Just a thought from one of our members.
I was thinking about how short a time we all have left before we start to leave and go our separate ways. I counted up the H2O's that I have left before I start college. I've got about 13 left. :( Besides that, I only have about 60 more Orchestra Friday's. If you aren't crying yet, then I'll continue.........

OK, I know who posted that. No, I'm not crying, but way to go! :( Enjoy the time we have. It reminds me of a verse from one of the songs on the CARS soundtrack.
"Good times and bad times
Neither one lasts..."
But you know, think of it this way! Good times do last because once we get to heaven, it'll be just one long, everlasting good time! Right? And there's always memories!

Well I'm not sniffling, yet. I find it amazing just how fast time does go though. And it seems so many times I look back and it's like, what have I done in that time? Usually nothing worth while so to speak.
For me I can't believe that in one year and two weeks I won't even be a teen any more. Ahhhhh:) That means I only have 11 or 12 h2o's left! But with whatever time I have left in h2o, and orchestra, I plan to fully enjoy it if I can. Alright I'm going to sign off so I can go cry now. Sniff!

Estrella de Plata,
Your comment... memories ARE the things that make me cry.. remembering all the mostly good and wonderful times I've had with you all.. H2O's, orchestra performances, standing around talking about anything, NUTS, etc. Stuart said that he hasn't found anyone at BJU that likes to play Frisbee... how much will my life change as I go to college in the up and coming future? Will I meet new friends, slowly start to lose contact with everybody that I know now... or will I hopefully be able to keep in contact with my friends that I have now, and still be able to make new friends? Life holds too much... goes by like a vapor, yet it is much too long, and I am afraid that I will be as weary and earth-sick as an Elf by the time that I die. But, as you said, those of us who have accepted God's saving grace and Christ's shed blood to cover our sins, we will meet again in Heaven, and what a glorious reunion that will be!! How wonderful to able to be with each other in eternity... I hope we don't get tired of seeing everybody too much.. :)
Let's try to make the most of the reason God has placed us on this earth, to be shining lights in a dark world. To show God's love to ALL people, and to honour Him above all else. This is, btw, the reason I am wanting to start a 'bible study' at orchestra. To be able to honour God, the Creator of the Universe, (that's mind-boggling right there), by our actions... how wonderful.
But I am rambling, and am starting to feel like a Greek philosopher... perhaps I can add that to my list of nicknames.. "Philosopher"... I think I like it.. :)

O why? Why do the days pass so slowly during the week before an h2O? Time seems to slow, and minutes and hours drag by. Then, on that special Saturday night, time makes up for its slowness and seems to fly. Suddenly its over far quicker then it should have been. Everyone is saying goodbye. As I drive away, I reminence on what the evening held, how much fun I had had, and how much I can't wait to the next H2O. So, Time, please don't drag, but please don't fly.

You know, Philosopher, you couldn't have said that better!
The days in this passed week have dragged in my anticipation, and yet I fear the minutes and hours have flown so quickly I have not been able to get everything done that needs doing! Ironic isn't it? How when you wish time to move quicker it seems to slow down, and yet when you are spending time in the company of good friends you blink and it's gone. I have so been looking forward to this next h2o. But I regret knowing the knowledge that all too soon it will be a thing of the past, and all I will have left are the memories. The laughter from our games and the joys and sorrows of our prayers.
So here's to the memories of this coming h2o, and the antagonization of waiting for the next.
