My mom and I both had weird dreams yesterday night. My mom dreamed she was at school and Al Boreland (from Home Improvement) caught her doing something illegal. He was nice, and tried to help her hide it, but my mom just got mad at him. HAHAHA. Okay, I dreamed that we were holding the Olympics in our living room, and I was competing in weight-lifting. I lifted 600 lbs (wow, buff) and won the gold medal over this short chick. Our house must have been unstable last night ... Oh yeah, good luck Buddy w/ the b-ball tourney ... MVP! MVP! hah hah -bj 
I was emotionally unstable today. Don't laugh, but I cried twice watching t.v. Okay, the first time I probably shouldn't have cried. I was watching the Ironman Triathalon, and every year I watch it and every year I tear up. This year, however, I actually cried when I heard the story of a woman who ran triathalons with her husband for 20+ years and this was her first year running the triathalon since her husband passed away. Just seeing her finish the race made me cry. I'm glad no one was in the room when I was watching. The second time I cried was when I was watching a 9/11 special, recapping the attack on the Pentagon. It was depressing watching the tragedy that took place that day. It made me cry again ... hmmmm ... I'm such a girl ... okay, don't tell people i was crying ... i'm supposed to have this MACHO-man persona. :-) (on a happier note, my mom bought me an anchor blue cologne sample! yay! it smells good, too!) -bj
JUST SAY NO ... Hmmm ... it happened again ... PP asked me to play for youth service ... that would be EVERY week ... and i'd have to practice every saturday ... I already have so many church commitments ... I have to learn how to say no sometimes ... hmmmm ... boooo ... well, I told him i'd think about it, but i dunno what i will do ... also, the new college/career service might be held at the same as youth service, and i am REALLY LOOKING FOWARD to this new service ... hmmmmm ... decisions, decisions ... but it would be really cool bonding with the youth service worship team, since it's the same team every week ... but then again, i don't really like the youth in youth service ... they're too bratty ... i like little kids, but not upper-elementary kids. hmmmm ... dunno ... i dunno if i also have time to practice EVERY SATURDAY for 2+ hours ... yikes. -bj
Yesterday I broke the Bart ticket machine ... I accidently put my ticket in the place where you are supposed to put the dollar bills! Then when I actually put money in after that, the machine went KA-PUT! This attendant came over and asked how much money I put in ... I told him five bucks, but I neglected to tell him that I also put in a three dollar ticket, too. Anyway, I got my five dollars back, but I lose out on my three dollar ticket. Boooooo ... -bj

h2o (His 2 Own), my youth club, was AWESOME tonight ... we had a sponsors' appreciation night. i guess i take my club sponsors for granted a lot of times ... they really are awesome people, though, that really wanna see us college people grow in the Lord. anyway, i learned how to be really intimidating in h2o ... to seem intimidating, act like a weirdo ... here's a glimpse into some of the conversations ... Dave: What are you doing, Jennifer? Jennifer: Trying to lick my elbow. Dave: Why are you doing that? Jennifer: Because I can! James: Okay! Everyone try to bite your ear! hahahah ... try looking in the mirror while you try to bite your own ear ... it's HILARIOUS! or try licking your elbow! (so close, yet so far ... =0( ) Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. Go Bears. -bj
In our little Bible study, we were talking about how we are not our own, but we've been bought by God. Everything we do should be for the glory of God. That reminded me of this song ... it's probably one of my all-time favorites because of its rich lyrics.. I Surrender All I have wrestled in the darkness Of this lonely pilgrim land Raising strong and mighty fortresses That I alone command But these castles I've consturcted By the strength of my own hand Are just temporary kingdoms On foundations made of sand In the middle of the battle I believe I've finally found I'll never know the thrill of victory 'Til I am willing to lay down All my weapons of defense And earthly strategies of war So I'm laying down my arms And running helplessly to Yours I surrender all My silent hopes and dreams Though the price to follow Cost me everything I surrender all My human soul desires If sacrifice requires That all my kingdoms fall I surrender all If the source of my ambition is the treasure I obtain If I measure my successes on a scale of earthly gain If the focus of my vision is the status I attain My accomplishments are worthless and my efforts are in vain So I lay aside these trophies to pursue a higher crown And should You choose somehow to use the life I willingly lay down I surrender all the triumph for it's only by Your grace I relinquish all the glory I surrender all the praise I surrender all My silent hopes and dreams Though the price to follow Cost me everything I surrender all My human soul desires If sacrifice requires That all my kingdoms fall I surrender all Everything I am All I've done and all I've known Now belong to You The life I live is not my own Just as Abraham laid Isaac On the sacrificial fire If all I have Is all that You desire I surrender all -bj

I must post my scheme poem here because i'm removing it from my profile. Ode to Scheme What to say of thee O scheme? How to express my love for thee? Shall I in vain attempt list Thy qualities Nay, for to speak of such atrocities Would be to pierce my soul With a thousand sorrows Scheme, o scheme Thou art beyond words Words cannot describe thee Only in dreams Art thou loved O scheme O scheme Hope's faint gleam has faded Hope of understanding thee Hope of loving thee Hope of thou loving me O scheme O scheme -bj
I love the imagery of this song ... comparing the heart to a home in disrepair ... i can picture Jesus sitting in our hearts and "tidying up" ... and finally once we change our hearts to seek after Him, I see him hanging a "Home Sweet Home" sign on the wall of our heart. Welcome Home by Shaun Groves from Invitation to Eavesdrop Take, me, make me All You want me to be That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking Welcome to this heart of mine I've buried under prideful vines Grown to hide the mess I've made Inside of me Come decorate, Lord Open up the creaking door And walk upon the dusty floor Scrape away the guilty stains Until no sin or shame remain Spread Your love upon the walls And occupy the empty halls Until the man I am has faded No more doors are barricaded Come inside this heart of mine It's not my own Make it home Come and take this heart and make it All Your own Welcome home Take a seat, pull up a chair Forgive me for the disrepair And the souvenirs from floor to ceiling Gathered on my search for meaning Every closet's filled with clutter Messes yet to be discovered I'm overwhelmed, I understand I can't make this place all that You can repeat chorus I took the space that You placed in me Redecorated in shades of greed And I made sure every door stayed locked Every window blocked, and still You knocked repeat chorus Take me, make me All You want me to be That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking -bj
A great Bible verse to take out of context: "For bodily exercise profiteth little ..." (I Tim 4:8) I'm taking that to heart ... :-) -bj

One day every tongue will confess You are God One day every knee will bow Still the greatest treasure remains for those Who gladly choose You now What a nice thought ... Even the demons acknowledge that Jesus is Lord, as will everyone when they die ... yet what great joy we all have in believing in Christ in this world. -bj
