Welcome to Randomville

Howdy, folks! This is gonna be another one of my "random things I'm thinking about" posts, so hang on for the ride. First of the things that I'm currently pondering over is whether the fact that I've named my new car is pathetic or not. My excitement over it is highly excusable-after being forced to drive the USS POS for a year or so, I was finally able to buy a 1997 Ford Escort, a beautiful shade of green. It has mirrors, a roomy trunk, and CUP HOLDERS!!!!!!! Anyway, due to my complete and total obsession with Ireland, I've decided to name it "Orran", which is the Gaelic word for green. I found it appropriate, but is it pathetic? Next, I keep thinking about something I saw the other day as I was driving home. It was a bird, possibly a hawk, and it was really high up in the air. The thing that hit me about this, is the fact that it just had its wings spread out. It never flapped its wings, or attempted to go anywhere specific. It just allowed the wind to take it where it would, and just followed its directions. What a great parallel for what our lives should be, I thought. We should allow God to take us wherever He wants to, without us fighting against His will. Even when we have no clue what the ultimate end to our journey is, its best to try and trust God. Easier said than done, I know. I, personally, would like to know where the end will be. But as a character said in one of my favorites movies *cough cough the 2nd Mummy movie cough cough* "Only the journey is written, not the destination. Finally, I find myself wondering what's so darn attractive about the HALO games that causes boys to get sucked in????? And why did they make Lex Luther so darn likeable in "Smallville" when they're just gonna make him evil? That seems so mean to me. And why does Jorja Fox have to leave CSI, when it's doing so well??? You will now be returned to your usual programing, devoid of my aimless wonderings. Blessings!

Hiya, Katie! No, it's not pathetic. I named my car, too! If it is pathetic, we can be so together! Good name, too! Better than the one I named mine, anyway.

Why am I not surprised that you find the teaching of God in everything you see? Truly, quite the inspiration. It makes me wonder where I can find MY next lesson.

And as far as wanting to know the road ahead? Welcome to my world, sister. Been like that my whole life.

Ok, as for games like HALO...what red-blooded guy on Earth DOESN'T want to be the hero?! That's what makes these games so popular! Every boy on the planet would give their pinkie toes and more for a chance to be him!

Lex Luthor is friendly...well, ok, I can't help much with that one, but I imagine it's to give a depth to Clark and Lex that the original movies never even dreamed of before.

::sigh:: Ah, Jorja Fox... I'm with you. She shouldn't leave.

God bless!
