there and back again... a vintage tale

so the last 2 weeks have been a frenzy of emotions and many other things. being away from your girlfriend can be a real hastle but also a learning experience. i really think this time away from each other thou really hard, is really good for us both. we need to be able to operate idependantly but also together and it seems like we are totally starting to get a grasp on that. who knew how much reading the bible daily could change everything from the way u react to the guy that cuts you off first thing to just being happy about going into work. i mean i do work at a church but i mean even that can get stressfull at times. im really thankfull for the people around me and my current situation thou its not campbell and im the new fish in the bowl its nice to have new experiences (hard but nice). today i ate lunch with andrew at this old bowling alley. it was great. i think im ganna try and go bowling there sometime soon. or def. take ash when she gets back into town. there are so many little places like that to find here in this little area code they call raleigh. i need to spend my time enjoying the little things and stop freeking out about the big picture.

im reading this book called The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning right now. tyler jones my paster read it when he first got into the ministry and it totally changed his outlook. im really excited about reading it. i havent gotten too far into it yet but... since im reading it for work i need to get on it. i'm also reading another book called Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen. i'll talk about that later. maybe thats why i never finish books i start reading one and then i jump to the next... eh.. i guess im an add reader. nothing really new. well its back to folding kids brochures for now at the good old office/closet @ v21.
