Timon and Pumbaa

First, to start out, I think I may actually get a few comments off of this one. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

Redirected

I made a comment a few days ago to moving on to a ‘Wednesday’ post to Andrew. He, maybe with a little sarcasm in his voice (which is hard to believe coming from Andrew) shot back, “You can’t do that, you have more important things to write about – AKA – Lauren!” We laughed it off but today I saw a clip that I think is going to explain things quite well. Here is a key:

• Simba – Me (Dale)
• Nala – Lauren
• Timon – Roomate #1
• Pumbaa – Roomate #2 (I’ll let them decide which one is which)

Enjoy.

 

I can not even begin to describe the applications  that this little jewel has.

 

But let me try;)

Simba – Me, Lots of past, not always the most open about certain things. (Click here for more details about why that is)

Timon and Pumbaa – Fairly obvious one. My roommates are my best friends. With  that being said, they give me a rough time occasionally about Nahla.

Nala – Lauren;)

There are plenty more comparisons to draw, but considering this is a public blob, I’m going to keep private thoughts…. private;)

Quiet Moments

I have a new calling at church and it is a beast. I’m the Executive Ward Secretary. More or less, I handle all the appointments for the Bishopric, follow up on callings and assignments, and pretty much anything else the Bishop needs me to handle. This is a pretty intense job in a regular ward, but throw it into a BYU student singles ward and you get something similar to a cross-eyed air traffic controller during rush hour.  Put that on top of college and work and you start to get an idea of what happens everyday. Yet here I am writing a blog;)

Now, I don't consider myself to be special. I know people who are much busier than I am. But it is still nice to have quiet moments.

SOME PLACES

help me focus. These are the places where I like to go when no one else is around. For example, at the lake, their is a point, and out on that point, the sun dances. Every morning and every evening, the water slicks off, the air cools down, and the sun dances in a beautiful bright line that stretches from where you are across the lake as far as the eye can see. Something just feel rights when your there, like times stands still and suddenly I can see the bigger picture of what's going on. I feel connected to the past, present, and future. Memories flood black to solve pressing issues of the day.

An empty chapel, old high school gym, or even just a picture of a place with a lot of memories. The picture to the right is of the bell tower at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. It’s where I went to EFY for 5 summers in a row.

Nature does the same thing. I took the pictures below last week on a hike that we did. Being outside, puts me in awe and wonder at God’s creations.

 

If anyone actually reads this, feel free to add your own ‘personal happy place’ ;)
