Texas is Getting Bigger

The phrase for Texas is "Everything is bigger in Texas!" That might be. Apparently the population of Texas has grown by 6 friends of mine in the past few years. Everyone I talk to is moving to Texas. When Jenny moved to Texas I had three dreams about Texas. Don't expect me to remember them all. They were the kind of dreams that didn't make a lot of sense. Not cohesive and simply strange. In one I remember seeing large building and people that were extremely skinny and tall. In the dream I said, "I guess everything is bigger in Texas!" Kind of silly. But, this sudden influx to Texas has me confused. The first and only time I went to Texas I attended One Day. A Christian day of prayer, sermons, and worship. Although One Day was amazing I can't really say Texas was. The scenery was rather dull, well at least compared to Virginia. It was full of slopping hills and cows and more slopping hills and cows. It was nicer than Indiana, but still nothing to get all excited about. When I was there I got eaten by fire ants. I had to use clear nail polish all over to recover from Chigger bites. There was a massive storm and because I was in a tent I woke up the next day soaked from head to toe. We also spent most of the day outside. I used sun screen, but my lips weren't protected. They swelled up and made it very hard to drink out of a straw. The culture is a tad bit weird as well. I guess I have images of country folk, big hair, and belt buckles. Now I must insert that I SUPPORT my friends in whatever God has for them. I was extremely proud of Jenny, one of my college friends who moved to Texas. Her dreams are coming true. Naturally I am here to support all my friends. I just don't understand why Texas is the state of choice. If I could choose where to live Virginia or Colorado sounds nice. Anyway I just decided to blog about this sudden influx to Texas because it has been on my mind. Did you know that Texas is number one for natural disasters as well? It is the most dangerous state because it is prey to more than a couple different natural disasters.
