ummm

ok so I am supposed to be writing a mission / vision statement for Pilgrimage ...
do you have any idea how hard that is for a organization like Pilgrimage!?!?!

we have 17 different appendages ... how in the world do you filter what we do into one short concise phrase that is fun, memorable, catchy that gets across exactly what it is we do!??!

ugh ...

anybody with some suggestions, comments, snide remarks anything ... please let me know! :)

... understanding take 2

Proverbs 24:3
"by wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;"

So a wise man builds his house on a rock! I get that ... a firm foundation stands the test's of time! yada yada

but here we are at understanding again?

through is the key word here I think ... but what is key about it?
also what do we need to understand? or who is it we need to understand? is this a one time thing? or just what?

but it is through understanding ... it must be a process ... a continual working toward understanding ... so do we ever get there?

and what is established anyway? once you are established ... if you even know what it is to be established or what it looks like when you arrive there ... do you quit seeking understanding?

or does that take you back to the wise man?

... understanding

Proverbs 19:8b says: "He who cherishes understanding prospers!"
...So is this just a biblical thing or is that transcendent of all things!?!?

... does me understanding a web or a photo editing program mean that I am going to prosper? when do I gain full understanding? of the software or of the Bible or of life?!

What is prosperity anyway?! whats this look like?!

... or is the cherishing ... the time spent trying to understand?! ...cherishing the moment ... the process off it all ... the instruction ... the essence of working toward the understanding! is that really where the prosperity lies?!

dinner, dessert , ... painting ??

Ok so Friday night I got to go out to dinner with my two new friends! ... Kim and Katie ... we went to the shops at Montage, walked around and then had dinner at Kildare's Irish Pub ... It was pretty good restaurant but mostly just had a great time of conversation!
Desert was next on the list of things to do ... we did not feel Kildare's had quite what we wanted :) ... so we traveled to a few different locals ... only to end up at the Olive Garden! who would of thought! anyway - we all got three different ones and all shared ... wait I am not sure anyone took a bite of mine!?!? whats up with that! hummm ... so yea we pretty much closed that place down! good times ... thanks girls!

SATURDAY ...

I finally got all of the office server stuff out of the closet in my bedroom! YAY ...
so I got this wild hair to tear the whole closet apart (all the old wood shelving) and paint the whole thing and install a two tier white wire shelving unit into it ... so that is what I have been doing today! ... right now I am at the office working on a few things while the paint dries! ... fun stuff! I almost feel like I am on one of those home makeover shows or something ... Hopefully my closet will be totally done tonight and I will actually know where all of my clothes are! :)

thats all for now! enjoy this beautiful Saturday!

Lunch meetings

So I had this "huge" lunch meeting today! I had no idea that those things could last for over 3 hours! ...what could you possibly talk about for that long?! ... did we talk in circles?!? :) ... actually the time flew by and by the end it was very productive!

The food was great ... had a really good wrap at the Kissam Cafe! a place that totally reminds me of my very own coffee shop back in Ankeny, Iowa! so you may find me hanging out at the kissam cafe from time to time!

It was a good day today ... but a better day is coming tomorrow ... we get our internet hooked up!!! yeah! Yeah!! YEAH !!! finally we can be connected to the world at work! :)

so long for now ... and nope no pictures of lunch food ... the cafe it self ... me, ben or mel, or even what the internet looks like!! sorry you will just have to use your imaginations!!!!

ciao my friends!

rain skid

so I ride my bike to work almost everyday anymore ... it is great and I love it! it saves so much on gas! then I can save that for my non-date weekends! :)


This is a pic of the new version of my Kona Kula Mt. bike ... mine is green and does not have disc brakes like this sweet new one does!

anyway it has been raining here a lot lately not deluging like in Iowa to the point of flooding but enough to make it annoying! so I have the eggbeater clip less pedals right?!?! just say yes we know ... oh maybe i will post a picture so you do know ...

I guess that is a plug for the company that makes them! :)

This is pretty much the exact pair I have! I like the blue! :)

anyway ... I was riding to go home for lunch yesterday and i jumped off of a curb and my foot slipped off of the eggbeater pedal because I had flip flops on and well yes they don't clip into the pedals very well or not at all! :) and when all that happened on wet pavement well yes you guessed it ... I skinned up my beautiful "hand model quality" right knee and my rugged right elbow ... Mom its ok I put that one stuff on it you are always telling me to put on it!!! it is healing quite nicely now! but sorry you don't get to see the gruesome pictures! haha ... there aren't any and it really is not that bad!

so that is your little crazy 5 min. update for the week!

cheers!

Sunday in the Garden

I went to a flower garden shoot with my friend Kim... at her great aunt Anderea's house ...

here are a few of the shots I took that I decided to share with you!




this is Andrea's grandson Matthew ...

FluFFeRnutteR = FUN

Ok so at about 1 am on Sunday morning I was sitting in a parking lot high atop a hill overlooking the Scranton Valley enjoying the night lights & the company of my new friend KIM!
On this hill top I was introduced 2 a North Eastern Pennsylvania delicacy ... either that or just a fav of Kim's ...

Here is the outcome of our dinning experience!

So drum roll please .... the midnight snack of champions!

The great ... the one and only ... Fluffernutter sandwich!


This is the original Fluffernutter sandwich as it was originally made for me! Thanks Kimmi


Here is the alternative twist to the fullernutter sandwich that I concocted this morning! either one is incredibly delicious!


Yes you got it add some very yummy Nestle chocolate chips!

Try it at home you just might like it .... and please give me some feedback on the twist ... I might try and patten it! :)

ENJOY!!!

Ricketts Glen State Park

Since I have a new friend here in Clarks Summit area!
We decided to goto this really sweet state park called Ricketts Glen
the park is amazing! My friend kept leaving her sandals behind ...


so meet my "new friend!" :-) ... or at least her sandals ...

"Beautiful ferns"
RG has so many waterfalls that you cant even really count them all ... but I am sure somebody has ... we had a blast jumping around ... going off trail ...


"Awesome Waterfalls!!!"


taking a million pictures until our batteries ran out ... and even then tried to take more! ... got soaked from head to toe ... not because we got into the waterfalls at first but because God decided to have the whole sky be a waterfall and we got dumped on with some pretty hard core rain!
Good company ... good conversation ... a few funny moments ... and some pretty alright snap shots! I will give you a couple here and then most all of them will be on the photo side!


"In the Falls ..."



Oh yeah BTW:
The move to PA went well ... I still owe you all the story ... but I will try and get to that one of these days! I am still sorta living in boxes ... but I had to dig through all of them yesterday to find everything I needed for the weekend!! :) so stuff is everywhere now...

ok time to run for now ... hopefully more later!

luv ya all
