oops..
Quotes for today:
How many lives per gallon? - Popular anti-war protest sign

Here in America we are descended in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. - President Dwight Eisenhower

Those of us who care for the direction of the American dream have one job now to do, and that is to begin working toward that election day in November of next year. - Dorris Haddock, also known as Granny D

Yes, overall my weekend was really great! Friday night we went dancing - was fun – one friend drank too much but that was not bad just really funny! Saturday I went to driving school and it wasn't too bad as my instructor's life was full of miraculous events – he thought he was teaching me about driving but instead was teaching me about the beautiful hand of God! Then I went to the church Sarah and Lisa are leading worship for every other week and that was sweet but strange to be in the old format of worship, announcements, teaching from one man for far too long, then an offering (where I was presented with a 'new' person card to fill out and we all know it will be only a couple of days before I get propaganda in the mail) and then the closing prayers... I like to find God everywhere! Even in the old format of church so that was cool and cooler yet were the songs I heard in this pastor man’s teaching… Here’s the part where the reader gets to name that tune or the singer/songwriter:
- Lust for life
- Sliver Spoon and a paper plate
- Walking on broken glass
Proof once again that God and music are everywhere – even in over taught sermons…

Then I talked to one of my favorite people on earth! It was a very unexpected two-hour phone call with an x-boyfriend! It was beautiful and such a hope/faith booster - he's doing very well and making great choices... my prayers are being heard! I can’t express how amazing it is to talk to someone who gets things the way I do – or someone who not only loves things about me but understands why I love them. I hope everyone in life has people like this around them. Then of course I had to go over to Jodi and Candice’s apartment to tell them all about the phone call!

Sunday I forgot about daylight savings and got to San Clemente to late to help my mother set up for her craft fair but she bought me breakfast anyways! I am loved! Then I spent a glorious hour and a half at the Dana Point harbor - journaling, praying, breathing, sleeping, enjoying watching the families, getting wind kisses from God... Then I went home and began and complete four art projects! That is no small feet... I usually have a hard time beginning one let alone completing one! My phone call the night before was just so inspiring! Then I was flaked on but it turned out ok cause I got to have dinner and watch Shag, the White Stripes Video's and a Tori Amos Video with Jodi and Candice.

Was very unexpected weekend all around! What a blessing! Just wish I knew what I was doing with my life… but that’s ok… if every weekend were like this…
