I saw the future, but I couldn't see what was in it.

I’ve been doing some thinking lately. Most of it is either incoherent or completely fictional so I won’t mention the bulk of it. But what I’m zeroing in on it the thoughts about what to do for the rest of my life. I need to figure out what I want to do, and fast, but I’m finding it difficult to decide what I want to do. I feel like there are so many options, and I have too little time to review them.

I don’t know if anyone at the college noticed or not, but I’m not really a decisive person. I have a hard time choosing between things, even when they appear to be exact opposites. It’s part of why many of my decisions are made slowly, and why I’m rather stubborn about reviewing the options again when a new one comes up.

This will be one of the bigger decisions of my life, and I want to be sure that I get it right. At the same time I want to get my decision over with quickly. I also want some meat, and there doesn’t appear to be any in this house. Oops, one of the of the bulk ones escaped. Maybe it’s time for a nap, or another episode of the X files, or I could look for meat, it is suppertime.

Facebook= (>.<)

So for anyone who checks my blog, my facebook is frozen, and that’s why I haven’t changed anything on it. Stupid dial-up, and stupid people who designed a popular networking program for “everyone” that requires something that not everyone has. Oh well, I hate facebook anyway.

A lot has happened in the last while so here is the summary.

I’ve been fishing for the last couple of weeks, and I am so glad to be back. As I figured it regulated my sleep schedule, so I’m back to the 9:30/10 PM – 5:30/AM sleep times, without an alarm! I feel rejuvenated.  It’s been nice on the water, and I’ve been able to clearly see most of the sunrises so far. Let me assure you, no sunrise can be more beautiful than one seen rising from the water. The bad side is that lobster is only 2.75 a pound. For the people who don’t exactly understand how bad that is, Grampy needs at least 4 $ a pound to break even.

I finally got around to ordering a nice recurve bow. I ordered a Chek Mate bow with black walnut limbs, 58 inches tall, 29 inch draw length, and 55 pound draw. The awesome news is that each order is custom made and costs about 300 dollars Canadian! Bad news is that because its custom made, and they are very cheap and popular it will take up to 8 months for them to make it and send it to me. It’ll still be a fantastic Christmas present.

I taught our adult Sunday school class this last Sunday. I felt nervous, but I used the training and knowledge I gained from MCC so everything came together fairly well. I’d tell you what the lesson was, but the book is far from my reach right now. Dad says I did such a great job that he’s going to take the summer off and let me teach Sunday school for the rest of the summer (>_<). Worse things could happen I suppose, he’s after Ted to preach a sermon sometime soon. I think he’s trying to train us to do his jobs so he doesn’t have to do anything.

Update next week

Graduation

I GRADUATED! I got my Biblical Studies Certificate from MCC, I’ve finished my first year at college. 

It’s been an amazing year, learning how to be on my own, meeting new people, making new friends who share what I believe and what I’m passionate about, and deepening my knowledge understanding of God. I am so thankful for being able to take this year to learn my faith, and here I will thank everyone by name (In no particular order) that helped me make it through.

John MacDonald – I thank you for your opinions, when I needed my view challenged you gave me a new perspective, another angle to judge something by. I thank you for your diverse tastes in everything, and I thank you for introducing me to Red Bull.

Darrell Haines – I thank you for your inconsistency.  When I needed a laugh you were there with the “right” comment to make. I also thank you for your personal advice, and for showing me that its OK I don’t have to worry.

Vincent Arsenault – I thank you for showing me “It’s not so bad”. I also thank you for your realism when I needed it. I also have you to thank for getting me into the foosball playoffs, coming in when I need some stress relief or a break and asking if I want to play a game.

Jason McVicar – I thank you for your perspective. When I asked, or even simply brought up a subject you would show me the facts about what your stance was. You also helped to dispel some of the fear I have when I teach anybody about God, if I end up going into ministry it’ll be your fault. I also thank you for giving me a simple workout routine that I can actually stick to, and for introducing me to Utopia.

James Stevenson – I thank you for toughening me up. I always prayed for patience and God answered me. You helped me learn to laugh things off, no matter how severe they sound. I also thank you for when you presented your serious side. It showed me that it’s possible to live through this world and retain your own views and your faith.

Robbie Sevilla – I thank you for your advice, it helped me shape the way I do things. I also thank you for giving me chances to try things that I never thought I could do, and showing me that I can succeed. I also thank you for your sense of humour.

Simon Macintyre – I thank you for showing me that it’s possible to live off a diet of pure salt. I also thank you for showing me that I don’t have to be good at everything, just good at what I do.

 

I wish everyone well over the summer, I will miss you all.
