@Dan, ok so I understand your sentiments..to a certain degree BUT to which I am referring has a different name and a different purpose entirely It’s called faith booking and pretty much it can be a glorified photo album with all the extra stuff without all the pretty extras….or you can make it manly too BUT i don’t really see that happening But really ask your mom!

Welcome to adulthood. It’s not too bad most of the time but every once in a while you’ll think back and remember those great times you had when you were younger. Then if you continue thinking you’ll realize that the great times you’re having now are just as good. They’re different experiences with different people and much different sorts of responsibility but they’re still good.

Also, Yaxmi Gupta was perhaps the worst teacher of all time. Actually I can’t say that, I dropped his class after 2 days and it was because I couldn’t understand a word he said…so who knows if I could have understood him maybe he would have been a great teacher (hint: I doubt it).

Hahaha it sounds like you are in serious need of like 20 scrapbooks BUT your mom can help you out with that!

Some of those thing are really good to remember so don’t go throwing them all away Use them to kind of Chronicle your faith journey I mean if the funeral notice was of someone you didn’t know toss it BUT if it was something that made you grow in your faith or encouraged you that keep it and seriously have your mom help you. It will be good to show your kids or the bratty neighbors what brought you to where you are today.
Testimonies and so on are the best ways to share ones faith because it can bring it right home to what others are experiencing.

Well, just thanks! I have prided myself on how well I am handling all this moving and marriage stuff, and you had to go and write that! Lots of chuckles mixed in with those tears of already missing my youngest son. Although it does make it easier knowing that the build up of boogers will finally come to an end. Or maybe just transfer to another location several miles away. Love you always, D.

@ZePuKa, why thank you. My Written Argument teacher at RIT made the comment that my writings are best when they are stream-of-consciousness. I took that as an excuse to not edit myself.

Your “Requiem for Carefree Youth” made me a little sad as I consider my own relentless journey into the realities of adulthood. I’m glad you ended on a positive note though–there’s so much to look forward to! I raise my glass of skim milk and say “Here’s to the rest of our lives!”

There’s no denying you’re a real adult when you have a mortgage. I almost had a breakdown when I realized that. It was worse than getting a “real” job.

I still have notes from youth seminars and camp chapels too…only recently have I started throwing out homework.
