"I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it..."

Ahh yes and im enjoying every single moment of that now. I was juss reading tonz's xanga, wow i miss those kidsters and UCI. Geez its been forever since ive gone over thurr. FOr the past couple wed. its been weird not driving out that way on a wed. nite. Anyway, i spent a wed. evening w/SLY up in the LBC. I figured id pay them a visit since i havent been over thurr in a long time. Great people, the youf are juss getting younger and younger errday. Praise God though theyre so ready to serve God.

Im still hyped up from the Return of the King last nite. That movie was so good that i couldnt help but talk bout it w/errone i talked to today. Juss how d0pe the battle scenes were and ahh! Im going ot see it again tomorrow nite. I cant wait till it comes out on DVD so then i can juss buy the whole triology set. Yay! My coworkers saw it early this morning too at the block and whoa they had a line. On top of that the movie was sold out! Good thing for good old bpc krikorian theatres. Having a theatre down here in BpC is so convient for us. For me its only a 5 min drive, compare to driving out to one of the amc theatres before. I was telling cyril and leo tonite that when i saw that scene w/that army of soliders at the front line, it made me think of each community that i know. Thas all of us thurr standing on that front line ready to fight off the evil of the world.

Work was really chill today, and i mean really chill. I had some more santa letters to answer and the rest of day i did nothing. Tomorrow is our big hoiday luncheon, were we do gift exchange, free lunch and ahh yes im hoping for that big holiday bonus! On top of that its pay day tomorrow, yay!!! I love pay days and im not talking bout the candy bars either. Woo i gotta start and finsih my holiday shopping by this weekend. Well i dont know bout this weekend being theres like 1000 places we have to go caroling to.

Exerpt from an email i received...good stuff!

Sometimes the TRUTH seems more than you and I can bear.
Sometimes the PAIN seems more than you and I can bear.
Sometimes the LOVE seems more than you and I can bear.
Sometimes the OUTCOME seems more than you and I can bear.
Sometimes the FEAR seems more than you and I can bear.
Sometimes the SACRIFICE seems more than you and I can bear.

Crazy thing is our Blessed MOther bore all these feelings. She BORE them when She bore HIM, so that He might BEAR fruit in us, and so that we might bear fruit in this world. Mary is the perfect example of how to live a life that is never boring. She didn’t know what would happen next, She just said “Yes� to God at that moment, and then kept saying yes to Him with every turn. She jumped in the seat of the roller coaster car, threw Her hands in the air and said “take me where you want to take me�…�may it be done to Me according to Thy will.�

Like any parent, Mary would have chosen, in an instant, to take the pain upon Herself, rather than watching Her child go through it. If you have children, you understand. If you don’t have children of your own…ask a parent, and see what they say.

Life takes on a different meaning in our humanity when we welcome in His divinity, like Mary did. Through the divine eyes of God, we view our lives from a timeless point of view, not from a temporary human perspective. YOUR life will be viewed much differently by people 2000 years from now, for instance, than you might presently view it. They might not see the hardships you went through or the struggles you had…kind of like when we look back at Biblical figures, like the way we look at our Mother Mary.

You will know the hardships, however, and so will God. You will also know the love and happiness, and so will God. And you will have a choice, maybe even today (though probably not with an angel) to answer and follow God’s call for you…

The choice you will make…now THAT is LIFE.


Go and watch Return of the king today!

"I love the way you be holdin me when I be listenin to Jodeci..."im done, im out GOd bless!
