Communion

"We are not two,
We are one."

I watched The Darjeeling Limited tonight with Jessica Biel...she is even more attractive in person.

I decided i wanted to watch Wes Anderson's new movie tonight. Of the two showings, the 7 and the 10, i settled on the 10. Figured i would give my self plenty of time so that i would not feel rushed getting there. Turned out to be a good decision.

I headed off to Albertsons down the road to get some "treats" for the movie. I ended up wondering through the prepared food section and came across their bread selection. I was reminded of Landon and late night runs to the super market. Also of the time Kenny got a left-over loaf from church that we munched on as we rode in the church truck down to City Hall to set up for the Day of Prayer. So i bought a loaf like the one Kenny had. I love starch.

As i walked over to the drink section i saw a college age looking girl doing her grocery shopping. I suddenly thought of shopping with my future wife and it made me smile. I am looking forward to having someone to shop with.

Once in the drink section i settled on some Arizona RxStress iced tea, both for value and quality, and proceeded to the check out isle. As i waited to pay i ended up grabbing a bag of peanut M&M's. I have been eating those a lot lately...perhaps because they are what my mom always gets.

Having payed for my items i jumped back on my bike...well...not really jumped; there is the whole process of getting my iPod going, putting the lights on my bike so i do not get hit by a car, undoing the bike lock, putting my gloves on to keep my hands from freezing due to wind chill, and finally putting my helmet on before actually "jumping on my bike..." and headed off for the promenade.

I got to the promenade with about 45 minutes to spare. So i grabbed a Latte from good ole' Starbucks and read some of Isaiah. As the time drew near for the movie, i made my way to the theater. Right next to the theater there is this little Antique shop, and as i was passing it this wooden figure in the window caught my eye. I am not sure what it was about the little figure of a man that made me stop, but i think it had something to do with the expression on his face. The store was closed, but i think i will return to see how much it costs tomorrow.

Arriving at the theater a little earlier than i planned, i milled about the lobby as i waited for the movie to begin. I went in about 5 minutes before the previews started and found a seat. Then, low and behold, who walks in a couple minutes before the movie starts? Jessica Biel. I thought perhaps my eyes, due to the the low lighting, were deceiving me. But there was no denying it, it was her. I was kind of surprised though, i always imagined her being taller...or something.

Well, the movie began and ended. And Jessica left as soon as the credits began to roll. I sat and watched the scenery pass on the screen as the credits ran. And an idea came to me. I am still not sure if it was from my own brain, or if God was speaking it in to my head. But it got me thinking. And so as i walked back to my bicycle i wondered a little. I even ended up finding where all the homeless people culminate in the promenade. I then began hoping of being able to go to each one of them sometime in the future to give them something...like a cot for the night (the benches are hard and steel), or maybe a new watch (not sure why), or perhaps just the love of Jesus Christ.

Arriving at my mode of transportation i headed for home and continued to ponder the new idea that had come to me after the movie. I decided i would need to do some praying when i got home when another idea hit me. I had unknowingly purchased items for communion (having eaten the M&M's in the theater) and so would be able to break bread and drink from "the cup" when i got home. I was excited.

God didn't really speak to me about the idea that came to me after the movie during my prayer time, but He did speak to me about some other stuff. And one of the things was that i am to get rid of the internet on my computer. Not give up internet altogether, but just to not have it on my laptop. So i finished praying, read about The Last Supper in all four gospels, and partook of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ.

Now we are caught up to the present. I am on Blogspot typing a farewell message as i consume more starch and herbal tea. I will perhaps check online from time to time at school or what not, but i can not guarantee a new post for a while. I wish you all well! Adieu.

O, and one more thing: I thought it was funny how i saw Adrian Brody after paying for the most expensive latte of my life, and then saw Jessica Biel while watching the most expensive movie of my life, which just so happened to have Adrian Brody in it...haha. And did i ever mention i saw dolphins at the beach the first time i used my dolphin towel i had just purchased at Longs Drugs? It was the only one they had left...

as soon as i "published" that comment i realized that i probably won't get an answer to that for a very long time. so it's really going to drive me insane. UNLESS i just call you, which i should do because i haven't heard the sound of your sweet, sweet voice in weeks. because we always talk on aim. haha, ANYWAY.

haha, i do appreciate the dane reference, thank you!

i admit, the tone of the blogs do feel quite emo of late but in my defense on the rain one in particular, i wrote that last year but I decided to repost it on here to have something new...i am planning on writing something new and fresh soon...

i agree, God is definitely perfecting us and that something beautiful is coming...I can't wait to experience it!

and i too hope that I can experience that rain while in Arizona...it's getting so close, and it's getting harder to wait!

hope to catch you on AIM sometime...we got some catching up to do friend...love you bro!

KEVIN! Three Things For You!

1) "Say" is AMAZING. I meant to ask you about that when we were on the phone the other day. But I love it, and like you said, I wouldn't have expected otherwise. It's easily becoming one of my favorite Mayer tunes. Although that's not saying much cause I love them all!

2) You FREAKING better go to see John if you have the chance...how is that even a choice? You're going to see your parents over the entire break buddy! You have one day for John. I was trying to see if he was having any tour dates while we're visiting you but so far, nothing is posted on his site.

3) How many numbers did you score? haha :)
