work in progress

here's what i have learned this morning:
- we are more valuable than the lilies and the birds
- worrying will aid in nothing
- things accomplished by ourselves are nothing like things accomplished with God

"Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun." Ecclesiastes 2:11

Alas I learn more.

as usual

sunburned my left foot/leg. even when i put the same amount of sun screen on both sides. o-well

INspired

I liked Andrew's post so I thought I'd do the same. New things:
- new room
- new roommate
- job hunting
- no routine
- haircut
- music (Andrew Bird)

speechless

shocking for some, normal for others. i once considered myself a "blogging fiend" but right now i think i lost my direction and purpose for this blog. possibly i forgot it, which makes sense since i have one of the WORST memories ever. so i hope to get back to my roots:
- sharing my thoughts and feelings
- being totally random
- talking about what matters to me
- of course up-dating you with my current conditions

so lets do it.

Europa Trip 1 of 2

Well here's what I have for all of you: A URL to a place to check out an album that I made of my school trip. It is pretty cool. There are captions and if you click map you can physically see where I was in Europe and down to the footsteps too for most of the pics. So you can click either: slideshow or view map. Enjoy.

GO HERE!!!!!

Prodigal Son Returns

After a month of backpacking through Europe I have finally made it home. It was a fantastic trip and plan to share as much as I can with you all. I have tons of stories, billions of pictures, two journals stocked full of whatever my crazy mind thought to write down, and more ticket stubs, maps, and other things I kept from the trip. I will see what I can do about sharing it all with you.

Stay tuned.
