Welcome to this post! I hope you enjoy…
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be haunted by one thing. Everywhere you go you can’t rid it from your mind. It taunts, daunts, and haunts until you become insane with frustration and manic.
Here’s a game! See if you can guess what’s haunting Phil by analyzing the scenarios to make an educated guess. The first quotation will be what was said to Phil, and the following quotation is what Phil either thinks, says, or screams.
Mom (calling upstairs): “Hey Philip did you catch what I said?”
Me: “Catch? Of course I caught it! What do you think? I wanted to catch it, because it was right in front of me! It was very easy to catch, and thus I caught it. I’m good at catching things. Especially when it is a VERY important time to catch them. Like IN THE ENDZONE!”
Mrs. Snider: “Some of you missed more than half the points on the test.”
Me: “Miss? Why, what a foolish thing to do. If you answer the first five questions right, why not answer the sixth one right? That would be called INCONSISTENCY. Which is STUPID because if you would have just gotten it right then you would have gotten all the POINTS! GAH!
Fellow freshmen mentor (to the freshmen): “Ok guys, there are a lot of opportunities to get involved in school.”
Me: “Opportunities, you say? Those are EXTREMELY important to execute. Why? Because if you don’t use them you might come up short. How about this kids, we use football as an example. Let’s just say, hypothetically, that you are a very important football team. If you happened to get several turnovers off the other team IN THE FREAKING RED ZONE, then you probably want to SCORE A TOUCHDOWN. See? Opportunities are important.
Fellow freshmen mentor (to the kids about drinking): “So you’ll be fine if you just make the best decision.”
Me: “The best decision, eh? Yet another flawless analogy: Timmy and Billy both play a sport. Timmy is better than Billy at the sport. Timmy and Billy both can’t play the sport. THEN WHY DOESN’T THE COACH JUST BLOODY PUT TIMMY IN? WELL? CAN YOU ANSWER ME THAT? DIDN’T THINK SO!!!!
It’s been a rough week in that aspect, good in others. I’ll be fine. With help.
“Take heart, those of you who hope in the Lord.”

Yes we should pray together sometime.
That quote by Francis of Assisi stuck with me, i mean, i have heard it said before in a roundabout way, i just like the way he used it, to his advantage, in the article.
nice, i like the whole description of football.
God Bless
