I'm ready

Another day, another blog.

Some things I've learned by living on my own:

1. It pays to learn how to cook. (Man truly can not live on bread alone)
2. Having to do laundry with quarters is no fun.
3. Its not polite to blast your stereo in an apartment.
4. Its also not polite to jump up and down while living in an upstairs apartment.
5. Fruit doesn't last nearly as long as it should.
6. There's no dress code.
7. Its boring.
8. I have sole control of my domain.

So yeah.

Something came up today that is astronomically huge! There is an organization in the Assemblies of God called Speed The Light. It is a program that funds missionaries needs for transportation and speaking equipment such as portable pa systems, projectors, etc. Every year, the youth of the A/G pledge an amount to STL and have fundraisers to meet that goal. Now to the cool part.

A man in one of the local churches son is adamant about having faith in God (Imagine that!) and is dead serious about doing something extraordinary to reach the pledge and beyond. His idea? To WALK to Springfield, Missouri, where the headquarters of Speed The Light are, and raise money along the way. Wow! That is 475 miles! The funny part? I'm thinking of joining him!

Why not? What do I have to lose except weight? I congratulate him in his blind faith in God and hope that I can have such.
