4 years.
13 roommates.
Forced out of one room, left one, invited into two others, lost one to marriage, and 3 to graduation.
1 month:
4 different housing discussions.
4 housing arrangements falling through.
friends who are no help - some because they can't be.
No place to live is not exciting - it's annoying, sad, and a little worrisome... I guess I'm just not one of those people that one lives with - I don't know completely why... But y'all didn't come here to read sappy nonsense... I you have a place to live for about 9 months in Jackson, please let me know - I need it come the end of August. Comment or something, I guess...

Because Julie posted...
This is my last day off from work.
I took it because I had to finish cleaning the room/house from where the Canine Agent of Destruction had visited her wrath (and her poo) upon all of my things while I was gone to Memphis on a mission trip.
Bleah.
Tomorrow, I will go back to AFLAC mode, thinking about insurance, etc., but today, this afternoon, and tonight, I will be going to church, reading a bit, blogging, and writing music.
I'm setting the texts of old hymns to new tunes for a set for my voice teacher to sing (hopefully) on required faculty recital in September. I REALLY hope that I can finish them!!
Anyway, I'm kinda feeling a little left out lately with weddings 'n' stuff...
Everyone always asks me to play, and no one asks me to be in the actual wedding. I guess I'm just not friends with folks that way, but it annoys me that I can't seem to be anyone's close friend - although, I might be already, and just not know it... hmmm... Is there a particular way close friendship looks? Or am I just asking for the moon?
In other news,
On this mission trip to Memphis, I was reminded about why I had stayed here in Jackson rather than trying to go direct to grad school or anything: It was for the folks in the youth group. I particularly enjoy being around them (even though they often drive me absolutely crazy), and I really want to help the guys grow into men of God. They have amazing potential, and it's a great privilege to work with and be around them. The time with them in Memphis helped me remember that.
Lord, bless the youth of Northbrook. Let them grow in love and passion for You so that the rest of their lives are lived for Your Glory. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
I know it's weird to pray in the middle of a blog, but hey, I'm weird, too...
If any church member (of ANY church) reads this, PLEASE do me a favor: Pray for the youth of your church. The young men in particular. They have the potential to grow up into husbands and fathers that can change our world for the better by living for Jesus. Pray that they will learn how to live as men of God, that they will be faithful to their wives, even when they are being emotionally destroyed, and that they will love Jesus and their families first.
I ask it as a personal favor that you pray this.
