Well, I'm here to tell you. Who am I? I am a close friend who often sports a big diamond surrounded by two saphires. This boy gave it to me out of the blue one day.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;

An Article by Fred Reed
The other days I was reading G. Gordon Liddy's book of conservative nostalgia, When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country. He paints a sunset picture of former times when America was free, farmers could fill in swamps without violating wetland laws, and guns were just guns.

Just seems to be one blow after another. I know God wants to teach me some lessons, but all at once!!! Yeah, life sucks, and it's wonderful, all at once.

My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-- a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

It's been a while! Last weekend was wonderful. I got to see Sunny. :-) She was able to get an evening off from Camp, so since Al (awesome roomie!!) was going to TN, I tagged along and then drove the rest of the way to see my my girlfriend.

One of our auto society members, a fellow student, and a fairly good friend passed away after spending several days on life support. He would have been 23 today. From what I hear he was at work and inhaled some industrial fumes.

My Kimber Tactical Custom II just came in to the gun dealer! For those of you who don't know, that is a 1911 type automatic pistol. I have had the firearm bug for a while now, (since I was like... two?) but was able to resist up until last month. :-) My brother Nick and I seem to egg each other on.

Three vehicle burglaries last night, at right around 4:15 AM. That makes nine within the past two weeks, for a total of 8 broken windows, 7 stolen radios, a wallet, keys, and a cell phone missing. Ah yes, and one cancelled checkbook. I dearly hope that whoever took it will try to use it, and end up doing some serious time.

Sometimes it seems that apathy has a way of just sneaking up and jumping onto your back, and sinking its claws into your neck until you feel too worn out to even fight it, much less do anything else.
