Thursday, the day after Wednesday

Today was sweet. I took my test in OLS (Organizational Leadership & Supervision), and felt extremely confident about it. I am sitting in my English class right now updating, because I didn't get to bed till late. It is actually 9:00AM, Friday as I type, but I do this often. When I have missed a day, I go back to that day and talk as though I am still in it. I am so pumped, because in like 45 minutes I am going to be leaving for the FARM.
Back to yesterday. After I got done taking my test, I headed down town to check out this bead place. It is a place I am trying to speak to the owner about. I want to see if Tony could possibly fill some orders for her bead shop. She was not in. But, when I got done, I went to the library to kill some time. I saw this huge sign on the side of a building. It kind of made me slightly frustrated, because what the heck does that mean? HOPE, as if one man, in a position that doesn't even give him that much power can change the way everything works. It should have a picture of Jesus next to it. That would make more sense to me.

When I got home later on in the evening, I held the ladder up for my dad while he scooped out leaves and pine needles out of the gutter.Yes, I thought I would take a nice butt shot. Your welcome dad. I made some bad choices later on in the evening, sometimes it's so easy to be pathetic. Sometimes it's too easy to "not stand firm." Hummm, doing right isn't always easy or simple. GO FIGURE!!
I am really ready to get to the farm. To talk with God while in a tractor or a semi. Love those big machines, it's where I love to be. God is good, God is great, and I thank him for this day.
A boastful, prideful, sinner. But Grace has set me free! It's a beautiful thing.

"HOPE" next to mr obamas picture means just that..."hope" for a better future, better leader of our country, better decision maker. Not everyone equates god as the only "end all" hope for us...I "hope" he helps us to choose a good person to lead our country, but he didn't last time, although mr. bush ran on a christian coalition position..No young man, who i will guess has never voted, "HOPE" is a word that many of us have for our potential new president. i "hope" you are registered and will be voting too. I believe your god of hope would want us all to be involved in our country, and not just judgemental of those of us who are..

I find your tone extremely unappealing. And I will NOT be voting. Not this election, or the next, or the next, or the next, or the next, or the next, or the next, or the next. Maybe the election right after the 6th president is elected, I will take my "civic duty" as a citizen of the United States of America more seriously. I sure hope not, but it's possible.

You know, I thought about my comment all day. It had been really bothering me that I said what I said. Let me just be honest with you. I really struggle with our government. My views are widely confused and it is more a matter of frustration than anything. Please don't stop commenting, please comment in any tone you wish. I really learn a lot from your comments, and appreciate them. Sometimes I just take things too personal. Sorry for being a snob to you because of my inner political conflicts.
