Fall Break

Ah, fall break was so refreshing. It's amazing what good 2 days off from school can do for you! I was able to get so much work done...sleep late..and even read a little philosophy and write down some of my thoughts. Now, back to the grind. But, i "look to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God". (Heb. 12:2). That's such a great chapter and speaks of endurance, and lately i've learned by reading this that i must look to Christ, who suffered and endured so much more than i've ever had to. So i set my eyes on Him, and i keep on running.

Keep running of course, in so far as it's in fellowship with him, lest the emptiness slow us down, break us down. & yeah, that's what that whole chapter is about. We just forget the 'looking up' mixed with the embracing & being embraced.

Location & price.. always the determining factor.. & that's the 'war' part of it.. faster, better for less!

Pirates? You want us to steal ppl's cars and drive them til the gas runs out(parallel to taking over a ship)?

That could be fun...i'm game. Up for it mark? But i'd rather go for the real thing, and actually attempt to commandeer a real, wooden ship. And sail it around the carribean for a few months. You'll see your pirates soon, stine, it takes a day or two to edit video and upload!

Hmm.. real wooden ship.. Well, they did a pretty good job in Pirate of the Caribbean with only 2-3 people, so I suppose it can be done!
