Amazing Grace, Game 7, and Tough Decisions

"Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see" -- John Newton

What an incredible thought, and realization that this song, these words could speak to so many people, no matter race, gender, creed. It is astonishing that God would grant us this Grace, that as said in the movie Amazing Grace, "I remember two things, ONE that I am a great sinner, and TWO that Christ is the Great Saviour" (choose your particular favored spelling of saviour).

I just realized something, totally off track from all of my thoughts but it was so wonderful I had to stop for a little while. The sound of silence... I'm not normally a fan of silence, but for some reason this is a comforting one, I'm able to hear my thoughts clearly, no background room mate noises, just the hum of the fridge, (which I could do without, but right now it's letting me know the power is still on so it's alright)...

"And you cry
My Child, my child
My child, my child,
My child, my child
I have forgiven you" -- Sean Jones (can I attribute something to myself; oh well just did)

Game 7 was great tonight Sharks jumped out to a 1-0 lead lost it but fought back with 4 straight to take the lead at 5-2, only a late goal got the Flames to a 5-3 game... JR had 2 goals and 2 assists tonight what a great game... It was such a great game though, if I lived in Montreal I might burn a police car, but I live in Chico, and we don't do that for the first round of the playoffs here... (Aw come on take the joke)...

Tough Decisions, I don't know where I'm going to be next year, my original plan was to come back to Chico, after my internship was up, but really I don't know if I'm going to be at Chico State, Butte College, or Yuba College (the last is if I move home which is a possibility)... I realize there's that point when you leave your folks house and grow up, but honestly I probably should've stayed in Marysville this year. I'm so glad I've made many friends up here in Chico, but just wish that I'd have been more careful with some of the decisions I've made. So I think I'm going to end up in Marysville, with my folks going to Yuba, hopefully with a job at my old store, or possibly at a Starbucks or some coffee shop down there, maybe both...

BUT
To focus on the positive for right now, I'm getting excited over a dinner at mi casa on Friday, maybe we'll sneak in a little hockey, while we're at it, because I hope these folks understand my love for that team. Health news I worked most of my shift today, sent home early due to the rain, and the fact that I'm not really available on Tuesdays or Mondays for that matter. My back is doing alright still in pain, but better. Maybe I can get my bro to buy us tickets to one of the Sharks Playoff Games coming up, I'd be down for a game on his dollar... So excited for Friday, second round of playoffs, and SLI! Oh I'm sure I can wait, but MAH! I don't want to, what'd be even greater is when SLI starts, the Sharks would still be in the hunt for the CUP! Although I don't know if that's how I want to meet people for the first time, hyped up on hockey it could be worse... couldn't it.
