Matthew 16:24-27

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.'"

Well here we are...


Hey hey peeps. So, here we are...finally in good old New York City. For those of you who are curious (and for those who are not) it is SO hot here. Oh, hot WITH humidity. Fun stuff. I miss Colorado already.

Today has been an intense set of affairs. To begin with, it was an extraordinarily early morning with next to no sleep. Went to the airport early, drove through rush hour, found my bags to be each two pounds overweight, argued with a ticket lady from Frontier Airlines (I hereby publicly apologize, whoever you are, for my irritability. It was not your fault), thought I had missed my flight and subsequently dashed through the airport only to find that my watch was one hour fast, ate a crumbly (and entirely too expensive) muffin that was not very good, boarded a flight with a weeping baby, sat next to a very nice man who slept on my shoulder most of the way, engaged a taxi cab to Manhattan (the driver of which was not only very friendly, but extraordinarily efficient, and lastly lugged all five pieces (and about 260 lbs total) of my luggage up four flights of stairs. A good first day in New York, I would say.

Though, to be fair, there were actually a great many good things about today as well. I'm just too tired, cranky, and headachy to remember them all.

Oh wait...I'm here in one piece (and not mugged--you know who you are). That is a good thing. Above is a photo. I did not take it. I simply added it to make this page more aesthetically pleasing.

Well, I'm going on a walk . Update tomorrow.
