I'm a Weirdo
Isn't it funny...I was telling Chris the other day, during the Christmas season that it was interesting how we people all have our own individual worlds that we operate in. We bring to it all our gifts, talents and not-so-good qualities. We endeavor to make them more meaningful by involving others and sharing what we bring to this life and in turn we partcipate in someone else's world and partake of what means something to them. It's kind of a give and take. This thought usually hits me around Holidays that involve getting together with family and signifigant others. Like the Fourth of July or Labor Day or Thanksgiving when you see a particular house with a lot of cars at it. Those people that live in that house have a world and others are participating in it, some more permanently than others. And its like that at house after house after house. Little, loosely connected worlds with all their own agendas and priorities. Little worlds like my own here at my house. An earthly world that really revolves around me. Literally, around Christ, but I am speaking in human terms, you know. Idk what relevance this has to anyone or if you ever think abstractly or maybe not so abstractly. Another thought I have sometimes is the continual striving in the business world. Sometimes it just gets on my nerves how many businesses there are out there while I'm going down the road. I can't really explain it but I just wanna say go home-haha. At other times, I'm combing my brain for an innovative idea-I'm a weirdo. I think sometimes I just feel like Solomon...'meaningless, meaningless'. Truly, only what's done for Christ will last. Gold, Silver and Precious Stones but so much of what we do in life is wood, hay and stubble.

You think your weird...I ride down the road reading all the signs backwards! Oh yeah, and I hate it when some company clears off a big space for development then leaves it there for months, even years! I get so anxious trying to guess what is going to be built there! I mean do they just run out of money or did they just think"let's just clear the land and then maybe something will come to our mind to build". Deep thoughts.
Just wanted to say God bless ya'll.Your family looks great. I wish you and Chris were in the pick also. Love in Christ Cary
we were coming home form a basketball game this week and the boys with some of their teammates started saying their names as if they were written backwards. it was really funny. i said "i'm adnil eus" and they dies laughing (easily amused, i guess). many times i'll say a word and reverse the order of the first letter in each syllable. the kids picked up on it and do it too. We have a convenience store down the road owned by pakistani's. so one of the kids was talking about it and did it and it came out 'stakipanis'-now that was funny!!!
yeah what in the heck do they think they're doing clearin' land without putting up a sign (future home of)! that would be maddening. no, we don;t have that problem here. we are just now getting a Lowes and everybody's known about it for ages. if anything comes or goes around here, no one is in the dark-no signs need-it's the 'talk of the town'. how pathetic-yesh, it is pathetic! God Bless y'all too, Cary. Get a facebook- Chris and I have one and I try to put pix on. Abbey puts a lot of pix on too. miss y'all
