The Bridge @ the Cafe.

I went to the Cafe today, it was a lot of fun. Got to listen to the Bridge: Gary Murphee, on guitar; Jeff, on drums; and Jon, on bass, playing some sweet tunes. These guys are REALLY good. If you ever get the chance take the time...these guys are really good.

I got to hang out with some of my friends there; it was good to see some people I haven't seen in a while.

Gary started out using his acoustic at the beginning but used his Epiphone Dot for the second set. It was a beautiful day in Geneseo. I don't know what else to say. I didn't have classes cause it was a Saturday, and life was pretty slow...moving towards the 7:00 time.

Oh, I still don't have a wallet. I can't find it anywhere...it is REALLY annoying; cause like I don't have a license, or gift cards, or money, or hunting license. I DO have my debit card, which is good...so I can get SOME money...I just lost the money that was in the wallet. Also it is pretty unnerving having to drive around in police infested towns without it...I don't enjoy breaking the law. It just happens. This has taught me to drive more carefully...not that I was a reckless driver, but if you get pulled over for anything you get two tickets instead of one...not cool.

Sunday Oneday!

Today was fun.
I got home and talked to my friend "His Daughter" till early this morning; then going to bed around 2:30-ish. I got up around 7:45, ate breakfast, and got ready for church. My parents decided this morning that we were going to stay at my grandparents house while my dad worked on polyurethane-ing the floors we finished sanding. We started packing up to get ready for the big and temporary move. It was after that, that they decided that me and Jeff, my bro, would be going to church so they could finish up...and my lil sister Midge was sick so my mom had to stay home any way.

After we came home we ended up working on the floors more and not leaving our house till tomorrow, Monday. Me and Jeff worked on the floors, sanding, vacuuming, etc. till about 6:30, which is when evening service is at my church...so I didn't get to go tonight, and I really wanted too...but I had to clean up cause I have so much dust EVERYWHERE! (Eyes and ears are the most annoying place for sawdust to get.) But in the end I convinced my mom that I could stay here at the house, using another door, to get inn and out without walking on the polyurethaned surfaces.

One of the things that I keep thinking about from yesterday, was what Gary Murphee, from the Bridge, said,
"There are a lot of different people in the world who just don't talk to each other, they don't interact, they don't speak, they don't do ANYTHING together, never communicate; because they don't think they have anything in common. I don't believe that, I think we have lots in common; for one thing all us in the group think we have a common creator, that's a start. We have a whole bunch of other things in common too, and there is no reason why we shouldn't touch, and that's why we want to be a Bridge."
This really got me to thinking...why do I shy from certain people?, why do I avoid people I feel "uncomfortable" with?, and I think that it is because I have no way to relate to them; but I have some way to relate. No matter who you are, you share something in common with that person...it may be a chore finding out what it is...but there is something in common. And reaching that common ground may just be the tilling of the soil, or planting of the seed, or watering, or reaping the fruit of many laborers...of course I am talking about salvation, more specifically evangelism. You never know what part you will play in some one's life of sowing the seed of Jesus Christ.

The past 2 days...

The Last 2 days have been pretty hectic for me, going to school, coming home, leaving again. But still pretty amazing. Anywaz...I'll start from the beginning-ish.

Friday, 7:30 a.m. start:
My alarm went off on this, until then wonderful day. I woke up and started about my typical Friday routine: devos, breakfast, art project that would be due later that same day...wait, WHAT? I totally forgot about my art project that I needed to get done. Great, I have 5 hours to do it! Except that it is about texture...so you have to do charcoal rubbings, which are VERY messy. I ended up taking up all that time doing that project only to NOT turning it in...I was kinda upset. But that just means I get another week to work on it...and 2 other art projects...and all my other school work...

Saturday:
I ended up not going to bed until early Saturday morning (don't remember what time), I usually don't get tired until about 12:30-ish anywaz...so no surpise there. But I woke up at 7:00 which was annoying cause i could have slept another hour or so. Most of the day (from 9:30 till 5:00) I helped my dad and brother sand the hardwood floors of our house. It was a lot of work...and we were using big power sanders. At 5:00 I started getting ready to go to a concert. "The Bridge" was playing and I could not wait to go see them. The concert was awesome...it really was. They are a great bunch of guys who love the Lord, and want to please Him with their music. I saw my friend's ("His Daughter's") dad there, he is a pastor and very cool guy, he has known Gary Murphee, the guitarist from the band, as I found out, since 1991. Pretty awesome. I got home kinda late...again...and ended up talking her till 12:30-ish...let me correct that...she talked to ME until that time, about going to the Resolve Tour. If you want more on that read her blog...I follow it so the link is easy to find.
