lessons learned


arm wrestle

Lessons learned this past week. . . (starting with the less serious).

1. Do not arm wrestle a guy named "Pedro" at a pizza shop. Actually I was pressured into it, but now looking at the picture it seems that he enjoyed it a little too much. Afterward I thoroughly washed the hands. . . eeww gross!

2. Do not allow someone (aka Nathan) to take your shoe and throw it out his car window in the middle of traffic on Broad Street.

3. Do not go see Talledega Nights. . . trust me!

4. On the more serious side. . . be thankful for your friends that God has given you. I am so thankful for the friends God has given me. There were times the past few months where I felt alone, but God was always there and He brought unexpected friends into my life to encourage me.

5. Pray for your friends, even when things are not stressed or strained. It's easy to pray when things are difficult, but we often forget to pray for others when life is calm. I have been blessed with friends who are there to pray for me and I am thankful that God brings them to mind to pray for them.

when i first looked at that picture i thought it was a girl. whoa! anyway - that is pretty gross and he does look like he enjoyed it a little much. but hey what would a blog be without those kind of experiences.
