today i was sheduled to have high school bible study at the church at 2:00. earlier i called all my high schoolers to remind them, at about 1:30 or so, i drove on over to the church. i went in, upstairs to the high school room and set my stuff down on one of the couches. upstairs smelled really bad... like something was dead somewhere... it reminded me of my grandmas house when she never cleaned out the bird cages and she had cats living inside who always messed on the floor... i strolled down to the kitchen and filled my water bottle and then i checked the youth mail box in the office just out of curiosity. locking the office back up, i went back upstairs and turned on the air conditioning so it would be nice and cool when people arived for bible study. i grabbed my little black journal and a pen from my bag and went and sat down on the edge of the stairs, upstairs. as i was writing in my book i noticed that the air conditioning was humming through the vents and i could hear the clicking of the timer on the wall slightly above me. i went on writing in my book. i had left the downstairs door open and outside i could hear the wind rustling through the leaves of a tree, but i also thought i heard other sounds... shuffling sounds, like someone was down there. i went down and looked around but saw no one, so i took my place again upstairs on the edge of the stair. i could still hear the deep hum of the air conditioner above me, but i also heard a distint rustling sound and my heart skipped a beat... this time i knew it wasnt my imagingation... i looked above me and wondered if there were rats or mice running around up there, but then in the window, i saw a fly bumping and buzzing against the window. i sighed and began writing again when i thought i heard a noice outside again, so getting up i walked back down the stairs towards the door, but as i got to the door something caught my attention in the doorway of the basement and i looked down there. there was a light on that i dont remember being on when i first got there earlier. i stepped outside and collected myself and went back in and ventured downstairs. all was still and quiet... there was no one. quickly i turned off the light and went outside. the air was sweet and cool outside, and after gathering my thoughts i decited that i did not want to be in the church alone anymore, so quicly i rushed upstairs again to the high school room, collected my things, turned off the air conditioning and went back downstairs. i locked the door and colapsted on the grass by the tree in the courtyard where i stayed, wiriting in my book, untill one of my high schoolers arived. sitting outside on the grass was way more apealing to me then, than going back inside so we ended up sitting out there for the next hour and half just talking since he was the only one who showed up for bible study anyway.

so, i scared myself to death. ive been alone in that church millions of times, during the day and at night in the dark, but never as frightened as i was today. silly imagination.

it was really nice to sit outside on the grass with michael though. just chillin... i didnt even end up doing the bible study i had planned, we just talked about stuff. that was awesome.

i made dinner tonight... i sauted some of our home grown bell peppers with a red onion, olive oil and garlic pepper then i put them on bread with tomatos and a little bit of cheddar cheese and put them in the oven for a little while to melt the cheese... served with sun chips and milk... delicious.

also, i fixed all the art up on my art page and i added some new art... check it...


today was beautiful... peace...
