A Journal Entry From June 1, 1984
By JLP | August 3, 2007
Here’s a little Friday humor for you as well as a glimpse into my past. Here’s a journal entry (bad spelling and all) from June 1, 1984 I found in an old notebook of mine:
June 1, 1984 (Friday)
Well, we have been out of school for exactly 1 week now. I haven’t been doing much except mow lawns. I have $83.00 in the bank so far. I’m not doing that bad. I’m supposed to get a check on Monday or sometime for $40.00. but unfortunaly I have to pay my mom $20.00 of it. And I am going to give an offering of $10.00. And then after you take off your tithes youll have $2.00 left.
Even though I was very good at mowing lawns (except for the times when I worked with my cousin), I wasn’t good at managing my money back then. And, it’s not like my dad didn’t try to teach me. I was just stubborn had had to do things my way with my money. LOL!
Going back and reading the stuff I wrote when I was kid reminded me of a few things:
1. I didn’t do my homework.
2. I was funny.
3. I was scared to death of girls even though I liked them.
If you have an old journal from when you were a kid, I urge you dig it out and read it. It will bring back some good (and bad) memories.
