"I will NEVER do that!!!"

Never say never:

Yep, its so true. Even if it is somewhat self-negataory. I myself have said that I would never do many things that I eventually ended up doing. For example: I guess I was about 13 or 14 when one day my mom drove me past Multnomah School of the Bible (that was its name at the time), and I remember seeing the grounds-keepers pulling weeds in the flower beds. We had a conversation that went something like:

Mom: “When you go to college you will have to work at a job like that.”
Karl: “I don't want to go to college, and if I did I will not pull weeds.”
Mom: “Maybe you will be in that very spot someday pulling weeds working to pay for your education at Multnomah!”
Karl: “I will NEVER go to Multnomah!”

So, here I am a graduate of Multnomah Bible College. It took me longer than most, and yes, I did end up in that very spot pulling weeds thinking “Oh my word... I said I would never do this!”

Life is full of ironies

I also said at some point that I would never travel to South America. I thought it was to boring, to close, and was far more interested in Europe. Ha! I am now attached for life to South America! I still maintain a very high interest in Europe, but I have a feeling I will travel to Brazil a lot more than anywhere else in the world in the future.

I also said I would never blog...
