This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993). Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree. What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience. We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you? Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful. Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Experience In the Rain
July 18, 1995
Jonathan is 15
Last night I was outside and it began to rain, so I came inside. However, I'd forgotten something outside, so as I went outside, the pouring rain stopped immediately, as if just for me. As I opened the door to come back inside, the pouring rain began again. It was as though the rainstorm had stopped for me.
"Very cool," I said to myself.

Dear God,
As I'm sitting here tonight, I realize that I do believe in you much as I always have, but I'm trying to figure out how you fit into my life. I know you're in all around me, but maybe I'm unsure of how much control I want you to have in my life and so I suppress you. Help me not to do this.

In Mexico on Love
Jonathan is 15
In my life, whenever I go somewhere that I don't know many people, I am always on the lookout for love; subconsciously afraid that if I am not watching and looking, I may miss or mess up the chance... not by much, but I'll just barely miss it.

When people walk into my room, they may notice many plants around. People often find this interesting and some find it strange. But I usually don't notice plants that way.

Talking About My Generation - Stuck
May 1995
Jonathan is 15
Perhaps Dr. Jack Kevorkian does have the right to assist people in suicide. Perhaps he should be allowed to help them end their lives.
Perhaps.
But if Dr. Kevorkian has the right to assist suicide, then perhaps suicide should be a legalized act. In fact, if there are going to be no laws against suicide, then perhaps there's nothing wrong with committing suicide.
Perhaps.
But if there's no reason to say that suicide's wrong, perhaps then we should all end our lives at a time and place we choose.
Perhaps.
