'how comely are the feet of those who declare good news of good things'

this weather has me wanting love more tangible

so the reunion is officially cancelled. i really could have used it. it breaks my little heart, but i guess i'll live. i'm trying to figure out a way to get to the district convention in mexico in august, but seeing as i'm still mostly unemployed, i can't imagine it will actually happen. we'll see.

it's my convention this weekend. it's gonna be great. i was mad cause it's so early this year. i know that's a stupid reason to be mad, but it just feels wrong. then i got a copy of the program, and now i can't wait. it looks like it's going to be scrumtrulescent. and i've been reading my proclaimers book about all the landmark conventions in the 20s and 30s. what an experience they would have been. to witness rutherford's 'advertise, advertise, advertise' talk, or to stand proudly with the great crowd of other sheep, finally understanding your role in God's organization, or to support the resolution to go by the official name 'Jehovah's Witnesses'...

i wonder if in the future people will look back at our time and think about how thrilling it would have been to be a part of it. i suppose they will. but i wonder what things will stand out to them. maybe the release of books like 'draw close to Jehovah'. that's a good book. or maybe all the prophecies that we're finally clearly understanding... daniel, isaiah, hosea, amos... all of'em. they just don't seem as, um... enthusiastic in our day. i'm gonna work on that for the next convention. for any new announcements, releases, or resolutions, i'm going to leap to my feet and cheer, instead of just applauding politely.
