Smack dab in the middle of nowhere

So we’re home. After a combined 30 hours and then some driving, we’re home. We got up this morning at 8 feeling odd. We would have been at Watermark for an hour setting up, but instead we were moping around looking for the coffee. I was a sad moment. But we’re glad to be home. Today we’ll see the family, notably my French grandma. I will gain 20lbs by the time I leave her house tonight.
Yesterday we went looking for a place to live. Then we starting looking at what this semester will cost us, realizing once more, that living on faith isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It’s tough as heck. Anyway, the magic number, once apt. cost, food, and tuition is added, is $7000. That’s what we’re going to need. So whoever is reading this, ask God right now to bless my pagan brother with the million dollar winning ticket so he can pay my way through college. Just kidding, but not really. Part of me is fully confident that the Lord will provide as he has in the past, but the other part of me wants to fear and try and figure out a way on my own. This scarcity gene is hard to kill. It creeps up without warning. Anyway, it’ll be a ride, one that will surely bring more lessons and growth.
So we’re here for 4 weeks. I’m going to do nothing by write and read. But not for school, just for Roach. People don’t get that name when I tell them. They can’t figure out how that applies. I guess they just miss the point.
Missing Watermark,
Roach out.

WE MISS YOU MAN!!!
It's like something is missing since you been gone.
Name that tune
Since You're Gone
since you're gone
the nights are gettin' strange
since you're gone
well, nothing's makin' any sense
since you're gone
I stumbled in the shade
since you're gone
everything's in perfect tense, well
I can't help it
when you fall apart
'd I (and I) can't help it
guess you better start
that is forgettin' about you
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
nights are gettin' strange
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
thrownin' it all away
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
the nights are gettin' strange
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
thrownin' it all away
I can't help it
everything's a mess
I can't help it
you're so treacherous
when it comes, to tenderness
(since you're gone)
I can't help it
everything's a mess
I can't help it
you're so treacherous
oh, where's that tenderness?
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
I missed the peak sensation
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
I took the big vacation
(since you're gone)
well, never feel sedate
(since you're gone)
well, the moonlight ain't so great
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
(since you're gone)
well, I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)
when the night (?)
(since you're gone)
strange
I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)
well, since you're gone
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
since you're gone
(since you're gone)
I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)

Many people will not get the "Roach" name... do not become weary in being "the roach" for at the proper time you will reap a harvest if you do not give up.

People didn't get Jesus either.

Yeah, what Deur said.

Hey Wade, that was kind of homo-erotic, wasn't it?

You are THE ROACH!
