Somethings Lost That Must Be Found!!!

Today started off late but great. I turned off my alarm at 6:45 and went right back to sleep. When I woke up at ten I decided to skip the only class I could have made it to still. Genetic Biology can't be all that hard anyways. At about 12 o-clock I decided I should at least do something today. So I started unpacking all my stuff from my dorm (I am no longer living on campus). Nearing the end of this adventure I still hadn't come across my box of "small things," and unfortunately as your get older the most important things in your life tend to get smaller. Well as it turns out I still haven't found that box. things that where in that box that are very important include, but are not limited to: my razor and shaving cream, toothbrush (don't worry i have another), checkbook, "Mere Christianity" by C. S. Lewis, my ping pong paddles and a few balls, two stress balls, possibly a Nalgene, and surely something else I will find invaluable. Well my mom found out what I was looking for, and now she is major stressing out about it because of my checkbook. What she doesn't realize is that I am in college and there isn't anythign to steal in the first place. So I do hope to find it because of the razor its been a week since i shaved and its getting rough. I would also really like to have the Ping Pong stuff too. Also I got asked if I wanted to go skiing tomorrow. That is awesome except that it isn't supposed to be cold and because I know I have to work but I don't know what time. So that leaves me with a lot of open ends. Also I am a huge fan of the NFL and would really like to watch the wild card games tomorrow. Unfortunately that seems to be getting lower and lower on the list of things to do. Tonight was cool because I got to eat Larosa's Pizza which is my absolute favorite. In addition to that I had three Cokes my favorite pop. Now as I laeve to go to bed I am happy and full. Only one other thing looms in the back of my mind. Tonight in my quiet time I discovered something quite disconcerting. In Mark 13 there is a mention that the heavenly bodies will tremble as the end times approach. I personally am not one to make something out of nothing and am in no way saying that the enourmous earthquake/tidal wave in Asia is a foreshadow to the coming of Christ, but I am confronted with a new urgency to spread the Gospel of Christ. So to all of you reading this spread gospel spread. But seriously it is staggaring to think that every day really could be the last. I am not worried about my personal salvation as I am very secure in that, but I do worry that I miss opportunities to show Christ to people. I hope you may realize and fully take advantage of these situations as well. So I think that's it for tonight I hope you havea great night.

In Him,
matt

Mmmmmmm....Pizza! Actually, I had that last night too, only it was slightly overdone, as my friend Sally had left it in the oven while she went to meet me (I had managed to land my car in the ditch while driving to her house, as the roads are fairly icy.). We didn't have pop though, but it's nice to see that you drink coke and not pepsi, as it seems like everyone around here does. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you had such a great day. Have another!

Hello! Nice idea, but will this really work?
