Well today is my Sabbath, I know some might question why Sunday is not my Sabbath and am I out of Gods will because I take my God day in the middle of the week (also known as hump day). The answer is no! I usually have to do things in church on Sunday and Tuesday which makes those days out and hardly a day of rest. So after two months of 3-4 hours of sleep a night, school, exams, young adult gearing back up and people peppering me with questions about girls, marriage and a non existent love life, I finally got a day off. Thank God for day seven. I got lots of sleep last night, woke up, worked out a little bit, took a shower prayed lots (I like to do it in the shower no one bugs me there) and have been doing a whole lot of nothing and I plan to do this all freakin day long.
I used to value my alone time but think I took it for granted, so God has shown me how important it really is these last few months, and man am I grateful for this one day. It might not happen again for a while so I’m trying to enjoy it as much as I can. Thanks for reading and God bless.

Well it’s been a really long time since I wrote a legitimate post so I think I will call this one AN ODE TO ME
What does it look like to live the life of me, well for starters I’m a Christian so being Indian and a Christian (with a Jewish Star of David that looks like a giant vinyl decal on my arm) I get a massive amount of ridicules questions thrown at me constantly.
Here is a sample: Oh is your family Christian? And I say yes. How did that happen? I say well there was this whale and it was beached so my parents went out to rescue it and as my mom pushed this massive 100 foot long 17 story beast back into the water with her bare hands and rolled up pant legs to her knees, my dad climbed up on to its head to look at the blow hole and he saw a little man inside. The man asked for help and said his name was Jonah so my dad being the wise man that he is said hey have a beer man it will make all your troubles go away. Jonah was very thankful and said hey my fair skinned friend (because my dad has really white skin for an Indian guy most people think he’s Portuguese) I hope God blesses you, and my dad thought about that and said to himself I would like God to bless me. Then cracked a beer himself while sitting on the slowly reversing whale when he did he heard a voice from in the can, it was a winning talking can and it said if you follow Jesus I will give you 3 boys and no girls and that’s how we got saved. As a side note the whale was fine and my mom got the key to the city from the mayor which was made of chocolate and we ate it as a family. (quick note I love stupid questions like how did that happen?).
Next question? Is Mandeep your first and last name like Man Deep and I say why yes it is and Parihar is my nick name not my last name and my family we all share the same nick name after our first and middle names. Ok moving on, next will be (and people actually say this) I’m so glad you are here to minister to the Indian people of our community to bridge the gap for us are you excited?. I usually say I’m not really Indian I have the same disease Michael Jackson had but just in reverse my first name is actually Man not Mandeep so I can see how people get confused. (I like naive people) Sometimes I think that I should buy these people helmets so they can walk around and enjoy everyday life pain free. Well that’s my rant because its really late at night and no one actually reads this stuff so I can humor myself as much as I want and I do. You can’t see it but I’m killing my self laughing right now I hope you are to.

Good Night
