Right now I'm sitting in a Starbucks at 10 o'clock in the morning when I should, by society's conventions, be at work. I've been here for about an hour and a half just killing time while Reed, (whom from this point on shall be referred to only as Big Cat) meets with a dude from family camp. They are probably talking about grown up stuff- how often they shave, CNN, and golf shoes. I began my time at the Starbucks on Woodway Dr. with a slice of pumpkin bread and berry Naked Juice- which was lovely. I know, but I already had coffee on the drive to Houston with Big Cat. I then read My Utmost for His Highest which is a daily devotional that ceaselessly points out how I stink as a human being and disciple of God... but I honestly need that in my life. I have (all joking to the right) really enjoyed it. Then, I read 1 Peter 3. Lately I have been trying to study the Bible more instead of just reading it. It definitely takes more time and discipline, but has been very rewarding. I read today that we must always be "ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence" 1 Peter 3:15. So, we must 1. live in a way that makes the "hope that is in you" obvious to others, 2. be ready to stand up boldly for our faith and share with others where our hope comes from, and 3. Do it nicely. Good, convicting stuff.
After reading, I got bored and resorted to people watching. I wonder if the people I'm watching right now have any idea that I am in fact writing about them. Like the girl sitting across from me who is applying for a job. Or the friendly barista who calls everyone babe or sweetie. That's not creepy, right?
Anyway, I don't have much more to say, but Kayla, my incredibly attractive, soft girlfriend, says all good blogs have pictures. I would agree. However, I don't have any pictures that go with this post; so instead, here is a picture of me dunking a basketball. I promise that not all of my posts will be this random.
