Loaded and Ready!

The RV currently sits in a mouse infested swampy area in Manhattan, KS. I had to leave it there for the time being. Last week I made a move from Hugoton to Manhattan. I'm going to be teaching two public speaking classes and taking graduate level classes for theatre/directing. The goodbye parties were great! I thank the church for their gift and everyone for cooking food. The red mangos were second place and the raspberry pie made with four different kinds of raspberrys was first place and the best pie I have ever tasted. WOW!

I had a blast this last June. I had the opportunity to be a resident advisor / mentor for a camp for migrant farm worker students called Harvest of Hope Leadership Academy. 48 of the students that went spoke Spanish so it was fun to learn more words and culture. They got me excited about watching soccer and eating everything with Mexican hot sauce --Valentina.

I'll be heading to Yellowstone in a couple days with three other guys. Hopefully this will be a fun trip to adore God and be amazed at His creativity and simple beauty. WOW the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha yesterday was fun. I was reminded of how vast this planet is from the huge fish in the ocean to the tiny tiny bugs in the dirt. This place is awesome.

I'm walking towards a bigger picture in my mind by going back to school for theatre. I'll still be working with people, which is something I wanted to do with my life and I'll be going into an area that I can get passionate about. I think it's a general direction, still not pin pointed, but it is one step closer to what I want to do on this planet -- now Mars is a different story and don't even get me started on my Jupiter thoughts.

I've realized that I enjoy observing life around me and how people chose to live their life. I might lean towards psychology and theatre therapy in the future and of course it would be fun to study theology but maybe not in the United States. I was just thinking yesterday that I am going to have to go to school for awhile and gain a lot of experience for all the things that I want to do.

Just to name a few.

Learn Spanish, direct, write, and act in plays / films, combine music and theatre for a traveling show that would have a greater impact on it's audience than an AC/DC concert, take part in working mission trips around the world, create documentary videos, do powerful outreaches in jails and prisons, put together a stand up comedy routine that wow's audiences much like Andy Kaufman -- but better of course.
