho Grande we headed back to the dorm and I took a nice long nap. Many journeys to come. Care to join us?

I'm Back

Okay, I survived the greyhound. I actually had a good time. I got to meet some interesting folks, but I'll write more on that later.

Here are a few tips for riding the greyhoud.

Ride in the front, you don't have to smell the bathroom, and the quieter people usually sit there.

Take a small lunch, just in case the place you stop to eat is nasty.

Try to sit next to someone that speaks English, unless you want to practice your spanish.

NEVER, sit in front of two kids. You will want to either kill yourself or them.

Finally, don't be afraid to talk to people. They can be really cool, and pray God will give you the opportunity to share the gospel.

Those are just a few things I discovered while riding the Greyhound.

So on to the trip in KY. Only I would take my vacation from college to go to seminary. I do wonder if I am crazy at times. Though I'm sure many of you wonder that more often than I. Yea so Louisville is full of cool stuff and I didn't get to see any of it. I did go to a few cool places Phlene's Bakery (pronounced Plane's) which has been there since 1924, and no it wasn't the fat man's idea. I also went to see Braudus' grave (from Braudus Press). I know it is weird but I had fun. The main purpose of the trip was to visit my friend's church and I have only one comment about that: his members can cook. Amen and Amen. Anyway it was a fun time and relaxing before I head back to school this week. I hope all of you are wll. God Bless.

Update

Just a quick update. The bus ride was great and God gave me an opportunity to witness and meet great people. Louisville is awesome as always I will update more when I can.
