A Look Back At 2007: Going Low-Fat
2007-12-31 21:48:11
Last New Year's Eve I was sick. The toe surgery I had the previous month had taken my immune system down for the count and I got sick three times over the next few months. At least each one was less severe than the previous. One of my New Year's resolutions was to get to 140 and if you go by official weigh-ins then I made it. I was 139.6 on my last official weigh-in of the year on December 30....

Seattle, Day 2
2007-11-17 16:23:51
I feel like there are two children in the house - Marina and Dad. Dad uses his disability (he's been in a wheelchair since before I was born) as his reason for not doing anything. April and I are constantly caring for one or the other. Today we went to REI, then the pet store. Then April, Dad, and Marina went to Costco. She said I wasn't needed so I stayed home and eventually took a walk...

Conference Journal, Day 6
2007-08-07 02:00:42
Free Friday Day 6 Friday, August 3 Had breakfast, then cut morning worship to get a shower. I barely made it to the morning Bible study at 9:15. The study was about the sheep and goats and how the lost really are lost (the theme for today is "The Lost Really Are Lost"). I took lots of notes. After Bible study I had only one blank sheet in my current sermon notebook. Good thing I brought...

What color is your brain?
2007-06-02 17:55:00
Your Brain is BlueOf all the brain types, yours is the most mellow. You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time. You don't try to think away your troubles. Your thoughts are realistic, fresh, and honest. You truly see things as how they are. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about your friends, your surroundings, and your life.What Color Is Your Brain? Technorati tagged: diary,...
