hey everyone, im doing better, right? im trying haha its hard. this last week my whole team went to mexico city to see the current AIM class, but i only went for Friday and Saturday. It was a hard decision to make but for a number of reasons, i wanted to be here in Leon for the rest of the week. Im glad i stayed, i had my friend David stay the nite and we went out to the movies and had coffee, which was good because i havent spent enough time with him lately. I also cleaned the house since Donovans parents were coming and are now here. tomorrow is Valentines Day. being the person that i am, i was already pretty skeptical of this holiday in the first place (maybe more so since i dont have any girlfriend or wife to express my love to) but i had to http://www.wikipedia.com/ valentines day to find out where the origins come from. turns out, St. Valentine is a martyr of the early christian church who was buried in Rome on the 14th of February. Has nothing to do with love, somehow Chaucer put this into the mix and now its a world wide holiday. Now tell me, how would the follower of God, of Jesus Christ, be supposedly killed for his sake, and wind up having a holiday named after him? Not that i really care, because i know that Jesus should be celebrated every day in my heart and by my actions. MAybe someday i can explain this to my wife, in hopes that i dont have to buy her chocolate and roses. just joking, but seriously, we need to keep the focus in our lives on Christ!!!!

I am sure there are a few ladies who are willing to sacrifice for the holiday for you. And just for a quick note...have fun telling that to your wife one day.
