new blog

so this is the new blog. it'll probably be a while before anyone reads this, but thats alright.
Hannah is at a meeting for mosaic, and i am sitting at the woods @ boulevard park. its pretty nice in here.

so, if you don't know i drive a truck now for a company called Northwest Health Care Linen. one of my deliveries is to 'planned parenthood' on state street. it's interesting. i don't feel uncomfortable there, i mean, i know they do abortions. but they provide lots of other services too. but thats not the point of bringing this up. whati wanted to talk about is a guy i've see there a lot lately. he is on the state street side (come to think of it, i don't think its state, it might be ellis) but on the busy side anyways. he is on his knees facing the building (which is windowless) and praying. i always wonder what he is praying for. it could be comfort for the girls who are having the hardest time of their lives. it could be for the aborted babies, i don't know. last week there was a cop there talking to him, but he was back today.
i guess the point is that he is praying (it could be worse, he could havea gun or a bomb and kill a bunch of ppl, that would be terrible).
i don't know what you would call me, i'm deffinately pro life, i'm not pro choice, but i'm not violently against the women i see weekly. i know that every life is precious to God, and therefore should be to us as well. i think we need to get away from pro choice/ pro life and move toward pro love. there is the ever present fight of when "life" begins, and i can argue till i'm blue in the face that it begins at conception and you can argue till you are blue in the face that its not till heartbeat. hannah had a good point that until common ground can be found, no ground will be covered. we need to agree that no matter, it is the potential for life, and you can't really argue with that. don't get me wrong, i think that abortion is wrong, and very tragic.

i have more thoughts on the subject, but they are not coherant in my mind right now, i might come back to the topic later, we'll see.

last weekend was my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary, so hannah and i went to portland to attend the party. we stayed with my great friend danny while we were down there. it was a lot of fun. after the party we went out to dinner with the fam, and then out to a couple of bars with danny. first stop was this place called mother's. it was good. wee had some cocktails and dessert. then off to henry's (a great place if ever you are in the portland area, they have a beer list a mile long!) after that we met my family and some family friends who we haven't seen in years at this place called the Kennedy school. its a bar of sorts. this company, i belive its called McMinnimens (or somthing along those lines) is a micro brewery in the portland area. they buy old buildings and remodel. this place was an old elementary school. so there was a restaurant in the cafeteria, a couple of the classrooms had been turned into bars (so really there were 3 or 4 bars). there is a hotel and a smoking room and a movie theater that plays just out of cinema movies...pretty cool place.

but my alarm just went off meaning that i have to go and pick up hannah, so till next time
thanks for reading
