&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;the clerk put that i gave him more money than i actually&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;did. but this didnt happen once, but twice. I go through the line outside and give him some cash and a check to deposit. i g&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;ot the receipt back and  i drove up a little towards the exit before leaving i noticed it said i gave him $30 more cash than i actually did, but he got the check amount right. so i sat there looking at the exit...looking at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;the parking lot.....exit...parking lot....exit... parking. and i kept thinking. man this is awesome. i should just drive off. its only $30... like they are gunna miss it, right. well the good me said NOPE. so i parked, and went insi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;d&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;e, and told them. so the lady went to the guy clerk to correct his error. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;hen i got back into my car i looked over the new transaction receipt. The guy corrected the cash amount that i had given him but this time he added the $30 to the check ammount he received. so now i'm thinkn' maybe its meant to be. maybe god want&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt; me to have this 30 dollars(cheesey i know), but anything that i could think of to rationalize keeping the money. I couldn't think of any reason to keep it. i'm mad at myself for not being creative enough. the only thing that kept going through my mind was integrity. im not writing this to show everyone that im a good person. I'm not.

The main thing i talked about is obvious. comments with your own thoughts on the topic are what i want so give them to me. verses would be cool too. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ME&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;DIt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;atio&lt;/span&gt;n&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;was interested in the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;book at the beginning chapters. I was excited to read and be able to &lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;discuss&lt;/span&gt; it, but after I realized that the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;participation in discussion was becoming mundane, I kind of got turn off by it. I love being able to hear other people's thoughts on&lt;/span&gt; topics that are hard to answer. So I'm hoping the next &lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;book will be very interesting. The only chapter that really affected me and made me think was the one on meditation&lt;/span&gt;. so i will talk about that one. I only read prob only read through 5-7 chapters. but the meditation was my favorite. I couldn't really relate to other chapters or they just seemed too repetitive.I never really thought about mediation and&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt; usually just left it to Buddha and yoga tree hugger people. I always thought meditation was some creepy way to enter into self realization or getting psychologically high. After reading that chapter I realized that important people in the bible meditated too. Meditation isn't crossing your legs (which is already uncomfortable for my inflexible body) and humming.I had never thought of it as a means of just "listening." My prayer life was listening AND talking. If you know me well enough, you &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;know I'm not one to be able to sit still for a while and much less shut up. So meditating seemed out of the question, but prayer was simple for me(maybe too simple). I've tried to meditate a couple of times now but never&lt;/span&gt; really can grasp it. It also talked about being in constant meditation. Can meditation be just looking for answers to prayer from God&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Does it have to be sitting quietly&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;¿&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;So now I'm constantly just praying and hoping that when I'm "listening" at random times in my life that I can see&lt;/span&gt;/hear God's presence or voice(the whole voice thing is a completely different topic).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35998505-5450867755580627197?l=tapewormtim.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tapewormtim.blogspot.com/feeds/5450867755580627197/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35998505&amp;postID=5450867755580627197&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35998505/posts/default/5450867755580627197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35998505/posts/default/5450867755580627197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tapewormtim.blogspot.com/2007/03/whs-mediti0.html' title='Wh☼&apos;s MeditÆ╩i0ñ'/><author><name>Mr. T</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01038112041917004240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p190/Tape_Worm_bucket/meBW.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35998505.post-7435900889800449197</id><published>2007-01-12T22:03:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2007-01-12T22:03:59.568-06:00</updated><title type='text'>regina spektor - on the radio</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-1709522445396817833&amp;hl=en" flashvars=""&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;so i heard a new singer.

type='text'>pecan smoked chicken shindig</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;we smoked some chicken tonight at my friends house. i really hope i dont have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt; poisoning. i dont think we cooked it long enough but it tasted good. we smoked it with branches from my friend's "across the street" neighbor's pecan tree. that consisted of going in their yard and climbing a ladder with a saw and cut a huge branch off. at first we did the wood of the branches then we said "it needs more smoke" so we did the leaves too.   his dad was giving us tips over the phone while we were in the process of smoking the chicken and his dad said "whatever you do, dont use the leaves they burn to hot and the ash&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;es will fly all over the food." too late. we ended up catching the grass under the smoking pit on fire b/c we had the fire so hot. the ski&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;n on the chiken was pretty charred but not to shaby...still able to be eaten. his french roomate baked a cake from scratch and i cooked the french bread. it was a good meal. so if i die...who wants dibs on my ipod and radio?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div
