Things.....
I think I can figure most people out pretty good. There are a few that trip me up everynow and then, but that's part of life. I know most people have a hard time figuring me out, but I kind of like it that way. There is the mysterious factor that intrigues people. Or bugs them. Or just downright makes them mad.
I am learning a little bit more about family. I have a really good family. But I am finding out family is who you make it to be, and how you treat them, and it is not just blood. Who do you choose as family?
I am ready for a new adventure. I was thinking about climbing Mt. St. Helens with a friend, but found out it is only a day hike to the rim. I want something a bit longer. Something that gets the adrenaline pumping. Something....
I struggle relationally with my peers. I think for the most part I don't care to be around large groups of people in their 20's. Small groups I can handle. Larger ones not so much. Younger people and older people I can deal with, but my age, no sir.
I think too often I am not aware of God in my everyday life. If God is always with me, then I probably should reckonize Him more often. Not necessarily to others, mind you, but I should honor Him in my own thoughts and prayers as One who is always with me.
Maybe the things in life that we think matter so much, really don't. Perhaps a good job, a good education, and a good life are only minor in the scheme of things. Perhaps....

ah, yes. i agree with most of the above. though i will settle for being in enough physical shape so that i can hike in the ozarks, thank you very much. no snow covered volcanos for me, sir.
i have also struggled relationally with my peers...my entire life. i'm not really sure why exactly...
and i wonder about the whole God is always with me...if i am at home...by myself...how am i honoring Him? it's a quandry.
on the other hand, i've never had a good job, i didn't attend college, and i feel that i am living a good life... some would disagree. i don't own a new car or even a house...but i have a roof over my head and something to take me places...a place to worship freely and space to think...
Mystery is ok for a time ... but I have found it doesn't help build my relationships much ...
hmm...I may venture to say..(although my knowledge of you is very limited) that you are a hard one to figure out, I'll give you that. I can climb a mountain (okay, hike up a hill) for a couple of hours and get worn out...but it's a darn fun adventure. And I would also say that a good job, education, and so forth are very minor and unnecessary for a good life. You provided lots of thoughts to bounce off so I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. So I just made ya richer!
To have a great adventure you don't need to be an adrenaline junkie in my opinion, life in itself is a great adventure if you allow it to be.
I'm with you on the whole peers thing, Frank makes fun of me at how well I can get along with kids or old people but when we go out with his friends the whole evening is an incredible challenge for me just to socialize. As far as I know Jenifer is the only girl my age who "gets me" and doesn't get offended by my sarcasm. Everyone else ends up thinking I'm stuck-up and witchy.
