Eddie and Zach

I love my family, and praise God for giving them to me they are such a good gift. I see my fathers side of the family quite a bit more than my mothers side of the family. The Vela's live three and a half hours away where as the wiesters live thirteen and a half hours away. This past weekend I Had a chance to tag along with my parents to visit the family in Nebraska, for an early Thanksgiving gathering. Kearney Nebraska has grown sense I've been there five years ago, and so have my little cousins. The bad thing about living so far away is that my younger cousins really don't know who I am, in fact they had a hard time remembering my name, I guess most people do anyway, but I guess it would be even harder to remember someone you never see and who is way older then they are. Not as cool because I'm an adult, and far removed from what it is like to be a kid. Well, if anyone knows me they know that I look younger then i am and I'm guessing the reason is that I am a kid at heart.

I had a chance to make a memory with Zach and Eddie, one I am sure they will remember, I hope. My house mates and I are fans of the show called mythbusters. It is on every Wednesday evenings at 9pm, if anyone doesn't know this show it is kind of a science/ special affects/comedy program on the discovery channel. One of our favorite shows was the one where they made a geyser out of 2 leader diet coke and mentos, they discovered the reason why the combination of the mentos and the diet coke was so explosive. Anyway this past weekend, Nick, Kate and I, they are a bit older, and have a little more memory of who i am, anyway we were in the mall walking around kind of waiting for our mothers who were shopping and We came upon a toy store which I spotted across the Mall I said lets go to the toy store. While we were in there nick spied a package with a plastic tub and a package of mentos. He showed it to me and asked what is this. I knew what it was right away, and got exited. I told them about the show, and all three of us bought one. We went back to grandma and grandpa's. There, we snagged some little bottles of diet coke that uncle Steven had brought. Of course Eddie and Zach were curious, and wanted to know what we were up to. With a small bottle we only got up too about 7 feet and we only used two mentos. So it was a bit weak, but I had Eddies and Zach's attention, and I had just become a bit more cool. I think one of them actually asked me how Old I was, when I told them, they said "really you don't seem that old." We tried the diet coke and mentos geyser three other times,the last one i would have to say was the most successful. I am happy to say, that next time I see Eddie and Zach, they will remember me. :)

wet pavement.

Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.

Assateague.

Assateague. A new kind of swear word, or a wild horse Island on cost of Maryland? I spoke with a friend of mine on the phone the other day. He had been wondering why he hadn't seen me in awhile, I explained that I had gone east to Delaware, there we,( we being my house mates and I) , Had adventures and time next to the ocean. While we were there, I explained that we had visited an island called Assateague. His response made me laugh" pardon me" he said." No,"I said, "I'm not swearing at you." There are these Islands called Assateague, and chincoteague. They are located in Maryland and Virginia. The Islands are national wildlife refuge. One kind of wildlife are the wild horses. We saw them up close and personal, that was unexpected. We're all ok though, and the horses only wanted to say hi, and see if we would feed them any of our strawberries. The strawberries were mine, and I was not about to give them up to a horse, no mater how wild he was. ...

He desires to know what I think and feel.

The kind of man that I want to marry, will respect and value my thoughts and feelings about life, and just stuff. I know, that at times he won't meet that need and I know that I won't always meet his needs the way they should be met, but here's the thing, If we are both pursuing God we can know that He is the one who is going to meet all our needs. I can know that the man that I am married too is not perfect yet, and that God is still working to create the man that he intended. what does it mean for husbands to respect their wives, I think it means, that before they make decisions about things, they should consider what God might be saying to her about the event, or situation. What does it mean for wives to submit and respect their husband, well I am not entirely sure but, maybe part of submit and respect for husbands is letting them know by your actions that you trust Him to make the final call, and in that you submit your will to his, or the truth is when this happens and...
