2 cans of paint???

last sunday at encounter caleb asked us what God was saying to us... (kind of asked that, or something like that... not the point). there was 2 cans of paint in front of me (jo sitting on the floor) and a paint brush on top (they just finished painting the fellowship hall, natural tones, very soothing) and i think i heard something, or impressed something, or glanced something from God. (God talks to me like a glance, like if you look from one thing to another, and you see most of the stuff in between to , but not all of it... but understand all that you have seen but maybe not every detail...) What I got from the cans of paint with the paint brush on top, was that it is important to put more than one layer of paint on the wall if you want the right effect... espcially when you are trying to replace a dark colour with a light one to brighten up a room. (a somewhat frustrating and tedious ordeal for those of you that do not paint) It is also very important that you dont use that one can of paint all up in one room if you plan on painting more than just that one room. So that kind of translated to me not to spread myself short, and that the walls in my life that God seems to keep on painting have not been brought out into the light enough yet. Get it? Made sense to me... I guess thats all that really matters.

joel sick or depressed?

I'm here at the parents house for the weekend and some, and my brother joel has been sleeping the whole time I have been here. Typically I would let him sleep, but I know that 2 am is a cruddy time to have to run outside in my PJ's to go looking for him. I think he might be depressed, but since his talking seems to be selective, (spoiled handicapt kid thinks we can read his mind now) there is really no way of knowing. My parents fired one of his workers just today, maybe he is avoiding that whole situation. Must go keep him up... heard him stir... take care!
