so apparently, i've been asked why i even bother being on AIM since i'm allegedly always away... well, here's the deal: usually, i tell people to call my cell phone. and most people know that number. if they don't, then they can always leave a pleasant/funny/random little message for me on AIM to get back to them when i can. personally, i don't have the hours in the day to just sit on my butt and chat with people. i'd rather know that my days were taken up with more productive, involved in the real world type things. besides, i much prefer talking with people face-to-face or on the phone. i only leave AIM on with an away message so that if people say from college or work or something want to chat, they can know to call me, of it they do leave a message, i can get back to them.


besides.... who really cares about my internet practices??



today has been one of those good, typical type days. i have a clean room, a clean kitchen, nearly all of the clothes in the house have been laundered, and i actually got to sit and read for a whole straight hour before the sun went down. usually my reading is restricted to when the crickets, cicadas, and tree frogs are trying to create some sort of night life symphony outside my window.

interesting thoughts about using time wisely today. got a lot accomplished, but still know that i need to organize my time better. i was more eager to read my book than my bible this morning. in a way, i'm glad that Bible reading is not required because then i know i'm reading it because i actually want to. i just wish my "want to" showed up a whole lot more often than it does now.

i should be getting on a plane tomorrow, winging over the "pond" towards those green hills i love so much. trust and patience were never my strongest points. but i suppose that's why i'm still here, unemployed, and missing certain friends so much it hurts; i have to learn somehow.

what was it that man said?

i believe; help Thou my unbelief.
