As many of you read earlier today, my iphone passed away. It was found without a working bottom half of the touch screen at around 10:30 last night. This had happened once before, but last time it was after being dropped. Taking off the screen and putting it back on did not work this time though. For those of you who don't know, I got that phone with an already cracked screen for $10. And it lasted 2 years. Oh yeah. But it's okay because I got a 3Gs, now, instead of just a 3G.
So if you didn't know, it's very hard to judge if a church is gooding by looking at their website. I have run into this problem when looking for churches in Newberg. You can tell if they are super old, and if they have some beliefs you don't like, but other than that, most churches have pretty similar beliefs and sometimes you can't even tell if they preach on certain topics. So you really have to visit to figure out if you like it. Some people in the college group are talking about commuting to Portland or other places like 30 min away, but I would prefer to stay closer to campus, so that if I wanted I could be involved in the church community. It is very hard to be an involved member if you live 40 min away from your church.
I reached 170 one day this week on the scale. I would be celebrating but I'd like to see it more consistent at 170 instead of steady at 168 or so. Anyway working out and basketball have been good, but I could go for being a bit less tired some days. Like right now I am debating whether or not I want to do noon hoops tomorrow. Sometimes I just like to get my shots up, since that is a better way to work on individual skills. But I also know I need to work on my team game, moving without the ball and getting people involved.
So I was thinking about careers some this week. This was started by reading Katie's most recent blog, about wanting to be a sports broadcaster. While I think this would be a good fit for her, I got to thinking about my career. Because I know Katie wanted to be a teacher, which I also thought was a good job for her. That got me thinking, like if I wasn't going to be an optometrist what would I be? Don't get me wrong, I really like Optometry, it's what I want to do, but I am very cognizant of the fact that God often changes our plans, so I like to keep an open mind about it. I thought about some parts of my life I enjoy, like basketball and working out, music, and religious stuff. What I have realized when watching trainers at physical therapy appointments and going to bball practice this whole year without playing, is that you can spend hours and hours at the gym without getting any exercise. I really don't like that. I might be okay with that at some point, but I feel like it would be better to keep the gym as a place of fun and relaxation(mentally) rather than have it be work. I would like to do music stuff for a career, but I am not a musical genius, and there is too much risk financially, since I would like to have a family that I could support financially. Also listening to artists that I consider more mature, like Thrice, Blindside, and Brian Welch, they often talk about how hard it is to be away from your family that much. I thought about religious stuff, and I am not feeling it. I like listening to sermons and getting stuff out of them, looking at the verses that were talked about, but I could never preach. I like to learn and have knowledge, that way I can be ready to respond when the right time comes for me to share with people about Christ or about other issues, but it's just not a career option. I'm not even like "God, I will not do that," I just don't see it as my calling. That is probably an obvious statement to those of you that know me. So until God changes my mind, Optometry it is.
