things that make me angry

over the last month, i have realized there are a few things that really makes my blood boil, and make me want to hit something really hard...
1) people that sell drugs to kids
2) parents the hurt their kids (physically or emotionally)
3) kids that take the second change they are given, and flush it down the toilette
4) kids with a lot of potential, that only do the bare minimum

i am not always sure if i have righteous anger when it comes to these things... but i have come to realize that there are 2 things that can really screw up a persons life 1) messed up parents and 2) drugs.... and number 1 usually leads to number 2!!! it makes me thankful for the family i grew up in. They might not be perfect, but they gave me the best start to life i could have asked for...

update

its been a while since i updated my blog. sorry for those who actually log on to see if i have written anything lately.... re-entry has been a bit harder then anticipated, but God has blessed me with some really cool people to talk to, and to help me see things in perspective. i have realized that this is a process and that it will take time for me to adjust.

i have started working with a youth ministry. God gave me a passion for youth, even before i joined the ship, and its really cool to realize that i am doing what i have always dreamed i will be doing! i also have a part time job at a high school, teaching Life Orientation. the kids are little devils, but i am having fun with them... again.... what an awesome opportunity to work with youth AND most of the kids are english, so i get to practise my english as well.... i over heard some of them taking bets on whether or not i am english or afrikaans.... must be my good english teachers on the ship (hie hie hie).

there is not much else to say really... but at least you all know that i am still alive, and that re-entry has not got the better of me yet....
