The end of summer always makes me a little wistful. This summer draws to a close with me feeling a little frightened and unsure. Tomorrow classes start back, but I am not starting again. Don’t get me wrong, I am VERY glad to be finished with school, but I feel a little uncertain about what comes next. Finding a job seems overwhelming. I know that is the next step in life though.

Brenton, Alex and I went to books a million tonight. It was the last night for not-required-reading. I treated them to coffee. It was like the last supper, we fellowshiped over coffee (well, Al had a hot chocolate and Brenton had a fruit smoothie). Then we broke bread (Okay, so the bread looked a lot like rice krispy treats). On a side note, I think Manna tasted a lot like rice krispy treats. I love those things.

Do you ever wonder if the Manna in the Ark of the Covenant has rotted yet? I mean the Israelites were commanded to put it there so that they would remember God’s provision–that plan didn’t work so well. Do you think God has preserved it all these years? If He did, what do you think would happen if the Ark was ever found and someone taste tested the manna. Interesting to think about.

Perhaps one of the hardest things for me to deal with now is being on campus, but not in school. Everybody else is gearing up for tomorrow and I am waiting for my social security card to come in.

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know what I’m feeling or thinking. I am still trying to sort all that out.

I was you…

I was driving on the loop Monday evening. I had been out shopping all day and I was starved. I pulled up to a red light and in the turning lane there was a big Ford f-250 extended cab. I looked over and there was a teenage chick driving. Her hair pulled up in a pony tail, her shirt sleeves rolled up. The windows on her truck were down and the music was up. “Bubba Shot the Jukebox”. Her music was loud–almost loud enough to drown out her singing. There she was, singing at the top of her lungs–off key no less. As she yelled out, “RECKLESS! HELL! I HIT JUST WHERE I WAS AIMING” I wanted to sing with her. Man! I love that song.

As I sat and waited for the redlight to turn to green I smiled in understanding. I know that girl and she is me.
