We went on a staff retreat to Colorado Monday through Wednesday. It was good. I saw some elk, went running, visited a camp, climbed up a hill (little did we know we weren't supposed to...=0), and did a few other things. I got to make the pastries for breakfasts and that was fun and educational. Got back and started work right away. Had to get a half day in. Today is more than happy to be a "full" day. Anything 8+ hours. Man, I have alot of blisters on my hands. Mrr.
Wow. I feel boring. It's as if the life is gone from me almost. I really enjoy being here, but I feel so stagnate and mrrmrr. I don't know. I need to read more Bible. I read Proverbs 22 this morning. It was so good. I just wanted to read more and more. I am excited about my new devo study, but I don't know if I am going to get "the most" out of it. It wants you to listen to certain songs and read certain material along with your Bible reading and such. But I don't have the cd. I am thinking of just going on SoundandSpirit and listening to it there...may be worth it. I want to get the most out of it.
Finally brought my bass in to get fixed. Ran quite a few errands that day. Whew! Anywho.Colorado was beautiful. I saw the sun rise over the mountains Wednesday morning when I went out on my run. I just looked at them and thought, "these can't be real." It's craziness. It was so beautiful. the weather during the day was perfect, a bit chilly at night, but wonderful. The town was small, yet charming and touristy, which I wasn't particularly fond of, but it was cute. The camp I went to left me in awe. It was the YMCA of the Rockies and it has like 117 (?) cabins and 11 hotel-style buildings and a very large kitchen. Apparently they are so popular that they have to turn ppl away! I'm glad we're not that big. But I do love the culture there. They have ppl from Sweden, Mexico, Italy, wherever! It was pretty neat. I loved being immersed and relaxing in something that I could learn from. I love learning. God is so good to me. I just pray everyday to be more like His Son and to learn from my mistakes and to just be the best I can through Him. Cause I'm pretty horrid most of the time if left on my own. I miss you guys. I love being here though and look forward to what God has in store for me! I know it's going to be something great.
Question: now off the serious-seriousness. I was thinking about this and was wondering what you thought or know of this word: Pursue.
One young lady here is courting a gentleman and the ladies in our vehicle (on the way up to CO) asked what he was doing to pursue her. Which got me wondering, what does it mean to pursue someone? What does that look like? Is it different if a guy is pursuing a girl than when a girl is pursuing a guy? Or is it the same mannerisms/actions just reversed roles?
I've seen some pretty sticky situations when the girl pursues the guy, but can't quite get a strong pic of what either looks like. so let me know, I'd be interested to find out what y'all think about it.

hey, wow, a solid post.... I'm drinking it in like a favorite beverage....mmmmm... ok i know I'm a strange bird, onto seriously-seriousness commenting (ha). It's hard to say, about your pursuing question, every situation will be different. What may be an appropriate action, actions or means of approach for a certain set of people may not be appropriate for everyone. I think to answer your question you really have to start with the hearts of the given people involved... where are their hearts at? Are they pure in their intentions, even if their modes of following that through doesn't appear the 'normal' means of which to do it... i mean there are certain boundaries that shouldn't be crossed... but I don't think there is a generally good textbook answer that can help us understand all situations of this type.
