"Surfing, alone among sports, generates laughter at its very suggestion, and this is because it turns not a skill into an art, but an inexplicable and useless urge into a vital way of life." MATT WARSHAW. This explains my attempt at progression from kook to surfer, as well as my spiritual journey as a follower of Jesus Christ. Why should I, as one so small, have such an urge to encounter one so grand and powerful as God? Yet, seeking His face is vital to my life.

Repeat

I went back to the gym for the first time in a month today. I am not a body builder. This is just a means to an end. I have about 53 lbs. to lose to feel like I am in shape. Today was rough. I have not been drinking enough water lately. I think I got a little dehydrated and felt sick. On top of that, I started eating differently today, more whole foods and probably added more dairy to the diet, so my digestion was a little off. All of the activity along with that caused me to have indigestion, which made finishing the workout tough. I did it though. I finished, though I took a few more seconds of rest between sets than I was supposed to.

All of this so that I will be more balanced and confident in the water. I need to add some swiming in here sometime.

I am excited that Travis' brother is coming from Canada soon. He is an adventure sports kind of dude, so I think he may be the motivation I need to get the board out and carry it down the 12 flights of stairs in our building to get it to the car. It doesn't fit in the elevator. After I get it down this time, I am taking it to the church building. No more carrying it so much.

I am getting too old to learn to surf I think. My life is starting to look different. MV only has 3 months left to carry the little grommet, then our life will be something totally not what it is now.

End the end, I am still confident that I will be a surfer.
