Thunder Storms, Tornados and soap?

Well i get home and bring the rain with me. Buffalo is under a tornado watch and the weather has been interesting. I woke up to thunder shaking my house at about 2am lovely jubbly... I had another definatly so different to england day. I was woken up at 8 am yet again by the lovely and wonderful but has way too much energy Micah Andrew Smith. Its odd answering the door to a very chipper, ADHD six foot two 8 year old in a 20 year olds body. The rest of the morning was a blur but i do remember that i didn't sleep. The afternoon was spent getting lost trying to find the toyota dealership and then waiting to get an oil change. Then doing laundry and having several lengthy converstations with the Computer Stores Geek Squad guy about what to do with my very virus infected lap top.

But most interesting about the day was the evening spent with my brother and sister in law. My middle sibling Christopher, the black sheep. He wants an ICP clown on his ankle, yuck. But my older must more pious than i brother (Mark)just had the conversation with me yesterday about how he preached the gospel message to Chris and his wife Kristy ("and for the first time ever i think they listioned). Chris suddenly just blurted out you know your brother told Kristy and i that were going to hell? He thinks i don't believe in God. ('well christopher both you and i know that you're a christian when u going to let the rest of the world know?'). Now in the middle of this somehow i feel like im doing somthing wrong... should i be telling mark off for not even bothering to get to know his brother before judging his immortal soul... or should i be telling Chris more frankly, yes you said the sinner's prayer same time i did but what about growing spiritual past the stage that everyone in the church hurt me so im giong to act totally opposite from them so they don't want to be around me...and while i know where chris does stand what about kristy? Its so much easier to council and share things with kids you don't know that well but your own flesh and blood the most important people in the world you kinda draw a blank maybe i guess that means the holy spirit was telling me lay off a more oppertune moment will come along!

This spiritual converstaion only lasted about 5 minutes and then we watched fight club. Interesting my brother was completely shocked when i figured out the plot within 15 minutes of the movie. Aw well never look at soap the same!

Off to maine tomorrow for a week with the parental units. should be interesting if not restful!

Listening to your interview on si's blog very intresting and informative..... as is your blog.... all i can say is i agree with Si's comments on a certain issue.... and on others my advice is "family, can't live with them... can't hit them with big spikey sticks!!"

Make sure you get some sort of break over the holiday and i'll catch you when you get back to the uk if not before
Take care
