Ice Cream and Hobbes

In an attempt to being intellectual, I am writing while reading through my reading packet for history. My nerdness got excited today in class because we're starting the Scientific Revolution and discussing philosophers such as Hobbes, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Locke, and my personal favorite Wollstonecraft. Gotta love these guys (and girl). Trying to explain humans, well that's a minefield only the bravest get themselves into. Except Freud, I'm almost certain he just wrote all that stuff just to get on the nerves of as many intellectual-wannabees as possible. I bet he woke up one day and was like, "I know a foolproof plan to become famous and make myself seem super duper smart! I can come up with all this shtuff that no one will understand (or want to) and therefore I will be a genius because no one can understand it!" He was just plain weird. I can appreciate weirdness, but not when it's running Han solo and there's no Sense to accompany it. You have to have some small amount of sense in all that psycho-babble.

And now, as I'm staring at myself in the mirror with my oh so intellectual-looking reading glasses on, I am making studious and quizzical facial expressions and the first thought that comes to my mind is, "I WANT ICE CREAM!" Now, before you jump to conclusions, this isn't completely random because I've been realizing as of late that I have an icky taste in my mouth due to the fact that I accidentally took a nap a couple hours ago, and therefore ice cream would be the perfect solution to that problem.

Good Times

It's interesting and rather depressing how long I've been putting off this whole blog "thing". It's not like I'm too busy because I find plenty of ways to do a lot of stuff I don't have to and not do the things I should do. I am proud to share that I gave the message at youth group on Wednesday night and in addition to my message, the whole night was a great success! More people attended than I was expecting, needless to say this freaked me out quite a bit because I wasn't entirely ready to speak in front of people I didn't know. One hilarious little moment that happened that night which I keep remembering is when at the end of the night we were cleaning up outside and I grabbed the lighter to bring inside, but instead of taking it into the house, I decided to have a little bit of fun and catch a plant on fire and then quickly blow it out. Well, as I was dramatically leaning down and getting ready to light the thing, my pal Josh yells in my ear and I screamed bloody murder and jumped a foot or two. I skulked into the house immediately while he cracked up at my reaction, which he definitely was NOT expecting. Good times, good times. In all, it could be described as the best kind of party with the best kind of people. The worship was laid back and awesome. The whole campfire thing added to the ambiance and it was pretty cool. :) I made Jesus cookies! They were just crosses actually and SOME people were telling me that they should have been named cross cookies instead because that would be more accurate...well I say being accurate is highly overrated.

P.S. For you wondering minds, the topic of my discussion that night was "God's Unfailing Love"
