Motivations

So I  have a hard time keeping my motivation for doing anything.  I have been the most unmotivated person in the world the past month or two.  When I think of writing, I don't have the time, but when I do have the time, I am too lazy to do it.  It has been a weird month.  BooBoo died, and so we got Durden.  Thanksgiving sucked.  Amber and I had to work from 1 to 10 on thanksgiving day busing tables.  Not a good thanksgiving.  It has snowed here already.  It is sooo cold.  The low for a few nights was 13 degrees.  Where we live it is usually 10 degrees colder, so lets say at least 5 degrees.  I can't get motivated to run, or work out, or even go hiking.  I am not sure what's goig on with me, but I could use some prayer.  I love you guys.  I am sorry I haven't called that much.  Well I'll call  all of you later.

If excuses are easy why can't I think of one?

So I pretty much just suck.  I haven't written a new entry in a very long time.  Sorry guys.  Well today is Amber and my third month to be married, and I just have to say that being married is great.  I would suggest it to anyone.   Continuing along in family news we have a new little addition to our family, .................................................... nope sorry it's not a baby.  It is BooBoo, our little russian dwarf hamster.  He is awesome!  I'll put pictures of him up shortly.  He's very entertaining.  I got to have a couple of God talks with people.  It wasn't anything super deep, just spiritual conversation.  It's a start though.  Well I really don't have anything deep to write.  I love you guys.  I miss you all.  peace.

Excuses are easy

Have you guys noticed a trend in your spiritual life, I don't know I guess it could be just me, that it feels like you are always waiting on something.  I remember it starting in High School.  I thought to myself, "Things will be easier spiritually when I get to college." And then when I got to college I thought, "My relationship with God will be easier, I'll be more consistent when I get out of this spiritual bubble where I am not saturated with churchianity.  It will be better when I am working and it is my job to be right with the Lord."  What a bunch of crap.  I even thought that it would be easier when i moved out here to California, where the "pagans" would challenge my faith.  I am a foolish and dimwitted disciple.  It never gets easier.  It will always be hard and if I spend all my time looking for a future spiritual euphoria or kicking myself over the wasted time in the past I will inevitably lose the only time I really have for doing the work that needs to be done which is right now.  The only time I have controll over is now and now is the only time I will ever live in.  If we are not careful we will wait our lives away accomplishing nothing in the end.  Carpe Diem brothers.

tired

So I hiked Half-Dome on Wed.  It was a tough hike, but it had an incredible view.  Going up the cables was a little scary but fun.  I look forward to hiking it one day with you guys.   I think that you will all love it.  Mitch, you still need to post some pictures on your site.  And I was talking about copying la biblia.  Are you still doing that?  Weather's getting cold.  High's in the low 50's all week.  I think I'll miss the Texas winter.

About as inconsistent as...go ahead and fill in the blank. It'll be fun to see your answers.

I just started this thing and already I am having trouble being consistent in updating.  Story of my life.  I don't know how many journals I have tried to start, but I always get to day three and then that's it.  I'm terrible.  How is your copying going Mitch?  I hope it's going ok.  Do you other guys do journaling?  I don' t think you do Ryan, but I don't know about you Kevin.  It's frappin cold here in the valley.  I think it gets below freezing every night.  It makes for a miserable bike ride to work.  We should get our first snow around the beginning of November.  I'll post some pictures for you guys.  Speaking of pictures, the more I thought about what I wrote before about pictures not being able to capture beauty, the more I realized I'm half full of crap.  I think there is a difference between scenery shots and people/moment shots.  What I said before may be true about the latter but not the former.  I don't know.  I guess for deeper thoughts to flow you have to take the crappy with the good.  Anyway, thank you guys for being gracious to my ramblings.  I love you guys.  Here's a picture of the first place we lived.
