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. :)

Little mundane pleasures of life

It’s Monday afternoon, and I am very thankful for the little mundane pleasures of life that God gives us.  For Lunch I sautéed onions in a bit of butter, I seasoned it with garlic powder and dried cilantro a bit of black pepper and some pink Himalayan sea salt.  After the onions were slightly soft, I lowered the temp on the stove top and cracked three eggs over the onions, after they were set a bit I turned them and the onions over and added a bit of parmesan.  after two more minutes it was ready with the eggs being just a little runny.  It was really good.  As I sat there eating I thanked our Father as I took a bite.  I thanked him for each ingredient and I thanked him for letting us experience good tasting things. for making our taste buds.  He didn’t have to do that, He didn’t have to make us that way and he didn’t have to make good tasting things to eat, but he did.

Colorado

In the fall of 1995 I attended vincennes University. I studied sign language and English. All that semester, I was not motivated, and I had decided that I didn't know what I wanted to major in. As December came around I had decided not to go back second semester. That first semester was already really expensive, and I didn't want to spend more money when I had know idea what I wanted to do. I moved back home, and got a job at Wall-mart as a night st ocker in the craft and fabric department. I hated it, and worst of all I felt like I was a failer. At that point, sense i was working at night and sleeping during the day I really did not have a group of people to fellowship with. Also, all my friends had moved away to collage or got married and started having kids. In July of 1996, I decided to take advantage of my Aunt and Uncle's offer to come stay with them in Colorado, I remember making the chose as a response to feeling like I was too comfortable just living at home. I lo...

Hope

Isaiah 54:1-17 [1] “Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband, ” says the Lord. [2] “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. [3] For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. [4] “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. [5] For your Maker is your husband---the Lord Almighty is his name---the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. [6] The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit---a wife who married young, only to be rejected,” says your God. [7]...
