Was a nice church service

So today was really nice. We were up by 8:45 so we could get ready for church. They went back to the fall/spring schedule where they have church starting at 10:30 instead of 9:30. But I'm happier about that because that means that on sunday, we dont have to get up nearly as early. This morning on the other hand, we got up early because our church was doing a breakfast at 9:30.

So we got up, and got to st mary's by 9:30. Breakfast was basically fruit, bagels with cream cheese, muffins, orange juice and apple juice. Not too bad. I always enjoy bagels. Especially ones like blueberry ones, or sesame seed ones, and then you add cream cheese. For the most part, usually i'm a plain cream cheese kinda guy, but this morning, I really enjoyed this one that was bacon and something else. For the most part, it had a pretty strong bacon flavor. I guess that just goes along with the saying that "everything is better with bacon."

You know, I tried to think of something that I could say that saying is wrong, but honestly I couldnt think of anything. Think of it. *well, everything is only better with bacon if you like bacon. If you cant stand bacon, hate it, whatever, then obviously adding bacon to something will only make you not like it. It'd be like saying "everything is better with pickles!". Yes some people will eat pickles with anything, and think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I, on the other hand, absolutely can not stand pickles, and so if you take something like cheeseburgers, which I loooove, and then you give me one and I take a bite and realize that it has pickles on it, I end up spitting the bite out and possibly not eating the burger. Thats how much I dont like pickles.*

But back to the "everything is better with bacon" saying, lets approach this as if i'm addressing anyone else out there that is like me, ie: a bacon lover. ;) So anyway, take omelettes for example. Omelettes with bacon? Yum-oh! Cheeseburgers? HECK YES! Bacon in pancake batter apparently is kick-ass too. When erin got me this package from baconfreak.com *you should def check it out*, it had bacon pancake batter, and this bacon seasoning, and it was like "@_@ ohmygosh!" Back in the day when I was married to Lori, I couldnt have bacon too often because Lori freaked out at the smell of bacon. We could never have bacon in the house, because I could not even cook it because she'd get sick from the smell. So, whenever we would go to a buffet for breakfast, and they'd have bacon, usually i'd get regular breakfast stuff like eggs, hashbrowns, etc, and then i'd pile on the bacon strips, like get 15 strips of bacon. Yes it was overboard, but when I couldnt get bacon otherwise, i got as much as i could whenever i "could" get bacon. Now-a-days though, whenever I would go to the TA and order breakfast over the past few months *since erin likes bacon and I dont have to go without or anything*, i find that sometimes I order bacon, sometimes I order sausage patties. Its one of those things now where I dont feel like i "have" to take advantage of it. Jack in the box tacos are something else, because they dont have that restaurant out here, so anytime i've been out on the road and I've seen a place I could stop with the truck, that was near a jack in the box, i jumped on it and would stop there. 2 tacos for 99 cents? Cant beat that with a stick!

Its interesting, as I started this entry, I was like "i dont know what to write about...this entry is going to be short", yet as soon as I started talking about food, or bacon to be more specific, suddenly my fingers were just going at it. I never know how much I will be able to write. I always want to write as much as possible, but some days its just like "ok, my mind is blank." That's the interesting thing about being a writer, is that I always want to write and write, but i often dont have a preplanned thing about what I want to write about. That makes continueing my book a bit difficult because I really want to continue and to finish it *which I will definitely finish it*, but since "planning" isnt my strong suit *ie: i have trouble planning, i'm more the push forward and just 'do'*.

So I know once I get caught up with where i'm at in my book, and I resume writing in it to continue the story, I will have to keep motivating myself to keep writing almost every day, because just like blogging, its hard to get started up again if you have allowed yourself to get out of the habit. So, the way I see it is, i just need to get myself back in the habit of adding to my book, and perhaps when I do end up finishing it, and get it published, it'll be a best seller *God willing*, and then it'll be the same thing, where I might then begin a 2nd book and maybe I can become a full time writer for a living. Who knows! lol. Yes I know a lot of you, like how my parents were when I told them I really wanted to attend Spartan College of Aeronautics so I could become a professional airline pilot, a lot of you might read what I wrote about maybe being able to write full time in the future, and respond like "right, good luck, fat chance of that happening. thats not a very stable career."

So, I think I will close on that note, although I think i could ramble on for a bit. So I will leave you all with this tonight. If you have hopes and dreams of doing something for a living, dont give it up. When I couldnt succeed at getting myself into the career of flying *not for lack of trying, but more so for lack of money to get myself started in the school, I believe had I managed to get into the school and get started, I know I would have completed it*, well when I couldnt pull that off, because I have always loved to drive and have always been really good at long distance driving, I had thought for a while that truck driving would be something I would be good at. Is it something I want to do for a long time? Not exactly. In fact, I'm still open to trying to get into flying professionally, or getting into something else, but a professional driver is what I am for a while apparently. We'll see what life brings. But anyway, *sorry, I rambled*. What I was saying is this. If you've had hopes and dreams about something you want to do with your life, then go for it no matter what others tell you! your parents, friends, or other people in your life. might not understand why you want to be a professional race car driver, or massage therapist. We have no control over the things that we desire to do with our lives. God has laid out a road map of our lives, and although the choice is up to us, there is a career for everyone, and if we follow where we are called, and end up in that career God intended, then we will not only be happy in that career, but we will be at peace too. This is whether or not it is a high paying career. As long as you are doing something that you are passionate about, good at, and love doing, then money shouldnt be as important. Too many people pick a career based off of what they will make in their salary, and then they are always pissy because they have never been happy in their job. I think my mom is like this with her career as a nurse (CRNA), because she went into that field mainly because she knew that there would always be a demand of nurses. Sooo, find something you want to do passionately, and dont let anything stop you from doing it. That way when you are much older, you can look back and say "i did it! People doubted me, and said it was a bad career, or bad thing to do, but i succeeded!" After all, its your life! Live it! Thats all peeps! Hope you have a great night! God bless! and talk to you again soon!
