it's just so wrong so very nice


It has hastily been brought to my attention that too much fun has been going down by me-slash-around me here in East Texas.

I'll have you know that every night has it's delegated time and effort exerted. By golly I didn't leave the comforts of home just to run and play (and use words like 'by golly') in the state of shotguns, and chicken fried steak. I came here to earn the right to nail my fire certificate high up and tight to my bedroom wall.

My motivation stems from leaving no room for failure (to my human extent)

Matthew 5:38 speaks about going the second mile. 200% is my second mile. There is no room for a 1 point deviation. My fire brothers already told me a few times to stop complaining about getting 98% instead of 100%. It's just that if you adopt a philosophy, it's only proper you believe in it so much it pours out into all facets of your life, kinda like an ice cube tray.

So when my 200% setting is turned on you're darn right I know how to have fun.

ps. I conquered #12 on my to do list last night - found a church I can worship in. 'lifeChallenge' is a blessing, and so is the community.
