Trinitarianism

Systematics 3: Ecclessiology and Escatology (church and last things) was my choice of education this summer. One concept running throughout every word is a Trinitarian theology understanding relationship and community demonstated by God as three and one.

I was introduced to a song a few months ago which has left me many nights sleepless. I think these lyrics are a great reflection of our Triune God.

Surprise?

Wow I can't believe this but is there any surprise Manny Ramirez was just suspended for using performance enhancing drugs?...no. And he wonders why no one wants him to play for their team.

I'm not in Orange County any more

I was having a normal day like most I woke up, worked out, showered, ate breakfast, and read the news. Nothing out of the ordinary and in fact I was enjoying my day.

But as I headed off to school things took a drastic turn. I left my house intending to walk in the sun. On the side of the street I was walking there was man and woman sitting in a car. I saw the man get out without a shirt and open his trunk looking for something. This is no uncommon especially on a hot day like this, but what I saw next shocked me.

The passenger door opened and the woman started to step out. I am not sure if she was disoriented or just did not care but she was not wearing pants or underwear. I was shocked and so embarrassed I almost starting running past the car. What blows me away is she neither seemed slightly embarrassed by my presence or made any attempt to hide herself.

I am not sure what it is about Pasadena but something is a little off here. In my short amount of time I have seen more strange things than the rest of my life combined. I'm definitely not in OC anymore.

Airline vs. Overly Fat People



Should people lose weight or should the airlines make their seats larger? I am leaving for the gym right now...

Since I have left Orange County

The Good:
Soccer any time. Soccer field across the street from my house.

Don't have to sit in traffic on the 210, 57, or 5 going to school and back. Shot this walking home the other day 7 lanes of traffic still was getting backed up.

The Different:Homeless everywhere

The Bad:
I miss everyone
