Elijah and love

Admittedly I've been slacking when it comes to posting a new blog on occasion. With the close of the semester I hope to start adding more to this but we'll see.
Well it seemed it was only a matter of time before a post about love made its way on to this blog. Such things are fated to happen at one point or another and it seems that now is the time for it to happen here. So, recently my mother gave birth to my new little brother. He is number 5 in the set and with him we can see the male numbers in this family start to tip the scale against the females. This all happened last weekend on the 9th I believe. I was constantly told that I should act more excited but I wasn't sure what the appropriate response to everything was to be. I decided it would be appropriate to do a little jig and that would suffice and that's all anyone's going to get out of me.
After a nice car ride where my grandmother would constantly remind me to drive the speed limit and take every oppurtunity to critique my driving, we got to the hospital to visit my mother and see this kid. When they finally brought him in I couldn't help but just stare at this little bundle of blankets with his tiny eyes just looking at everything. I looked at this kid and you know I knew I loved him instantly.
It's weird, I mean this kid just came into the world and this is the first time I've seen him but I love him as much as a brother can love his sibling. I want to protect him, guide him, teach him, and help him to grow. I want to do anything for this kid just as I would like to for my other siblings. I've been thinking about this love I have for him and realized that this is just how my parents must have felt when each one of their children were born. This love, that I should love someone I've just met but have been waiting for, it's crazy to me. This is how it is with God's love, the way Jesus loves us.
God loves you the moment he sees you, the love is there waiting for you. It doesn't make much sense but at the same time it makes perfect sense. His love is just that endless and he has it for each and everyone of his foolish lost children. He wants to guide us, teach us, show us the way to go, protect us, and do anything for us. It's all something crazy to me but, I'm grateful for that love. You know this kid is too young to hold the idea that I exist when I'm not in his line of sight but that's ok with me I still love him and so even if God isn't in your line of sight, he still loves you. Well that's all I've got for now just do me a favor and say a prayer for this new little brother of mine. His name is Elijah he weighs about 6 pounds is no bigger than my fore arm and was born with as much hair as I had on my head when I was born. He'll some day show up his older brother.

Oh yeah do you know why the older brother is born first? It's to protect the little brothers and sisters who come after him don't forget it.

Good Luck

I am one seriously lucky individual. I mean really, I have an abnormal amount of luck on my side, blessings even. I have to say something because it's just true. I've managed to pull my butt out of situations that would have ended terribly for me. I've found that I am that guy who just misses something horrific happening to him. Hey I'm not complaining, if anything I am incredibly grateful for such a blessing. I think it's coming from my Irish side or something. Why am I talking about this? Well, this girl next to me has been watching some weird Asian show or movie or I don't know but she's been watching it. I don't understand it at all. The subtitles are in Japanese I think and the title of the whole thing is Good Luck and that's what got me thinkin about my own luck. Whatever it is she's watching I can't stop watching it. I don't know why. I can't understand it but I'm just sucked in and adding my own dialogue for the characters. We have main dude #1 who had severly injured his leg after having fallen from a plane during an evacuation or something. He seems to be trying to deal with deep emotional issues so that he may once again take his place in the cockpit and fly the skies. There's this girl I've entitled some girl and she's all about this main dude. He rejects her due to his own deep emotional scaring but she helps him to find the passion he needs to fight and get back to his job. This is at least my interpretation of everything and all. Unfortunately she's stopped watching it now so I'm just left hanging. How long before he flys again? Can their be anything between main dude and some girl? What the hell are they all saying? My friends we have hit some dark times in this saga and may never find the closure necessary to move on.
