hope is essential, yet be mindful not to become too hopeful. had recently convinced myself something was going to happen, but it fell through. disappointing. instead of just being cautiously optimistic, i convinced myself it would happen. had started to dream, fantasize. big mistake. oh well, i know i'm making the right decision. that's all that matters. there will be other times to travel.
looking forward to tomorrow night. high school lock-in. granted, i'm not in high school anymore. nor in college, for that matter. far, far removed. but friday night, from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., is the high school lock-in at the church. although i won't arrive on time due to work obligations, i will get to the church just in time for a praise and worship session, followed by an all-night basketball session. i'm looking forward to showing these kids my moves on the court. haha. actually, i'm looking forward to reaching out to some of the youth and starting to develop relationships. i've started doing this somewhat on wednesday nights, but this will give me a better chance to bond with some of the youth on their level. it's going to be a blast!
was looking forward to testing my ps2 skills in an ncaa tourney on saturday at babbage's here in alexandria. winner gets a free copy of the new game that comes out on tuesday. only problem -- tourney starts at 2 p.m. i have to be at work at 3. bummer.
nothing major, but it's a byline. will have one in tomorrow's paper. doing a story on the weather. it's getting hot. highs next week expected to be 98. it's 100 in shreveport today! meteorologist tells me august will be "above normal" ... aka, it's getting hot in here!

Stay cool if you can and enjoy the church lock in. Remember not to get hurt on the BB court Ha Ha!!
Keep dreamin', Kiddo. Sometimes it's only the timing that's off. Regardless, faith is the substance of things HOPED for. Thanks for sharing. Love you both.
