fish and heaven

I put a little pond of goldfish above and you can feed them if you want. Who doesn't like to feed a fish?

Also, lately I have noticed a theme in conversations and quiet times. Heaven. So here's the deal. In multiple conversations last week I found myself discussing views of heaven and they seemed to differ more than they seem that they should among the same religion. It confuses me. We grow up learning that as long as we are saved and make a good effort throughout life then you are in, golden. I don't think I buy it. It's not that I don't think a lot of people will get in, but I do wonder. The bible says that "few will enter". I hope that I am wrong. We do a lot sitting back and waiting until we scare ourselves or something shakes us. I for one would rather figure it out sown here while I can.

Feed my fish!

Weather is an amazing thing. I think you would have a difficult time finding anyone who does not have a considerably better attitude as the 60degree weather of spring rolls into town. Because we live in the ozarks as soon and beautifully as it came it will quickly leave and be replaced by normal, cold, winter weather. Our moods shift with the weather. As most of us have dealt with the moody weather of the ozarks we are good at controlling our outer attitude or have even trained ourselves to "like" winter. I don't buy it. Obviously if you have a choice you would pick spring over winter. I think people learn to just live in the season.

Construction Workers

Thing I think about:

Lately I have been completely impressed with construction workers. I feel that everyone assumes they are .... not of great moral standard and looks right past the fact that they can do awesome things like build roads! Seems simple... but do YOU know how to build a road?? I don't. I don't even think I could build a paper air plane let alone understand all of the math, materials and planning that goes into building a structure from the ground up! I for one, am impressed.

I have come to the conclusion that health teachers all over the world are confused. We, as humans, actually experience two sets of puberty. Stick with me. The first is the super uncomfortable one that involves lots of growing, hair and general years of "awkward stage".
The second set of puberties happens in you mid 20's. This one is when your body begins to resemble that of your parents(generally of the parents that you match in gender). I have been discussing the difference in high-school body vs. senior year of college body with a friend ...... much different. It's almost like our bodies are prepping themselves for children, mini-vans, and diets. If it hasn't hit you yet, get ready. You will look down in the near future and realize that you are quickly becoming much more pear-shaped that you ever thought you would. Or maybe that arm hair is beginning to migrate to the smooth under part of your forearm, one dark hair at a time(boys).
