Man I rant so much about crappy stuff going on in my life on this blog, I think it'd be nice to post some happier stuff. God isn't just trials and tests, He loves us so much, He'll bring happiness our way. It's not that once you've gone through a trial and you're happy for a while, God's thinking "Time to give Eldon a hard time again to see how faithful he is". Happiness will come after happiness....well sometimes :P
I'm having a really happy day today, so far at least. Me and Jimmy (aka Timmy) wanted to be crazy and woke up at 7:30 to play ball. We just killed it today, both of us scoring machines. I really like playing with Jimmy! Maybe it's 'cause we've played so much together, our chemistry is really good. That, and I like to see Jimmy's super crosses!! He's also kinda retarded so it's lightens up the mood when we play. Win or lose, it's pretty fun. Playing well in the morning always makes the rest of my day happy. I really treasure the bonds that are made just from playing pick-up ball in the mornings. Sports in general is a great way to build up almost automatically bonds with strangers...often multiple strangers at a time. I know a lot of guys (and girls!) by a first name basis from the mornings, and it can really open up opportunities to talk off the court. If you know what I'm getting at, it's so we can talk to them about God! hahaha. I haven't converted anyone or anything, but I know some of them are aware that I am a Christian. I hope they see something different in me that would make them at the very least question what God is all about, why this kid is the way he is.
Aside from being too nice at ball, my presentation for one of my classes that morning went great! Questions from the class was what I worried about, and our group just killed it. I'm just in a really good mood right now, and there's many other things to look forward to today. ACF tonight, and most likely Settlers of Catan/Starcraft/Dota afterwards. Happiness after happiness is great, but if you've seen Fight Club, when that convenience store guy gets threatened for his life, everything in life will seem sweeter when we have them trials to compare to. Life truly is a gift from God, and I think all God really wants, is for us to acknowledge His love and love Him back.

even crazier is one is it let go of the wheel, crash down a clif and barely survive, a near life experience as they call it, will be sweet as well, i think if God tells me for sure i will survive, i might have a go at it.
