Ok, I lied...

So shoot me. As long as it's done in a stylish and honorable way like Bourne. What did I lie about? The whole not posting something serious during SAW.

My reasons? Seminary. WE were challenged to say what's in our head when it comes. I thought about it...thought about making something dramatic and thought-provoking calling you all morons in the process, but you finally decided to make a response. So, now I will do another 5 minute, or maybe it will be dramatic. We'll see.

This is the hard part...making it sound all dramatic without...whatevfer...yeah...

I guess I'll tell the story.

That winter campout I was telling about? It was awesome. WE went cross-country skiing, had lots of sweets, and I got the fire all to myself (come to think of it, it must have been an oversight on my leaders part). But eventually the man of the hour came out, and you guessed it. Told me not to play with fire. *remembers...* Oh, the fun we had...

Anyways, apparently he could tell I wasn't myself. We talked about the stars (my favorite subject), then he asked my week. So I told him, and he picked apart pieces of it. He is really good at this mind stuff...but, the one thing that hit me the most (it could just be me needing to hear it over....but who knows?) was his answer. Actually...a lot of things he says are fun...

Love isn't always on time. Just like that song by Toto, it never occured to me in this way, but love withstands trials. It keeps hold long after you'd think it dead. It's always there. That's the difference from a crush, where a stupid thing is said or done and it's 'over'. Screw the world, screw the common mind (not his words, but the best way I can remember it). If it's there, and it's right, go for it. Deal with the so-called "problems".

Well, that was the hard part. I've been over it five times and still can't make it sound any better. So, I'll leave it at that.

until another time!
