Random Thoughts – 33

1. This time of year in Texas makes me crazy. Heater on the way to work. AC after lunch.

2. Just spent two hours renewing my drivers license. I can honestly say that I enjoy my dentist more than the DMV.

3. “Holy is the Lord. Holy is the Lord. In the Lord I will obey. Lord help me I don’t know the way.”

-Andrew Peterson, Love and Thunder

4. Time > Money

5. “IF THE POINT of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation.”

–Donald Miller, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years (Amazon)

1. Donut people. For the love of everything. If ANY of the donuts I order have frosting on them, you do not put my entire order in a paper sack. If a donut with frosting is part of the order, you use a box so that each donut is laying flat on the bottom of the box. When I get home, all the frosting from my daughter’s pink donut should not be stuck to the bottom of my glaze one.

2. Most nights, it is near impossible to turn my mind off and go to bed.

3. That moment when an adult escort from California starts following you on Twitter.

4. “I was watching the movie Star Wars recently and wondered what made that movie so good. Of course, there are a thousand reasons. But I also noticed that if I paused the DVD on any frame, I could point toward any major character and say exactly what that person wanted. No character had a vague ambition. It made me wonder if the reasons our lives seem so muddled is because we keep walking into scenes in which we, along with the people around us, have no clear idea what we want.”

-Donald Miller, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years (Amazon)

 5. Past a certain point, getting older is weird.
