Wow, almost two years to the date and time for a new entry. I hesitate writing much on here, but then again the only person that will read this is Michelle or John. So for starters, I finally figured out Michelle's secret to Word Twist- there's a twist button that rearranges the letters! Genius! (lol, I can be a lil slow)

The play is going rather well, and I'm actually confident now. For a while I kept asking people how I was doing and it was always just the canned answer of 'good.' Well, yesterday after talking to Jen and Theresa (stage manager and backstage manager) they actually gave me a real answer and it was rather encouraging. Going into the play I prayed about taking a part and decided to do it thinking that it was something I could do for the Lord. Well, I finally figured out why I thought that- God wanted to teach me something. It came as a slap in the face at first, but hey, if that's what it takes. With being in the play and all it was rough because I didn't actually know how I was doing. It was apparent to me that this was a pride issue and needed to be fixed. It was rather obvious one day when I was thinking to myself 'this isn't so fun now... I usually excel at what I do and I'm not excelling at this.' Bingo. I literally head my problem out loud. So after some adjustment of attitude things are better and I was really encouraged yesterday.

Went to be a little later last night than I would have liked. Got to sleep by 11:30. When I woke up this morning I wasn't feeling so great so I asked my mom if she would excuse me from and since I'm typically a good kid she didn't hesitate to say yes. So I went back to bed and woke up about an hour ago (8:30) but I had this reeeaaaly weird dream. It would be a novel in itself so I'll just do a quick summary. It came down to this point where there were clones of me on our porch and I was trying to convince my parents of this. It was actually really sad and made me almost cry when I had to fight with my parents in my dream to make them believe me. By this time the clones had started to turn to cats. Well, they didn't really turn to cats, the clones were leaving to go back to this science lab and as the new ones were being made on the porch they were more and more like cats. They were extremely fierce and making all sorts of noises outside the door so I decided to do something. Now that I'm awake I realize that we do have a gun in the house, but in my dream the best I could do was to throw a pop can through the window at them. Right before I was about to do that I saw out kitty door and decided to kick them first. This worked rather well, but as my foot went through the door and hit them, some of the others grabbed the door and held it open. Next thing I knew I was on the floor of the porch all bundled up and my shoulders felt tied. This feeling was actually the way I was sleeping and had my blanket wrapped around me. Like I said, it was a rather strange dream. Before all this happened I ended up at Michelle's house for some reason, then went over to an old friend's house then got to some sort of science lab where one of the physicists drove me home to drop me off. It was strange that after I went inside the headlights didn't leave. Somebody was there with me (don't know who) and commented that it was strange as well, so we stayed until they left. The headlights moved down the driveway then- stopped! After a few mins there was something moving under the bench on the porch and then got out from underneath and ran down the driveway to the physicist's car. This happened a few more time before I realized it was me, however each time it was less and less like me. That's when everything above with fighting with the parents started happening.

So, ya, I decided to tell the whole thing. Strange huh? Comments please. (to the two of you, lol)

If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.

Also, another interesting thought. What if like there were actually like 2 planet earth's or even two galaxies, and like you only lived on one, and on the other there was like a dummy or robot of you. So, you interacted on both planets, but it only seemed like one. You wouldn' treally know what one you were on, or who was on the same one as you, because all the sensory information (hearing, vision, etc.) was relayed to the real you. Interesting huh?

Oh yeah, why not throw in a verse for today.

Luke 6:32
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
