Traffic Lights


"Today I thought of when my old best friend and I was sitting at this traffic light that was taking forever to change to green. We were being silly and started yelling at the light. The people in the car next to us ended up joining in our yelling match. The memory of it and sharing that moment with complete strangers LMS :)"

Crab Head


" I went crabbing with my family, which pretty much just involves a bag full of rocks and fish tied to a string thrown to crabs. We would throw the bags out and wait for the crabs to latch on, then pull them in (my brother is always saying that he catches the most, and only the big ones). My cousin ended up throwing the bag too high and not far enough, so while I wasn't looking, it landed on my head. Yes, it hurts to have a bag of rocks dropped on my head, but we all had a little laugh about that later (even with the bruise on my head and my hair smelling like fish). Time with family really LMS. And my uncle caught it on video... (: "

Unexpected Phone Call

" I was working on my paper today when my phone starting ringing. It was my uncle, one that I'm fond of but not particularly close to. He asked me about how I was doing and how school was going, and as I answered him. I kept waiting for him to "get to the reason why he was calling." Finally he said, 'Well okay, I just wanted to call to check up on you. Hang in there,' and hung up. Unexpected people who call just because they genuinely care LMS. Like this --> ^__________^ "

Discovering Others


" When I walked into Creation Fest 2010, I wanted to feed the animals in the little petting zoo. I blurted, 'Man I wish I had a quarter,' out loud, and a cute Asian girl from behind yelled out, 'I have one,' and walked over to me. We introduced ourselves, and she told me it was comforting to know there are more Asian Christians out there. She LMS for the rest of Creation Fest and now!(: "
