Shampoo

One of the better parts of staying in somebody else’s house is when you hop into the shower and see that there are a bunch of different kinds of shampoo. At my grandma’s house there are at least three different shampoos in the shower, so every time I take a shower I try out a new shampoo, I savor the smell, see how it makes my hair feel afterwords, the usual you know? The smell of shampoo is very powerful to me, certain scents take me back to when I just moved into my dad’s new house. He bought me a two gallon tub of shampoo from Sam’s Club, took me about two and half years to finish that off, but every time I smell anything similar to it I think of my dad’s house. Other shampoo scents (Old Spice™ mostly) remind me of freshman basketball when we showered at school after our morning practices, I know I can speak for the whole basketball team when I say those were some great times in the shower. You know what I should do, just walk up and down the shampoo at Wal-Mart and sniff each one and then record what each smell reminds me of, could come away with some interesting results. *Forrest Gump voice* Well, that’s all I have to say about that *Forrest Gump voice*

(For of those wanting to know what shampoo I’m using now, it’s Suave for Men shampoo AND conditioner 2 in 1 (cleans and conditions all in one step))

Is this not how it works?

Someday

One of my biggest fears in life is becoming divorced, if I got a divorce I would see it as THE BIGGEST failure in my life no questions asked. Yes my parents are divorced; I have seen firsthand how it affects the parents, the kids, and the rest of the family. It’s not fun and it is not something that’s going to happen in my life. I am going to marry a “tea cup girl” whom I love 100% and she is the right woman for me. I know just about everybody feels this way when they are getting married, that’s the way they should feel, but I want to feel that way about my wife until the day I die. I am going to love her, care for her, look out for her, make her feel like a princess, I will make sure she knows that she is the only one for me. I don’t want to be crude but I want to have sex with my wife until the day comes that I can’t, I truly believe that sex is an important part of a marriage and it should not be taken lightly. I want my wife to be my best friend, a companion that helps me through the ups and downs of life and me doing the same for her. Our relationship will be centered on God and we will raise a family in a Christian atmosphere. I know this isn’t all going to be easy, it’s going to be very hard but you have to work at it, you have to work on it together and by yourself. Look in the mirror, ask yourself what are you doing to help or not help, how can you make yourself better? Pointing fingers, especially at your wife, usually is not the right thing to do. Yes, I am a 20 year old sophomore in college who has never been close to marriage but I like to think that these are some of the core things that a marriage should be based on. My dream is to be the best husband for my wife and a great father to my kids, all the while following Jesus and being the best man of God I can be.

Olivet

This year at revival I started to notice certain things about Olivet, how amazing this university is, how different it is, how blessed it is. I stood at every revival service and watched, as the pastor called people to the altar, a multitude of students go and do you know who followed these students to the altar? My professors, the faculty, the president of Olivet, all went up to pray with them. This alone showed me how awesome Olivet is, name another college that has this happen. Professors here are investing their time into every aspect of our lives, yes knowledge is very powerful but a person’s walk with God is the greatest thing somebody could invest their time in. How honored am I that my professor wants to make me a better man of God let alone a good engineer, how proud are they when they see us leave a completely different person due to our walk with God. Think how Dr. Bowling (Olivet’s president) feels about Olivet, he must be so proud of what big changes happen here, what the hand of God does to thousands of kids on campus. Yes there are rules and there are things that we are kept accountable on but I appreciate it because they are doing that to look out for me, to build me up and to make sure I’m doing the right thing. Olivet is an amazing university and I’m so glad that this is where I am supposed to be.
