A Few Random Things

Sometimes I wish people would have a little more patience with me. I know I'm difficult. and a large part of that is my personality and how I process things. It takes a bit of time for my mind to accept change. And I feel life deeply and passionately, and how that displays itself and affects you can be kinda annoying I guess. But sometimes I wish people would have the patience to know each other, so then we can understand each other and work together. I'll do anything I can to meet you where you are, if you give me a chance to figure out how best to do that. If I don't know how function or communicate or process, etc., then it's hard for me to meet you where you're at. And vice versa. Make sense? I wish we'd take the time to understand each other and why we are the way we are. Maybe we'd have a little more grace. Maybe then we'd start to reflect Christ better.

I've gained 40 lbs. since high school. All of it in my face.
I was going through some stuff in my storage unit on Sunday and found a paper that said I weighed 118 lbs. as a freshman in college. I now weigh 160 lbs. I'd love to claim that all as muscle, but most of it is this giant face I'm carrying around! haha! how do you even lose face weight? weird. and on a related random note, I was at gym the yesterday, resting between sets, and a huge guy came right up to me and said, "You're getting bigger" and I looked at him and said "Thank you!" then I paused in case he wanted to say anything, like why he'd randomly said that. But he didn't say anything else, so I said "I really appreciate that!" and he walked away. Maybe he just recognized me from the gym. I've seen him around. and if you go every day, you kinda recognize the regulars. so that's probably why. or maybe he saw that i was about to pass out and wanted to encourage me and give me a reason to live.

I think I'll go to Founder's Week when they finally get Chandler to come. However, I'm not sure Moody will ever be that bold. Though...they have had James McDonald in the past, and Francis Chan is speaking this year. And they certainly aren't stogey old koots, so maybe there's hope! If they get Matt, I'll visit ole chicagy again.
