Recently, upon the arrival of nice weather, I have become reacquainted with my love for front porch sitting. I enjoy it most on my days off when I have more freedom in my sleeping schedule and I can get up earlier in the morning, make a pot of delicious coffee, take my Bible or journal or some other book out with me, and sit in my lawn chair out on the front porch and enjoy the start of the day.
Mornings are the best time to make full use of a front porch (evenings take second, because there are usually more bugs then). There's just something about sitting outside early in the morning with one of my favorite beverages and watching the day begin. It's like God knew exactly what He was doing when he created the person that thought of front porches. I like to think that He did this just for me, as a present.

I have been trying to read more lately. Over the past few years, for whatever reason(s), I have put off reading on my own as a habit. I love reading, and in my younger years I read all the time, but somewhere around the time I came to college I quit doing it with any consistency. There have been many books that I have picked up and started to read, but that one sitting was as far as I ever got with it. And then I would pick up another one and do the same. But recently I have successfully finished two books. They took me a little longer than I was hoping for, but nevertheless they are finished. I consider it a successful progression toward a better me that I plan on creating, with help from God, of course.

Good for you! Though I wish I was more consistent in my outside reading efforts. Thank you for the call yesterday...even though you were just returning my call and you don't care about me at all, you heartless bastard!
xoxoxox
Hmm. Indeed. He did create the porch mornings for you.
By the way, that comment you left was the funniest thing i've read in a while.
bsnzjv. these are the letters i have to type beow in the box.
hey dawg!
what books did you read?! I'm very curious.
the wife and i both read this post and laughed at the thought of someone inventing front porches.
miss ya man.
also, it was great getting to hang out so much before the move.
lemme know if you're in CO soon. Or later.
whatever.
take it easy man!
why am i the one who always leaves so many comments? *sigh*
dude, i plugged The Avett Brothers into Pandora.com and man, I LOVE these guys!
Distraction #74 and I Killed Sally's Love (live) are especially hilarious and good, particularly the latter of the two.
take care man. thanks for all the good music!
you read Tuesday's with Morrie? I made fun of one of my middle school students for reading that book...in a positive, uplifting way of course.
Was it any good? feel free to write as much as you like on this subject b/c the more i know the better.
and i'm sure we could maybe work something out for the CO visit...i will let you know asap!
I like the back porch. I feel like my life is less on display. When I get to the DR. I will send you a picture of our roof. It beats front and back porches combined.
Thanks for your prayers. Evie is doing better.
The back porch is elevated and screened in. It has an awesome view. The house is on a hill so the roof overlooks the city. Its really pretty.
candace and i went to the park today to play frisbee, read and i played a little geetar.
reminded me of our jam session in the park. I can solo a *very* little bit on occasion, if it's in the right key.
word out man!
Its time for a new post.
We water sealed the roof today. The sealant was baby blue. Our roof is so pretty now. I will eventually remember to send you a picture. Or you could come down and sit on it yourself. Bring your own cigar.
i read your comment, laughed aloud, read it to candace, and laughed again.
miss ya man.
thanks for knowing me as well as (or better) than i know myself.
