Men have come to speak of revelation as long ago given and done, as if God were dead. It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was, that he speaketh, not spake...

The need was never greater of new revelation than now.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1838

my worst enemy.

So this year for Halloween I didn't dress up. I know, I know, many of you were upset by this (sorry Kim) because I usually have, may I say, unusually creative costumes...just sayin. But really, nothing beats Quailman from 2006...


So I'm too scared to try to top that.

Anyway! I ended up going down to Utah with about 8 friends and we ended up going to the Haunted Forest in American Fork. Terrifying. So so scary. Even though it was all fake and stuff, it got me good. But I also get scared easily. (Jaws still terrifies me).

But the greatest part of the Haunted Forest was making a complete idiot of myself!! And because of this, I hate trees. Yes, trees are my new worst enemy (goodbye snow!!). So there I was, halfway through the Haunted Forest (which is designed incredibly might I add...), and at this point I was in the back of our group. We went into a tunnel that went beneath the ground and eventually came out the other end above ground. As we exited this tunnel, OUT OF NOWHERE the Texas Chainsaw Massacre person-it-killer popped out behind our group and started chasing, who else?, me!!! With his scary mask and loud chainsaw roaring it really creeped me out! Obviously I wasn't scared for my life or anything, but it was creepy being in the back of the group! So I start BOOKING it, full speed, to get in the front of our group, knocking over people as I scrambled. So looking behind me, with chainsaw man two feet behind me, I make it about fifteen steps, turn my head in front of me just in time to WHACK!!!!! run straight into a tree.

oh man, that is awesome. i can totally picture you running scared.

the last time i went to a haunted forest (fall 2001) was in idaho and one of the people dressed up as something scary was a "friend" of mine and started calling me by name and following us around calling my name. it was very very frightful. it totally tripped me out.

anyway, now he's my facebook friend.
