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) Got an email from my prof on Wednesday, the first line read, "Due to an accident ... I broke both of my wrists." Is it bad I thought this was the beginning of a joke?
2) Yesterday was a dust storm. Needed a 1930's soup line and it would've been a replica picture.
3) Alright, can we have Thanksgiving break next week? Cause fall break was nice, but I'm still tired.
4) Anybody else's phone been dropping calls? Super frusterating.
5) It's possible I know when T-swizzle's new album is coming out - gonna buy it.
6) This has been the week of non-sleep. The 4 hours I got Wednesday night was partcularly stupid. Also, being tired makes my thoughts sound like Anthony Bourdain - angry cynic.
7) Evernote is a phenominal app just start writing and it's on all the devices (soundin' nerdy).
8) Tomorrow is Saturday!
9) Admission: taking 12 hours of grad-school was a terrible idea. We're half way through the semester and it feels like I've done 2 back-to-back... Crap. (Mom was right.)
10) Went for a walk to my tree the other night. Something about sitting under a massive living thing makes one feel comforted.

Thankful Gratitude
I’m usually opposed to writing about trending topics, but this Thanksgiving I’m making exception cause writing about being thankful makes me more thankful.
So here they are (order has nothing to do here) some things I’m thankful for:
1. The new/focused job. I went from Elder to Deacon, From Community Pastor to Communication/Connection Pastor, and I’m stoked about this. Someday there’ll be a series of posts chronicling the exact reasons for this change.
2. Family. If you’ve met my family you know why I’m thankful for them, their odd, quirky and deeply in love with Jesus. Plus they all speak fluent sarcasm (well… my sister may not, but she’s becoming, “culturally relevant.”)
3. Literature. Dracula > me (I couldn’t do it, too scary for my lil self. And reading scury stuff before bed was not a good idea) The Three Musketeers = Amazing (so far).
4) Writing. Having a blog is dang therapeutic for me.
5) Scripture. Without it there is no message, there is nothing to proclaim. For in it we know of Jesus and his Gospel.
6) Music. Yes, Taylor Swift is a favorite of mine. Her words get to me. And she is seems to be a rather classy woman.
7) Words. Without them I have nothing to say, nothing to write and no way of relaying my deepest passions. Shoot, I couldn’t even say ‘hello.’ Which means I should watch how I use words.
8) Friends. Who listen and care. Who stand beside me and proclaim truth with me.
There was a thought recently, one, which has continued to reoccur in my mind. In this thought I am an old man sitting near a fire recounting the life I’ve lived. Thinking back and being able to say, ‘I’ve done that.’ Not from a proud perspective, but from a humbled view. To be unworthy of the capability of doing what was done.
But, I suppose, the catch should be this: in our thankfulness and in our doings there should be little obligation but much gratitude. For none of this is deserved. Because God rains down mercy, for now.

A List for Monday
1) I want to watch/read ALL The Lord of the Rings again (really, mostly this is an all-the-time feeling).
2) Twilight fans: watch this he has better reasons for not liking it than me.
3) "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes the only God?" John 5:44
4) As a single dude, I think being a loving father and loving one (1) woman for all of life is a thousand times more noble & honorable than gun fights, sword fights & church leading.
5) Thanksgiving! I will spend most of my days off reading this scary book... I have to read it when the sun is up.
6) I was bored half way through the latest Transformer movie. Like real bored.
7) New location for Journey the Way was *ahem* Saweet!
8) Literature is, for me, a gift of God to my over active mind.
9) I now have curtains at my house & if I do say so myself, they look wonderful. (I also steamed them to get the wrinkles out, does that make me odd?)
10) Coffee + pumkiny goodies with cream cheese iceing = heavenly.

Pre-Thanksgiving Thoughts:
1) We had Thanksgiving dinner at my community group last night.
2) Said dinner was wonderful & the 14lb bird was "decimated."
3) My house only holds so many people before it starts to feel like a sauna.
4) More turkey & stuffing next week? Yes, please.
5) Martin Luther is currently punching me in the face.
6) I think these are stupid cute.
7) The difference between Christianity & any other religion is Jesus. Read this.
8) NEEDTOBREATHE is always playing in my head.
9) Taylor Swift is usually right in the mix next to them (go ahead judge, I'm ok with it).
10) Coffee.
