msp.

ok so i just wrote this whole stupid blog and it didnt' go through. anyways, it just said that i am sitting in MSP right now. (minneapolis airport), bought some wireless time on my comp. my flight is delayed. suppose to be on the plane flying right now. but i'm not leaving until 4:20. sucks. already downed a tall latte from SBs. need a diet pepsi. sitting on the floor. listening to A.Keys.

i can't wait to get down to FL. not only do i see my favorite person. i get to see some of my other favorites. the Justices. we'll have to live it up on Monday. woo woo. and we'll probably pass through where i used to live. PSL/JB. good times all around. now it's just getting down there.

ok well i'm done now.

enjoy your time down in FL...oh wait, no, you're not going down there, i am.. haha j/k.

fly.

2 more full days. my smile couldn't be bigger. i am kind of nervous about flying though. i haven't been on a plane for over 2 years. crazy. that's all i have to say.

thank you.

so i thought i would explain the pictures you are about to look upon, if you scroll down. -for all the legalistic people out there. Last night the Dunn Bros' gang all went to Scott's house to have our own little goin away bash for him. i had to work till 9 but i got there around 9:20 or so. they had already been getting down with the long necks. i walk in, with a Diet Coke in my hand.-that's the extent of my drinking. like i would actually put myself through the grossness of beer. ick. anyways, we all have lots of laughs. i watched as 2 of the girls got completely drunk. took pics. laughed. just was there. showing that i can hang out with them. not being legalistic. not being all churchy. i left, completely, sober, and i got praised for that, even before people were drunk. they like my self-control. but i was walking out the door and Scott (not being all that drunk...) said, "thank you." most of me wants to believe that, that Thank You, was more than just thanking me for just showing up. i didnt' buy the beer, i wasn't supplying, what was there for me to be thanked for...?? i dont' know.

anyways, i left, driving home, thinking...i just watched people drink, to the point of drunk. still laughed, had a good time, was still in my right mind. not looking down upon them, for drinking or getting drunk...just loving them. not loving what they're doin, but loving who they are. and me and my Diet Coke, could have set a little example, who knows. maybe they won't remember me even being there, but maybe they will. it was still worth, trying to show a little Jesus, last night.

ministry...life.

Even though i am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, i have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized---whoever. I didnt' take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ---but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I've become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those i meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didnt' just want to talk about it; i wanted to be in on it! -1Cor.9.

The Diet Coke is mine.... 

Dunn Bro's Group pic. before the night actually started. (for them, i was the only sober one...) 

Bethany and I. this is right before I left, Bethany wasn't drunk, so we got to take a normal picture together!! 

Scott's toast, good times here in Rochester, good people... from that point it all went down hill... 

Bethany's reaction...to Scott's toast. hehe

not too deep.

today, i'm sitting in DB-South. not working!! just chillin. reading. listening to Lifehouse. not my fav. band, but it's a good cd to listen to when just chillin. i'm debating what i should get to drink, 50% off, it's beauty.

but in it all, i'm so pissed right now. i walked out of my house to my car, just now before coming here. and i found my car, that i love, (go head, call me materialistic-sp?) .....EGGED!! that's not a good thing to have chillin on your car all night. no one messes with my car. for real.

anyways, to more important things. white mocha, i think that's what i'll have. maybe not though, maybe i'll start with free coffee for now. brb....aight.

so i got the new DMB. it's different. i still have to listen to it to get a better opinion. Rob Thomas has a new one too....i want it. not too deep today.

i'm goin to Orlando, in less than 2 weeks. i seriously can't wait. and i got a. sweet b-day presents. anywayss...i'll be back. i'm goin to read now....then figure out new music junk.

Ah, God is good. Psalm 111. just seemed to come alive to me. i dont' know why. Proverbs 15:11-such encouragement. maybe just for me.

thunder.

i love it outside right now!! thunder and lightning. BRING IT! but it's freakin cold out, i don't know what's going on.

Things are good. Church. Youth. Work. Boyfriend. still growing everyday, it's good.

I'm watching the Simple Life right now. i never get my Thurs. Fri and Sat. nights off. so i've been just chillin out tonight.

I will be in FL two weeks from tonight and i can't even begin to explain how excited i am.

Andre just got an apartment, fully furnished. i'm jealous. it's a great deal right now for him. and yes, Andre i am excited for you...i can't wait to see it!!

The pics below are from Christy and mine's trip to W. this past weekend. For mothers day. it was fun.

Ryan and Christy just chillin.

CINCO DE MAYO.

the beauty of holidays. even if it's not an american holiday. people can still live it up. this is the first year we had a party. i believe andy, darrell, and josh martin started the celebration when they were roomies at NCU. anyways, now that andy and darrell are roomies again and my bro is a youth pastor. we had a celebration. so the pics below are of that....

i walked into andy/darrell's house after work, and i heard music blairing and people singing along. Jesus Rules!!! it's the funniest song ever!! i wish i could put it on my xanga background. anyways. there were about 6 or 7 people dancing around a sombero. it was frickin' hilarious. anyways. that's all i'm goin to describe. i guess you had to have been there.

good times. good times.

till next year cinco de mayo.

CINCO DE MAYO. Rules- guys had to have mustaches and girls had to wear fluffy skirts(or draw staches on their faces) i'm honestly surprised the cops were not called on us. we were living it up!!!  

JESUS RULES!!! (the song blairs) I wish everyone could hear this song. it's the best EVER! i walked in while people were screaming the lyrics. pure craziness. 5-5-05
