Hello again,

It is now, technically, thanksgiving day, and if you don't mind, I would like to give thanks for a moment. First and foremost, i would like to give thanks to my creator, and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Althought I have tried his patience this year, He has overwhelmed me, with His grace and mercy. I have many things to be thankful for, but at the root of all, is Jesus. I pray, that during this holiday season, "He alone", remains the center and the main recipient of our gratitude. It is so easy, with all the friends, family, and other influences that surround the holidays, to forget about the one who has provided all the comforts that we deem "necessity". I just hope that we can all take a moment out of our holiday, to remember our source and saviour, Jesus Christ, for the blood he shed , and the the grace he pours. I thank you Lord, and love you with all my heart, soul, and mind, for the incredible blessings you have showered upon me. Forgive me please, for my ungrateful heart, and negligent mind. May we never forget your passion and sacrifice for us. In Jesus name. Amen!

Sweet completion.

Hello again. As most of you know, I am completely obsessed with "Friends", say what you want, but it was the best show ever. I say all that, because the final season finally came out on DVD this week, and my collection is finally complete. I know some of you find this obsession annoying, and somewhat unhealthy, but I disagree. I think that the reason I enjoy this show as much as I do, is because within these characters, I see things that remind me of myself, and most importantly, MY friends. The ups and downs, the fights and reconciliation, and most of all, the insanity. The thing that I relate to most of all, is that, the older you get, the more you're friends become family. I find myself looking forward to holidays, not because of the abundance of relatives, but rather the fact that once the obligations are fulfilled I get to be with my real family. I want to stop here, and personally thank Tabby and Patty for providing a place and time where I can get together with my real family and enjoy the holidays. I hope that this tradition goes on for years to come, and it ceases to be called "friends" thanksgiving, and truly becomes known as a family event. To all of my family, I say, I love you and I cant wait to celebrate with you.

Visions of greatness?

Hello few, I say few, because that is more fitting for this blog(although, I am very grateful for the visitors I do have). I have recently found myself at a very intersting crossroads. I am constantly caught between the desire for greatness, and the simplicity of mediocrity. In my heart, I long to change the world, but in reality, I just want to live an above average life, and be left alone. Where do I go from here??? I know that I have greatness in me, but it seems that laziness and apathy, are always the dominant traits. I am really at loss, so if anyone has any comments, they are more than welcome. Thank you few.
