2 kensington fires in the last 2 weeks
Current mood: good
another fire early yesterday morning killed more kensington residents, this time on jasper st. the word is that they were also heating their house with their stove, but who knows. one of the kids that died (hiep) was in brooke hoffman's class at penn treaty. it would seem like we should pay attention to these fires.
A long drink,
Not too much,
Was it too long a slumber,
But man, I feel good.

(Para Español marke dos)
Current mood: annoyed
so the first hours of the day have been pretty agro for me, anyway. this morning i couldn't find helena's one shoe and i was so frustrated. we were about to not go to preschool when martha found some pair of sandal-type things and we put them on her just so she could go. unbelievable.
i get my new printer today to go with my new pc, and apparantly i didn't order a usb cable for the printer (i sure thought i did). urrgghh. it seems like you can get a 10ft usb 2.0 cable for less than $35 at like any website besides radioshack and dell. what a hassle. most sites they are like $5.
big meeting today with someone who i really need to get some work done on this building.
show tonight at our space tonight..."Giving Chase, Our Time, Drawing Dead, Thru It All" (even danielle hunter never heard of these hardcore phenoms!). come and make some new friends.
The brooding of clouds,
To sit in the disquiet...
Can I stay longer?

"which building is the convention center?"
Current mood: happy
good lunch with a great friend today. faith is giving free haircuts to all sorts of people in the other room. we went to the reading terminal market, and in case you didn't know the flower show is going on.
riding my bike down there i had messenger flashbacks. we would always hate doing jobs anywhere near the convention center during the flower show because you were more likely to get killed or be walking through the convention center looking for some weird room.
i saw some of my old peeps running around. i'm glad i'm not doing that anymore, but honestly there are some things that i miss. warm days just before spring, riding around all day (or kickin' it in the park with your boys) makes you really welcome the season in. i have a new way to do that now, riding mad bikes needs to get in the mix.
Friend, perish the thought
That "one day i'll fly away"
In love i remain.

discernment
Current mood: tired
so much going on. i love it but you may catch me running around like a crazy person. i am trying to slow down in the midst of much. it's hard to not get dragged into it all while not being inactive. it's discernment to know whether the Spirit is leading us to move or if it's just people's "stuff" that prompts us to get busy. i want to be able to tell the difference.

in the flow
Current mood: cheerful
i realized last night that i had a really involved weekend. it was really meaningful, though, meeting with the cell leaders, baby goods exchange, and the PMs. it occured to me last week that i have been spending more time with my kids lately (i think i had a couple weeks in a row where i wasn't seeing them for but an hour a day). that rules. we made french toast together this morn.

i wish that i had the cold decision making power all year round that i do during Lent. it kind of makes me feel like i must be a terrible person if i can make so many changes for Jesus now that there is a season for it. what about the rest of the year?
without getting down on myself i'm gonna really go for it. when next season comes then i'll know better what i'm like when it's not Lent.
one person said that she was going to write a letter to a friend every day as a way to make room in her life for something else. that's pretty cool.
Want to sleep better?

ode to lancaster
Current mood: annoyed
Take a great small town
Put McMansions on the edge
And you get Lititz
every time i go to lancaster i love it a little more and hate it a little more. i don't write directions down anymore to go to certain places, and most days that works out fine. today, of course i don't write them down and after sleeping 11 of the hardest slept hours of my life i get lost going to manheim.
i mysteriously find my way to destination a few minutes late, the new way that i went (not the wrong way) took me through one of the cutest towns in the country. several of my friends grew up there. what the hell are people thinking putting expensive housing developments in rural lancaster county? it is the vomit. is nothing sacred? "let's go live on the edge of a really great place so that we can swoop in and consume its cuteness whenever we feel like leaving our development."
i can be such the old man with the cane yelling "get off my lawn!" at kids sometimes.

i am also a cinematographer
Current mood: sleepy
Taking care of old bills is like cleaning under your bed. you are kind of glad you did it because it helps you sleep at night, but there is still part of you that is like "i never go under there anyway." i just paid a bill that was almost 5 years old. one of those medical bills that is not filed correctly and then not communicated about properly and then years go by and now the only mistake is not clearing it up five years ago.
it is so annoying to shell out cash to thieves and feel like it's the best decision.
Thieves, they are trying
But what if we don't let them
All will be made new.
