The Return of the Blogger

So after killing some time this morning i've decided that i miss blogging. Now, i hate writing, but for some reason i enjoy blogging and sharing what's going on with my life. So i'm going to try to make more of a concious effort to blog more often when things happen.
Right now life is pretty busy and fall break couldn't come at a better time. It's mid-term week, so i have a lot of tests to do, but most have passed which is good. Now i just need to make it to Christmas break and get home and enjoy some rest and relaxation. Well, hopefully i keep this up, it should be fun!

From the Inside Out

So i heard this song at chapel today and really liked it, so i looked around and found it, here are the lyrics.

From The Inside Out
by Hillsong United

A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

Gas

Got this email from someone...thought it was pretty good.

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer, gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.

2. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank so you're getting less gas for your money.

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)

4. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'

haha!

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150." The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.

The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?"

The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

John Waller "The Blessing"

I heard this song on the radio today and really liked it, so i bought it on itunes and decided to share the lyrics with you! Enjoy!

John Waller - The Blessing
From the album The Blessing

Chorus:
Let it be said of us
While we walked among the living
Let it be said of us
By the ones we leave behind
Let it be said of us
That we lived to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us
That we gave to reach the dying
Let it be said of us
By the fruit we leave behind
Let it be said of us
That our legacy is blessing for life

This day
You set life, you set death right before us,
This day
Every blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us
That our hearts belonged to Jesus Let it be said of us
That we spoke the words of life
Let it be said of us
That our heritage is blessing for life

For your Kingdom, for our Children
For the sake of every nation

CRAZY WEEKEND!

Ok, so here's how it started, we leave Longview around 10:30, and what do we find...SNOW, in APRIL, in TEXAS...already a weird start to the trip.

Then we get outside of Dallas, have lunch with Phil Taylor's G-pa and on our way to hang out at a mall we get rear ended by a girl who doesn't have insurance, doesn't have her driver's liscense on her, isn't wearing shoes, and was already late for a job she was going to get fired from anyways for being late too many times. Much to Phil's dismay, he was very pleased that the interior of his car would forever smell of dunkin' dounuts coffee.

We then go to Target and sample stuff from the febreez/lysol isle and get some window wipes to clean up his car.After all of this we uneventfully, thankfully, head over to the ball park at Arlington. We find our seats, second deck, second row from the top (not gonna happen). At the start of the game they announce that today was the coldest starting game time temperature the Rangers have ever had at that stadium, 38 degrees, and that was while the sun was still out. So we sit in our seats for an inning before we move down.

The game ends and the Rangers win!On our way back we stop to get gas. Phil fills up the car and as we're about to leave his car won't start, nothing, no noise, nothing! So, phil says he knows what the problem is, it's just that it's under the hood, and he can't pop the hood. So on a whim we start opening doors and turning the key and in the end we get it running. The rest of the trip is uneventful and i'm just thankful to have made it back in one peice and alive!
