Snowboarding is a great thing!

snowboarding

ok so this is a complete change of mood from the last post. But I just wanted to say I'm going snowboarding tomorrow and am very excited about that.

"Life isn't fair but God's good" - R.H. Schuller

Hey friends,

I've known the guy and his family for the last 10 years. You all know that the church i come from is very small which makes us all family. The last 36 hours has been pretty rough. I've spent most of the time contacting family and friends to inform them about the accident and arranging gatherings at the church. I thought i would get used to calling people but it has only got worse. It's hard to find the balance between being professional and give time for my personal grief. I'm asking God for strenght to be able support his family and the kids in the youth group in the very best way. The guy was one of my sister's biggest fans (=)), which makes it extra hard on her. He drove the motorbike you can se on the picture and hit the side of Jeep in the background. When he arrived at the hospital his head injuries where so hard so the doctors couldn't do anything to save him.

It's hard to realize that life can change so fast. I was hanging out with him 5 days ago and today his dead. It puts everything in a perspective.

(sorry for using this for therapy)

Here’s a story worth telling during the holidays. “Mommy farted and tried to hide it and the airplane had to make an emergency landing”. An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing because of just that.

An American Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Nashville after passengers reported the smell of sulphur from burning matches.

The matches were found on the seat of a woman who had attempted to conceal the odour of flatulence with the matches, Nashville airport authorities said. […]

“It was determined that she was trying to conceal body odour,” said Lynne Lowrance of the Nashville Airport Authority.

So, apparently this woman thought that she could get away with lighting matches on an airplane without the passengers or crew catching wind of her sneakiness. Tsk tsk. Maybe this woman needs the flatulence concealing underwear insert?

Isacson Request:

Nolan, could you please post this at our blog? I don't have access to internet so i'm typing this on my phone....
I got a message 8 hours ago that a really good friend of mine, that I've known for several years who's a part of my youth group, had been in a traffic accident. All i knew was that it was serious. So i went to the hospital where i met his parents found out that he had just passed away. I even got to see him. When we where done at the hospital we arranged a gathering at the church. I need your prayers right now. Ya'll know me and knows that this kind of stuff-counsellings emotional stuff... isn't what I'm best at. I need wisdom to handle everything right- his family and friends, funerals, people etc.

Thanks - David

contact buzz

so in my english class yesterday, a kid walks in and sits next to me and goes, "do you know what we're doing today?"

"i think we're just watching that movie"

"oh that would be f-ing great. I'm so high."

at this point i got a whif of him... he wasn't lying.
pretty sure i would have gotten a contact buzz if i had to sit by him much longer...

"Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died. The End!" Ha. Random.

So...went to see Krystle Bolton last night. Her mom was visiting (and if you guys remember meeting her mom, you can imagine how that was), and Krystle's boyfriend was there. He's 42. She decided not to go to England so that she could move here to be close to her boyfriend. She hates it here. We did'nt get to REALLY talk since we weren't alone, but I just didn't get a very ... optimistic impression. Since she lives nearby, though, we can get together again.

Hmm...

weird post... but I want to contribute

my abe has crawled up in my lap and started giving himself a bath. Apparently I need one too because in between some of his cleaning he'll start licking my hands and all over my face, even my shirt. It's like he's giving me a bath. Are me and my cat too close?

so i just discovered one of my new pet peeves. you know when you sit in a leather chair and it warms up because of your body heat. well, i just went to shift my weight a little bit and, since the char was warm-ish, my pants seemed to have mysteriously bonded to it. I slid down a little bit, my pants stayed where they were, and i gave my self an uncomfortable little wedgie. yeah... that may be a new pet peeve.
either that or i didn't notice the syrup that had been sloshed all over it previous to my sitting...

also...

I'm sitting in Panera Bread doing home work right now. There is a guy sitting at table in front of me with his dad(?). Anytime the dad gets up to get more coffee, this guy busts into an ongoing rap which must be continuously running through his head. the reason i know this is becaus ehe bobs his head and lips the words. it really is pretty amuzing. no pet peeve in that...

BOR-ing

I"m tired of looking at those same posts with no new comments, so I'm making a new one. I'm pretty disappointed because some friends and I are going to some big outdoor Christmas carol sing along concert...thing, and everyone's suppose to bring candles and it'll be really cool. And what does one have to bring to somethign like this? A thermos of hot chocolate, of course! So I boil my water and make the hot chocolate and put it in the thermos, only to discover that either the lid is broken or I'm missing a part, so no hot chocolate for me. How sad. Oh well. Last night Elena and I had some girls over and we made a cake and watched a Hallmark Christmas movie, and it was very cozy. I love the Christmas season! Still no snow, but it is colder now, but only in the 40's, 30's at night.

So this was very boring, but at least it's something new. Oh, and you should all go to my website and participate in the number-guessing game, because the winner gets a prize from me in the mail! Well, you may have to participate in next weeks competition, because the dealine for this weeks was today, and there's already a winner. But play next week!!
