The Future and Eternity

For some reason, during the summer, I always become nostalgic for fall and winter. I get strong urges to do things like rake leaves and make gingerbread houses and go to the apple orchard. Maybe I'll make a summer gingerbread home when I get back. I'LL DO THAT!!!

I've also been thinking about my future and what I want to do, and all that's really definite is that I want to be out doing something active, something relating to science, something exploratory. So, I think I want to look into geology. Then I can do a variety of things relating to field work, archeological digging, the ocean, and even going into space. Last night, I heard astronaut Alan Bean speak, and he talked about the opportunity to do numerous things in one's life. In fact, he is now an artist. I hope I can participate in music and performance whatever I end up doing.

I think it's interesting how much I consider myself always trying to rise above earthly things yet am so drawn to geology and earth science...essentially immersing myself in the earth.

I really do spend most of my time thinking about God, though. Especially as of late. Being around atheists makes me want to laugh out of how foolish I think their reasoning is but also cry for the misunderstanding that I see. Hmm. More on that later. Right now it's time to go before this entry gets too long.
