1) "Terrible Tuesday" was given new meaning this week.
2) I'm naturally scared of confrontation. I talk a big game.
3) My grandma has called me every morning to just check on me. I love her.
4) My boss/friend & I can yell at & cry with each other.
5) I plan on running after this'n.
6) Tomorrow is Thanksgiving for the Morris clan
7) That moment when you're praying and you know God is replying to you. Yea, that's true comfort. It's like Scripture in a conversational manner.
8) Started painting my first painting this week. Dark colors.
9) I'm a cynical-mind-speaking mess. If I offend you... Well then... Oops?
10) In the end, no matter what happens I must must must say, my God is in control... Because it's all I've got.

Friday's Thoughts
1) The Kat tries to eat birds through windows - it never works.
2) "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Easy to say when you feel strong. Necessary when weak.
3) Updated my phone, ipad, and macbook yesterday. It took a combined 7 hours to do it all.
4) Restore to me the joy of my salvation.
5) Had a Gradma grandson date. I ate a lamb.
6) Class on Tuesday night felt like falling into the rabbit hole. We communicated about communicating for the communication of theory in communication - yea, that's about right.
7) Hello allergies. Die, die now.
8) I get to re-do the presentation which went so horribily because, "I don't think you knew exactly what I wanted." Check.
9) I watch movies in chunks now. Never one whole movie at a time. But one movie over 2 weeks.
10) NEEDTOBREATHE has an EP out. It's lovely. Here's a tune.

Week Long Thoughts
1) Kat (the cat) was fixed on Wednesday 'cause she was broken. And is sporting a trendy shaved tummy, leg, and neck.
2) I regularly have two cups (at least) of coffee in the morning.
3) We say we believe x but we act according to y; when will our practical theology match our spoken belief?
4) I had lunch with my 6th grade math teacher, I sucked at math then too. Consistency.
5) My Grandma and I have a unique relationship.
6) The Protestants need another reformation. One away from themselves.
7) Preaching this weekend over John 4:1-42 (yes, 42 verses, buckle up).
8) Ever had a day when you have it planned out and want to do a certain thing(s) but are never able to get to it? Yea, that's been my week.
9) Wichita State University has homecoming this week... One of these days I'll legitamately be out of high school. I promise.
10) India!

My Past
I’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing lately. Remembering things I’ve done and places I’ve been in contrast to where and who I am now.
Typically I don’t look back. (but I may try to forget some things, but even those things are daring to be remembered too.)
Red Lobster, that’s where it began. Eating a lovely meal with grandma. Thinking, “Tables were never this clean in Egypt and food was never this good in Uganda.” Seeing, in stark contrast mind you, the difference from where I was and where I am.
That’s where many of my thoughts have been lately.
There’s a dirty and bland world out there. There are starving children and kids with AK-47’s killing each other and their families. There are women dying in the streets far away from their home. And a man with one hand no lips, no eyes, and acid burns on his face begging for money in a dank corner of a Ugandan market.
We’d consider it out-of-control, they’d consider it normal.
Egypt I loved, Uganda scared me, Israel was homely, Amsterdam was crazy, and Frankfurt was too short.
This isn’t a list of credentials to be read and envied. It’s not a look-at-me-I’m-better-than-you-cause-I-traveled list. It’s just a dude remembering how good we’ve got it here in, “no-where,” Wichita, Kansas.
We can drink the water in the showers, and brush our teeth from faucet water and not a bottle. We all (for the most part) have cars (no matter how crappy they are). Houses, safety, and pets we don’t have to eat.
No-where Wichita seems like a vacation compared to war-torn Africa. #justsaying
