we haven't talked to each other for about 3 weeks now. i have been stressed and i normally close off from the world to say the least when i'm stressed. not a good trait, but hey we all have things that aren't quo say "healthy".
so he showed up out of no where to see me. now grant it, my stress i wouldn't call it as something leading me to things being bad. i think i've come along way dealing with stress but i'm a failure from time to time.
so he came and we actually didn't fight(we actually don't fight anymore, but anymore the minute confliction comes, i'm ready to go on the offensive because i prefer to protect myself than to deal with pointless confrontations that are just mere overly emotional nonsense). i've noticed how blantantly blunt and crass i've become. i calmed that down and it went really well.
well he gave me a copy of the new testament. i liked how he called it. it's his planner. i love his honesty. "i may not get them all done, but i keep it with me not to be a pious man, but to just have it there as a reminder that of what i should be doing instead of what i do at times." he asked me if i read my Bible anymore, and i said no. well he said, just take it and do what you want with it, but i like the idea he applies the Bible to. him and i even share the same concerns with the Gospel...meaning that we hope there is power in the Gospel. ironically enough i have come to grisp with my own faith that i've lost it and the only parts that are left is how am i to live my life in this life instead of all the mythological tales that have lost all its meaning to me.
so i won't say it is something to save whatever faith is lost, or going away but it is nice to have that from my father to just keep seeking God and in the sense still seeking God in the Gospels.
so i do praise the Divine/God for this today. besides hanging out with my friend and playing golf and picking up two fantastic albums and a new golf club, this made the day. blessings to all!

I would like to thank God that my brother was able to get financial aid and go back to college. He's enjoying his classes, working hard, and feels very positive about the future. I am grateful He has given me a wonderful brother and a best friend.
