So I'm Joining The Club...

...and writing a Rob Bell commentary blog. So this morining, I was watching Rhythm by Rob Bell, and he was talking about people how are more experienced in a certain area. How they can appreciate the little details and the effort it really takes to do something because they know from experience. Being a musician, it really hit home when he applied life to a song. I can easily pick out a bass line or a simple trill; I know how many hours of practice it takes to sound good. Often times, when I listen to a song, I do realize that I have missed the overall beauty in life.
So how does this apply? I don't know. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it does. Am I missing the details of life? Quite possibly. God, I hope not.


Yes, you did just read all that.

Water, Water, WATER!

So today I tried something new. I figured that I don't drink near enough water, and it's supposed to be healthy for you to do that. So I was like, "Hmm, for the heck of it, I'll drink a glass every hour."
Turns out, its only a so-so idea. I have to go to the bathroom on an average of 45 minuites. Uncool. But recently I've been reading a friends blog about potty-training her kid and all the accidents, so the irony makes me laugh.
I've also been without excessive sugar for 2 and a half weeks. Also uncool. But let me explain myself. If there's a little bit of sugar in Rice Krispies, catchup, or other stuff like that, I'm not gonna freak out. I just cut out, like, sugar cereal and syrup on my pancakes and stuff like that. I dunno. My mom says that it will make a difference and be better and stuff, but it doesn't feel much different.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.

Salsa and Strawberries

So life has been nothing but average. Except for the other day. I was invited to a friend's house to spend the night and such. I always have a massive blast with the family. As we were eating lunch, each one of them told me what they liked most about me. I laughed a lot at being reminded of crazy stories and quirks of mine. When it came time for the dad to speak, his comment brought me to tears.
I loved the feeling of being loved on by my favorite seragent family.

I finally finished reading Starving Jesus, but instead of getting a kick in the butt and out of the pew, I got so inspired. But like the many other times I've been inspired, I'm also left feeling helpless.
Starving Jesus is all about getting off the pew and just ministering to and loving on the people that need some Jesus. But for some reason, I feel incapable of doing that.
So now I'm stuck with another "help people" craze and nothing to do with it. It sucks.

But you should all still read the book. *cough cough*
