I had a mission today. I would scour over all the Internet for kid's curriculum written in Albanian. The day is ending, and my mission seems to be coming to a halt. I did find a couple organizations that offered it, but only to there church or the people that are on there mission teams to use it. I was tempted by the bait they had placed, then they just swooshed it out of my hands. Saddened. It left me Saddened. I was hoping to lean on the Nazarene church to provide me with Albanian literature, but that one is out of there usual basic languages. What people do not speak Albanian here in the u.s all the time? What has this place come to, I thought we were the great big mixing bowl. I guess someone left out the pinch of Albanians, right next to the tablespoon of Liechtensteiners. Well I know God will work it out, whatever he will have me use to teach these kids will find it's way to me somehow. So I might need to tone down on "the robot" when I go to Albania, I mean the...

So I randomly decided today, that while I am in Albania that I should try to do a few video things on here while im over there. To give you guys a little more feel of the place- more then pics can describe. So today I did a trial run, just to see if it will work out or not. So here ya go. - Yeah i know the light in the back is crazy bright but just think of it as the wicked crazy light monster and you never know who its going to attack. hmm maybe. ha ha I got to watch Split Infinity today. Its an old feature films for families video, it was my fav out all the ones in the 90's. It even trumps the butterscotch gang, oh yeah because of that I had a grand day.

A couple weeks ago my grandpa asked me if I would go to Dollywood with him. He said it was bluegrass & barbecue month and thought that I would be interested. Well I will admit I love myself some large amounts of both of those things, so it was an offer I just could not refuse. As the days got closer to my drive to Chattanooga, my grandpa got more excited and I became more hesitant. Now I was not hesitant about my love for some good pickin' and tasty ribs, but I was a tad hesitant about one on one time with grandpa. We have really never spent time together just the two of us. I mean occasionally he would take me out for peanut butter milkshakes, or while I was visiting we would go get the grocery's together. But most of the time there was always someone else with us. My grandma. She passed away this summer from bone cancer, she had been fighting it this whole last year. We all new it would be hard on grandpa, but we were not sure of how or what he would do. He has not stoppe...

Because of all this time of walking, thinking, and reading. I have become a little obsessed in the world of Ms. Austen - once again. I will admit since I was in highschool I have been a fan of her writings, but it seems all I do these days other then trying to prepare for my upcoming adventure is think of life in Bathe, Hampshire, or even London. Her stories never seem to fail me, with each so distinguished without being snobbish. Everything is painted beautifully, and each character is so unique. As i sit and take in the silence, I think of the women of that period. How did they not go crazy? They were not suppose to work for that was beneath them as a women, and they were not suppose to be adventures, because they could harm themselves. So they were to stick to there own grounds, and wait till the day a suitor would notice them. O my goodness, I would seriously go mad. Not be able to be free, to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. So they learned small skills of admiration, wore ...

The last two and a half days have felt like a week and a half all wrapped in one. I guess it is because I have actually done things, which is quite the leap from when I was doing nothing (clearly stated in the previous writing). My brother Robert (now prefers Rob - but still unable to call him that) and his lovely wife Elisa came to Nashville on Thursday and I left with them for there home on Saturday evening. I have never stayed with them, without any other family so I definitely was very interested how it would go. The drive to Ohio was pleasant, it felt like a breeze compared to 13 hours on the road to Texas. We listened to "The Shack" on CD, got yummy black crouton's, and was startled by a belching sheep in a dog cage as we were leaving Ruby Tuesdays. Ordinary Trip. Yesterday, after the church picnic we had a random idea of filming some strange doll around Cincinnati. We went to the dollar store and found a stuffed bee from "The Bee Movie", every once in a w...
