dude, this week has been crazy busy.  the school meetings are starting to creep up on me, and now i'm trying to get my last summer kicks in by pretty much meeting and chillin' with the WHOLE FREAKING UNIVERSE, all the while trying to watch as much of winter sonata with my ltg as possible.  wish summer was longer.

today's top 5 lists ...

top 5 reasons i've heard for dating folks who don't know Jesus: (as per jenie's request)
1. "s/he is so good to me ... the only thing is ... s/he's not a Christian."
2. "it just feels right."
3. "you should've heard him/her talk about the Lord last night ..."
4. "s/he's so close ..."
5. "i'm the only person in his/her life that can talk to him/her about Jesus ..."
** i'm sorry if this offends people ... i merely mean to record what i've heard **
