My attitude lately on my thumb…
Well I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately (err, that sounds redundant, doesn’t it?). And I thought this about my situation:
Why am I being so stubborn and am almost to the point of giving up? I mean I didn’t lead worship this past Sunday, because I couldn’t play guitar. I didn’t lead worship today at fellowship, cuz of my thumb as well. But so what if I can’t play guitar? I remember a few years back, when I first felt the calling to do worship the rest of my life. I had felt so strongly about leading worship, that I once said that even if I lost both of my arms, and couldn’t play guitar anymore, I would still want to lead worship, and I would do it with a kazoo. (This was in a conversation with a fellow journey-man Elisa Yi of AACF@UCDavis) What happened to those days? Why does it seem like I’ve given up on my dreams of leading worship….
Now I haven’t necessarily given up my dreams of leading worship. This weekend actually I was sharing a little about that with a gentleman by the name of Matt Wagner. He was in town with his newly married wife, and our church’s previous Youth Pastor, Dawn Dais (Well now Dawn Wager). Anyways, he was going around the table of the restaurant and asking us what our Kingdom Dream was. Mine is something along the lines of worship. I told him that I knew my calling was to lead worship, and I plan to continue doing that for awhile. Now I’m not sure if God will have me just do things at the corporate level of churches for the rest of my life, but I did tell Matt that my ultimate dream would be to move out to Atlanta, GA and be involved with 722 and Passion out there in Georgia.
Life’s pretty different out there, and I got a big glimps of that when I was out there visiting in April. I said I was going to post some journal entries from that trip, but I never did….If I can find that folder again, I should, hehe. Ok, nuff said, I’m really tired today. g’nite
current mood: tired
Ow!
Bleh, I sprained my left thumb. It hurts. yeah….
Ok, back story. Saturday was our churches picnic. We played some softball. I felt pretty confident with playing since I was doing catch with a baseball just a bit early in the day, and was doing well. I haven’t really played baseball almost at all. I was scared…
Now to fully understand that we have to go back about…16 years or so. It happened when I was young, probably 6 or 7 or 8, or something like that. I was at Yosemite with my family, and their family friends. Anyways, one of those days, I was doing catch with one of my parents friends (Uncle Mike). He threw the ball to me, and it hit me right in the mouth, and out came my two front teeth (they were loose already). I cried and cried, and finally shut up when one of the other parents bribed me with $2. (hah, you can make kids happy with $2….now it’s probably $10 with inflattion, haha). So yeah, I was scared to play baseball for awhile….
Going back to the story, I was doing pretty well with catching, and had some fun with throwing and catching. So when the time came to play softball, I was like, alright, I can do this! We picked teams, and I was batting after the lil girls, hah (cuz they wouldn’t strike out/tag out lil girls). LOL. First time on base, I get a good hit to mid-center field. It was a pop-up, but no one got under it. It was a good hit! Now mind you, I’ve never really hit well before. Heck, I was still doing a golf swing (bringing up my right foot, which is supposed to be planted…I still don’t understand…). So yeah, 2nd at bat, I hit it again pretty well. 3rd inning as I take the field, we do some warm-up catching in the outfield (I was playing left). I get the ball thrown to me and I catch it bad. Bleh, thumb is sprained. nuff said…it’s yecky. made my hand kinda swollen (which is still is swollen). And I can’t bend my thumb in too much.
So yeah, if you have time and remember me when you’re praying, please do pray for my hand. I would really enjoy a quick recovery. I have lots of things to do, and guitars to play and the like…=(

One day to change the world….
Agent Jack Bauer has 24 hours to stop an assassination attempt on a presidential canidate….but everything that can go wrong, is going wrong….
This is the big secret I had! I bought Season One of the hit Fox show, 24, yesterday at Costco. It was just 40$! That’s less than 8$ a cd! That’s 2$ an episode! whoooo. Anyways…yeah…
I can’t say enough about this series. It’s spectactular! I’ve only watched about 3 or 4 episodes so far, but they’re great, and keeps ya hanging on to your seat in anticipation on what’s going to happen next. The whole show is done in a weird format, where it takes place in “Real Time.” None of this Big Brother kinda hokey stuff where they skip time and everything. Every minute counts. Each episode is an hour of the same day in the life of Jack Bauer. The show starts at 12am, where Jack gets called in to help stop an assassination attempt on a presidential canidate. He is told that the hit has been ordered from someone within the company he works for. If things couldn’t get any worse, his daughter ends up missing while sneaking out in the first episode, throwing his home life into a ruckus…and it all goes down hill for Jack from there….
I simply love it! Go watch it! Borrow it from me when I’m done (BUT I WILL GET THEM BACK FROM YOU, OR ELSE!!) It’ll be a couple of weeks atleast till I see all the episodes…Now I wish I had a TV so I could watch Season Two!
current mood: crazed
Sleeeeeeep….
Ok, so I sorta stole the idea for my image from Lloyd’s webpage. He has a buncha cool look images, and I wanted mine to look sorta like them, so I took the basic ideas he used for it. Blur out the background a lil. Put some words overlayed in an opaqued layer. Use the burn tool a lot. And viola! It looked cool eh? Well visit www.jackenigma.com some time to see where I got the inspiration for it. Not sure exact how I want my webpage anymore….I guess I’ll work on it sometime soon. dunno when though.
Ok, time to go off to dream land….*snooore*
