Not Giving Up
"Let us not become weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people..." Galations 6:9-10

Sweatie or Sweetie?
My family has this on-going joke which is really the rest of us making fun of mom. You see, mom is not a great speller and whenever she writes dad notes, the word "sweetie" comes out "sweatie." It is pretty funny but, it may be one of those "you had to be there" things.
Anyway, the topic of the day is sweat. Today it reached well above 100 degrees here in Chiang Mai. We at The Centre are fantastic at picking the hottest day of the season for our big "Sport's Day." There were about fifty people running around, playing sports and sweating profusely. Gross.
Afterwards I was helping out a friend with a task that involved me driving my motorbike for about an hour straight. No big deal, right? Wrong. By the time I parked and took my helmet off, my hair was so wet with sweat that I was actually able to squeeze sweat out of it. I won't even go into the state of my clothes. Disgusting.
I hate sweat.

Koh Tao
Last week was the Songkran Festival in Thailand. Chiang Mai celebrates this festival by having a huge water fight all around the city for a week. You cannot go out during the week without getting doused by water. The Centre closes down during this festival because students would rather be playing in the water than coming to class.
I took this opportunity to take a vacation and went to Koh Tao for a week. Koh Tao (translation:Turtle Island) is a small island in the Gulf of Thailand where you can stay in bungalows for ten dollars a night and do nothing but relax. It was fantastic. I swam in the ocean, laid on the beach and read books. It was wonderful. My ideal vacation is finding a place where I can sit and read without feeling like I should be doing something else, so this was the perfect vacation for me. I had a great time. I posted pictures of the island on my flickr account, check them out.

The World's Truest, Most Wonderful, Actual Greatest Friends
The two greatest friends in the world. How did I get so lucky? It is almost as if I won a lottery with God...
No dashing.
No secrets.
No burning.
No pieces.
Only spitting, slapping and loving.
Lots of loving.
