What I Did This Summer?

Do you want to know the reason there were so few entries this summer?
I got my first "official" job. This job took a lot of my time making it difficult for me to do anything else besides the basics when I came home. At this job I did many things that I haven't done in years and I never thought I'd ever do.

I saw the beauty of a lake at sunset

I rode a horse for the first time EVER! Bonanza her I come!! I was so scared that I'd fall off the saddle. I had fun so I may even ride again.

A dream of mine since I was preteen was to see glass blowing live and this summer I got that privilege.

Got locked in a dark walk-in refrigerator with panicking children. I had to calm them down, try to get out and stop my own hyperventilation.

Went paddle boating which I haven't done in at least a decade.

Went on a field trip by bus which I haven't done in about 14 years.

Made a cool oil lava lamp.

I learned to deal with difficult people and not cry about it (at least in front of them).

I used a green screen for the first time.

I stepped on a live fish. I've never stepped on a fish in my life. I tried to pull the hook from it's mouth and failed horribly.

I had sushi for the first time. It had no raw fish and consisted of carrots, cucumbers and rice wrapped in seaweed. It was bad but because it was not prepared by someone who knew what they were doing I'm willing to try it again given the chance. Is it suppose to be sweet? Mine was and I didn't like that factor.

I learned the Israeli National Anthem, that HaTikvah ("The Hope") and a few Hebrew words.

I got out of my comfort zone to take up leadership positions.

Last I'd like to mention the thing that made my job the most fun which was the camaraderie among coworkers. I loved our get togethers outside the workplace and dancing on the job. I'll miss this the most.

I learned much this Summer and experienced many things I had no plan on doing this Summer or ever. So I thank God for those past 3 months. Looking back, the difficulties are menial compared to the fun I had.


I hope you all had a great Summer as well. I'm so ready for the Fall. This heat is very annoying at the moment.

Until my next entry,
Tempress

Pursuit of Purity: Trip Lee and the Mowry's

Image
January last year I told the good news from Rebecca St. James, Tia and Tamera Mowry. Now I have more good news to share!! I choose to share good news from the men and women in popularity who have chosen to attempt to live a godly life. lol I try to find people who will encourage believers in their pursuit of purity. Christian rap artist, Trip Lee of Reach Records with his wife, Jessica are having a baby!! YAY!! Trip Lee revealed in his song "Good Thing" that he and his wife is expecting a little one after much prayer. Trip Lee and his wife married at age 21 and 22. After being asked so many times why they married so young they wrote their answers out for everyone to see. Trip's Perspective Yesterday I made a late night stop at the store to grab a few things and I had a very interesting conversation with the cashier. We made small talk as she scanned my items, and then she offered me a discount card but I told her my wife already had one. That’s when th

PSA: My Generation!!

Image
  If you say you're not a follower you most likely are. To my generation I see people constantly trying to speak unification of the world but hate those whose views oppose their own. They say older adults and children are drones yet look at your choices, you're no different. You think you're above the masses? Hey you maybe different from your neighbor and friends but there's someone out there who's influenced your decision to be so very "different". Assess your choices. Adults are dumb? "When you grow up your heart dies"?   Every teen generation ahead of your own (especially the 60s) thought they were smarter than everyone. Some (not all) adults got the memo that life isn't all about pleasure. Life isn't all about art, music and love. If you want to own something, you're faced with Uncle Sam the Tax man and all other little fees placed on you. If you have kids, your heart walks around in a little body that you try desperately to

Single Ladies

Image
As Stacie Orrico sang, "There's gotta be more to life than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me." You want to know why we're so desperate for companionship? The tv, the songs, media is feeding us a horrible message that if you're not in a relationship you're not living life truly, you can't be happy nor satisfied. I say without Christ you can't be truly satisfied. There's this new show coming out this summer called Single Ladies... They shouldn't have titled the show Single Ladies because they sure don't want to be single nor are they acting like ladies. How about Desperate Women?!! Come on!! Is that what being Single is all about? Looking for someone to change your status to taken?!    I like Queen Latifah but she could have done better than this- A black "Sex in the City"? The trailer (I do not advise kids to watch this. It has a sex scene and swearing): http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/612708/single-ladies-tr
