Yawn, what a long day today was. I can’t believe that it’s almost two in the morning and I’m still up…and I haven’t even taken a shower yet. Grrrr, this journaling stuff. Well at least I get points for being somewhat disciplined and continuing to write even though I’m tired. Today started like almost every Sunday. Usually every Sunday my goal is to make it to church by the break and chat with people. Check, did that sort of. I…

First of all, since I am sure that today is the correct day, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!!! Okay, now that I have that out of the way, let’s begin shall we? So, why I like Saturdays: As I have mentioned, for those of you bothering to keep up, Saturdays during the fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I got to sleep in late even though Kanani called because she couldn’t find the trail that led to the…

Do you ever get the feeling like you’re one day behind or one day ahead? Today, I thought I’d do something nice like wish Derek a happy birthday. The problem, however, is that Derek’s birthday wasn’t today, it is tomorrow. I don’t know how I made such a grievous mistake. I mean, it’s on my Outlook calendar and my Yahoo calendar and even my Palm Pilot! Basically I have no excuse for not knowing exactly when Derek’s birthday is. So…

That’s pride [expletive] with you. [Expletive] pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps. That’s one of my favorite lines from the movie Pulp Fiction (although I have cleverly censored it lest I offend any of the two people that actually read my journal). Today I had lots of time to think about pride and how many times my own pride either gets me in trouble or keeps me from doing super fun things. I’ll give you a few examples so…

Wow what a day! My day started way too early today considering that I didn’t leave church last night until way after 12:30pm. We were working on our webpage last night because we had to get our bios up. Actually, I don’t think anyone else got their bios up but oh well, there’s something to be said about doing what you’re supposed to do and then doing it on time. Anyway, I thought every one was going to come to…

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” The Apostle Paul wrote these words to the church at Galatia almost two thousand years ago. It’s amazing how Biblical truths can completely withstand the test of time. Currently I am struggling heavily with this one. I know that God has a plan for me and that he will not give me more than I can handle, but sometimes I…

Whew, what a weekend! My Saturday started fairly early being that we were going on a hike. We were hiking to the Makapuu tide pools (which I had never done before) so I was kind of excited. When we first got to church there were only a handful of us raring to go (I think it was Dustin, Linda and me) but before long some others showed up which caused my spirits to rise even more. The morning got off…

I’ve decided that the problem with the world today is a serious lack of communication skills. Case in point, today I took my grandparents out to lunch at Yanagi Sushi on Kapiolani Ave. It’s a small Japanese restaurant with very limited parking. My grandfather has a hard time walking so the state has issued to him a handicapped parking pass. But of course by the time we get there the handicapped stalls are all gone. Now, Yanagi Sushi to their…

Ahhh Thursday. For me Thursday represents many things. For one thing it’s the last day of classes during the week which means I get to start my weekend early. It also means MiniChurch (which I love). And it means that I don’t have to wake up early the next day and I can spend more time journaling (or doing whatever). So today was a pretty normal day for me. I woke up and went to school. When I got to…

You know, I really love living in Hawaii. I mean there are many really great things about living here. We have two official state languages, our flag has the Union Jack in the corner and you can get Spam off a menu just about anywhere. But, why does it cost so much to ship things here? Of course, I know the answer…it’s because we’re so isolated from everywhere and we’re separated by a large body of water. And then there’s…
