baby's blue balloon

i have a balloon.

got it for my birthday.

its blue, and i got creative and drew black stripes on it with a magic marker one day.

i bounce the balloon, i spin the balloon, i balance the balloon, and occassionaly i chew on the balloon.

and they pay me to do this.

have i mentioned that i hate my job?

anyway.

i never did get called on monday night. then i knew for sure that she was blowing me off. so i decided to let it go.

in one last ditch effort i asked mandy to talk to her tuesday night at dance.

she told her that she wasnt trying to blow me off. she also said that she liked her present and tried to call me that night, but fell asleep with the phone in her hands, apparantly still on.

a likely story, but i believe it.

i talked to her last night.

whats that you say?

its true. we talked for a good thirty minutes. i was shocked myself. nothing monumental, just the usual stuff.

it was really good to talk to her again though. it made me feel good inside. warm fuzzies i guess you might say.

the young senorita even asked me to call her again tonight, and i think i just might. we might work something out yet.

anyway.

spiritual warfare is a very powerful and new thing to me. its unlike anything that i have ever experienced, and i dont know if i am really prepared.

i know that i am experiencing it more now than ever because i am closer to God right now than i have ever been. a paradox of sorts.

i've been wanting to read the left behind series of books, but i didnt want to be deceived as to what was real and what was fiction. so, i read the book of revelation first.

all of my life, i have looked at the book of revelation as a book of fear and confusion and mystical creatures, when its not that at all. while small parts tend to be a bit confusing, the majority of it is quite simple to understand if you get the symbolism. the only people that should be afraid of the book of revelation are non-believers. for the rest of us, its a book of hope.

everyone should read it. its not something to be afraid of, its something to be joyful about knowing that our God is going to triumph over satan.
