down the drain

every contact wearer’s worse nightmare…watching your very last contact get lost in the abyss of drainage. especially if you are a runner AND this happens right before a run. a long one at that. right before it happened i was thinking: “man, this is my last contact, it would really bite if i lost it.” [...]

think first…

is anyone else so impulsive that it spills over into every aspect of their life? i find myself constantly feeling bad or having to “clean up” after myself because i say or act impulsively. im trying so hard to change this  about me. being impulsive can be a good thing but not in this way.

people pleaser

Rex, Senior Pastor at Grace Fellowship, during the 7th part in his 12 part series covering the Sermon on the Mount titled “Living for an Audience of One” mentioned an interesting type of people during this message: people pleasers.

Which is what this post is all about. Well, [...]

Shoulder is throbbing (im trying not to consume ibuprofen like chewable vitamin C)

The camp of chirping (high volume) birds (all 5million…ok [...]
