Daggon Storm ;; Ugh !!

Yea, I realize that I sort of sound like a hillbilly, but hey, I am my father's daughter, right ?? Wow, that that too many comas in the last sentence. Hah. Well anyways, as you probably are all aware of the humongo storm last night, it doesn't seem necessary for me to tell you about it. Tippy of course was going absolutly pshycotic. She had a fever of like 120, her tongue was hanging down to the floor, and she was shaking more than a foot massager. And since she is all skin and bones, you could hear her banging against the hardwood floors and she sat out in the hallway. At one point in the night, I saw her crawl under my bed and was kept awake by her bones hitting the floor. Hah. Somehow I managed to fall asleep despite all the noise. I had a nice long talk with God and took care of some things that have been bugging me lately. So, this morning I feel refreshed and happy :D. And I've decided to pick up where I left off in my devotions much too long ago.

Since school has let out, I've been more happy with my life. Maybe it's because I'm not surrounded in the drama and depressing people who try to bring me down to their level with their lack of self esteem and worth. Or maybe it's because I can be more of myself at home. Not to say that I put on an act at school, which I don't, but at home I'm more apt to be relaxed. And even though I am bored a lot of the time (but hopefully things will change, thanks to Clint's column) I actually enjoy being home.

So Saturday, we teens are heading out to Firestone Park for the annual Fireworks Outreach. I always have fun with that. This year I'm determined to find out what the heck a funnel cake is, but more importantly gain a little more courage about talking to the people. I find it intimidating to just walk up to a person. Usually I'm a friendly person to strangers, always talking to the waiters, McDonald's register people, and Wal-Mart sticker ladies, but then I think to myself what I would feel like if a Catholic or Muslim or whatever came up to me and tried to talk to me about how their faith is the right way, when I am not at all willing to leave my beliefs. I know this isn't the right mindset, so hopefully I'll be able to change my attitude about this soon. :)
