I Would Compare It To Jenga…
Okay so first of all, for those of you who are awesome because you watch LOST, I think the Time Loop Theory is the best and most probable theory yet. Its so good, in fact, that I think the show may not be as fun now that I think this theory explains it all. Hopefully uncle J.J., in his brilliance, has come up with some twists for us. For those of you who haven’t watched any LOST, do not go to the above stated web site. Pick up Season 1 on DVD or go to ABC.com (You can watch every episode in full HD streaming. Free. Amazing.) and start with episode 1. Do not attempt to watch any other episodes or commercials. The island would not like that…
So since I moved back to good ‘ol, hometown, cop-infested Marysville, my life has been … interesting. I’ve been trying to snag as many hours as I can at Starbucks. But in the area of finances, it’s been really really difficult. This is nothing new so I won’t bore you with it, but it has been really tough for me. Really tough. Things that make life a lot harder just keep happening. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, it gets just a little bit worse. On the board game scenario, I wouldn’t compare the situation to Dominos, I would compare it to Jenga. The things I need to stand just keep getting slid out from under me. I would compare it to Jenga, but its starting to feel a little bit like Mouse Trap.
I know it is an opportunity for me to rely and lean on Jesus. I praise God for those opportunities, especially since, here in America, even the poorest are considered rich compared to other countries. I have to admit though, I feel very cornered. I really don’t want to get into it much and I don’t want any pity. I’m sure some of you can or could relate at some point. It gets me excited to be in Heaven where there is no sickness and no debt and no remembering of guilt and sin.
I’m glad that our time here on earth is so short. I wouldn’t want to live here for long. I am amazed that there are people being paid by government organization to find or create a “fountain of youth.” Who would want to live longer than 90 years? I’m sure there are some. But those are people I don’t understand.

Thanks for the update, brother. I love it when I can pray more specifically! Continue to endure, my friend, and look to Christ! I love you man.

I think the last episode of Lost was probably one of the best…and the one with Said working for ____ (I don’t want to give it away, in case some people don’t know). I actually cried when Des was talking to Penny. Not that that’s so hard – I cried at Free Willy, too. The Lost Blog has been arguing a time-loop theory for awhile, so this episode just seemed to confirm it. Though…there’s plenty of stuff still to ‘discover’ – Smoke Monster, anyone?

Hey, I cried at Free Willy too.
Tony – maybe God is trying to get you to stand on Him alone and nothing else (redundant I know). The point is He may be telling you that all you theories and strategies for your life are nothing but a shaky Jenga tower (look at your history… at least something to think about). God is a teaching Father and in His loving care he disciplines us to teach us that faith, trust, love, and obedience to Him are the only way. Looking only to Christ and be quick to humble yourself before Him. Love you bro.

Did you read my recent post on LOST? I was thinking of you when I wrote it. Not really, but I wasn’t NOT thinking about you.
I will be praying for your financial hardships. Just remember, when things look their worst, at least you’re not stranded on an island.
