still alive and tired

summary of time:
1/14/2005 went to tahoe and spoke to high schoolers, awesome time i had forgotten what it was like to be with a youth group and in relationship. loved the conversations in the mini van that i got to drive with some cool kids. we talked about usher, about a majority of hip hop songs that sing about "women, sex and money"unfortunately it is true. but most importantly talked about a scripture from colossians that has rocked me the past few weeks, "presenting each other perfect before christ" oh to do that and not argue about pointless stuff. help us jesus.
1/17/2005:
returned from tahoe
1/18:
drove to pasadena-beautiful time with bros and friends. this was an officail "busines meeting" with crotty and jordo so good. laura and i finally were able to spend our last ,wedding gift certificates as well. lets jsut say there are no pottery barns in oakhurst and they dont do business on-line can you believe it.
very cool thing about this trip-our sheets had ripped the week before so we were goint to spend our gift cert at maceys on some sheets. we had 140.32 to spend, sheets are 30 dollars but then we went around the corner to the clearence table. laura hates the daunting task of shopping and so we were praying for something and then on the corner there was a metalic caviar colored kitchen-aid mixer. it was a 6qt size. the largest residential model they have, 430$ not gonna happen normally but then there was another price tag, 375, then another price tag, 230, then a sign 40% off. i called the lady from the check stand over to verify the price. she said yes 40 percent off of 230, making it 130. un real. we took it to the counter jsut completely blown away. another woman in line asked how much and we said 130 she was floored. and immediately began talking about how long she had been waiting for a long time for one, some of you may say so did you give it to her?.....no.....we were praying for a kitchen-aid and jesus hooked us up with 75 percent off and a gift cert, booyah he doesnt give half assed stuff.
