Oh, we live in but a shadow of the real.

Today was good. I feel like I was very productive in getting everything finished.

I finally gave my speech this morning. It was a lot of fun and the professor gave me an A. David spoke as well, and he did very well. It was overall I think a relatively satisfying outcome for both of us.

It was nice getting to chill with him for a good portion of the day. We had some good fun.

Math and OT were business as normal.

Halo 3 is a lot of fun.

Girl's soccer games can be not entertaining.

Juice stop is yummy.

Taco Bell is yummy.

Pizza Hut's breadsticks are yummy.

Jamming is fun. It definitely is funny how little can get done in 4 hours, but how much fun can ensue.

Dodgeball is fun. I got to play with Off in the Woods this evening. It was great fun. We owned.

I enjoy sports and drumming and friends.

I'm looking forward to the volleyball game tomorrow.

I guess I'm writing like this because I'm really tired.

I'm sort of excited for swimming tomorrow. Weird.

I want to get up earlier so that I can poo before class.

I want to read and show you Matthew 6:19-24.

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust [5] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. [6]

I really like the song the song that Thrice wrote based on these verses. It goes like this:

Put your faith in more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up with moth and rust
where thieves break in and steal.
Pull the fangs from out your heal,
Oh we live in but a shadow of the real.

We live in but a shadow of the real. This is so true. God has a path set out for us, and if we put our faith in Him, we will realize and see this path and be able to follow it. There is so much more to life than material possessions, but a lot of the time, that's what I feel like I need and put most of my time and faith in. I need to break this habit and focus and give God the time and my faith.

I need to rid myself of my ties to earthly treasures and do things that glorify God and spread His name so that I may see the path that He has for me.

I'm excited for tomorrow. Praise the Lord.
