You won't believe this...

So if you read my blog, you know about the fish, the rock, and the smashed head...(see yesterday's blog). Well today a shocking similar experience happened to me. I was at school helping the set up of the after prom party that the school hosts. I get service hours in doing this. One of the ladies that was in charge asked if I would help her move a couch from a classroom into the cafeteria. Two other guys and myself went into this room, picked up this couch, and watched as four mice ran out from under the couch. The lady screamed...us guys smiled really big. One of the guys picked up a yardstick and started swinging. I, however, knew that it was unlikely to hit a small mouse with a yardstick so I picked up a 2004 yearbook off of a nearby shelf. After picking up said yearbook, I watched as one mouse that hadn't already gone back under the couch continued running....then SLAM. The mouse's screeching stoped... and there was blood on the yearbook....mission accomplished. Now usually things like this don't happen to me. It has been an eventful week.

I am doing a stock market project in Economics class and I have stock in a few companies. But the one that is hurting me the worst is Starbucks. It has been going down for days. So...I need everyone's help. TODAY, go to Starbucks at least once. You will be helping me to get an A.

....I wish it were that easy to make stock go up, I'd be a millionaire.

Someone is either walking in the flesh or they are walking by the Spirit. When you(when I say you, I mean I) let trivial, meaningless things catch your attention, you are no longer walking by the spirit. However, "healthy" these trivial pursuits might be, if they are causing you to put them ahead of God...it's sin. Whether it is school, relationships, money, or whatever you may be dwelling in or on...it isn't glorifying to God. Notice that school, relationships, and money are all good things when put into perspective. It doesn't take things like selfishness, anger, or self-pitty to be walking in the flesh...however those don't help.

I don't write about serious, real life stuff, like this, much anymore because I have noticed that whenever I'm being honest and sincere no one comments. But here it is...I'll try to hold off on the next un-mindless blogging for a while.

The beauty of TAKS week continues. The past two morning I have gone fishing at Grapevine lake with some friends. Jack put one of his fish in a plastic bag and then left it in his car the rest of the day yesterday. And then today, he decided to keep another fish, put it in a plastic bag (without water), and the fish was pretty much without the ability to breathe for TWO hours. When we took it out of the car it was still alive. So we had to do the only humane thing...put it out of it's misery. I took a large rock the size of my head or so and dropped it on the fish's head. STILL ALIVE. This fish was a fighter. So I slammed the rock onto the fish's head again. It was over...

This week is going to be awesome. First of all Seniors get to arrive late at school everyday at 11:30. And then on Saturday we have prom...which I'm not stressed out about this year, because in the words of some unknown person, "I'm not in control of the situation." So I am going to show up and have a great time.

OK. For the first time it is really feeling like late April. It's not the weather, it's not the advertisements for season finales of TV shows, but it's school. I go to school everyday and hear teachers talk about "end of school" stuff like caps and gowns for graduation, or our senior T-shirts. It will be May in like 11 days.

We had our first Mexico mission trip meeting today. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am. This is my favorite trip in the world.....SO EXCITED!

My mom is making good pie for dessert today...mmmm....(trust me, it needed to be said)

Sometimes things are so different that they are refreshing...
