Tat Splat

Tattoo

It seems like tattoos are popping up all around me. I was reading a blog post the other day by a guy who had people send him pictures of their tattoos. And just this morning one of the lady’s at work could barely put her jacket on because of her resent tat. So I decided it was a sign from God that I needed to display mine to the world.

When I was a freshmen in college it was the very trendy thing to get a tattoo (I think it still is for some reason). It was also the trend at the time to do tribal tattoos. Not wanting to be like everyone else I decided that I was going to do something other than JUST a tribal tattoo. I was going to add a cross into the picture (witch is just as trendy). I have to say that I’m very happy with what I have though. I have people ask me all the time if I regret it, and I just have to say that I can’t do anything about it. So I enjoy it. My tat is part of who I am and a constant reminder of what has been done for me.

And yes it hurts.

At least God knows what He’s doing… Part 2

The following is part 2 of a 5 part series. Go here for Part 1

I decided it was time to get something to eat, and after eating I Seattle for the week, I decided Wendy’s was probably the best idea for lunch with my remaining budget.  After getting my ¼ pound hamburger (sorry April and Alf) with a medium drink (witch was really like a large) and medium fries, I proceeded to sit down on a bench and watch the planes take off and the baggage handlers loose peoples luggage (sorry Donald).  About the time I finished my French fries, Diego showed up to tell me that he had gotten his laptop.

I was excited for the man, but he hadn’t gotten a chance to go get his Bible.  Looking at the time, I told him that he probably had just enough time to go get it.  He agreed and off he was again.  This was the last time that I saw him in my story.

So once again I thought the adventure was over.  I figured that he would get his Bible, catch his plane, and that would be it…the end.  So I got up and proceeded to head to my gate.  We had to drop off the rental car early so we wouldn’t have to pay for another day.  So, I had a lot of time to waste waiting for my plane.  So I made my way to one of the Starbucks to set up camp and relax for a couple of hours.  But God had other plans.
