Learning to breathe
Learning to crawl
I finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I’m living again
Awake and alive
I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies…
“Now consider the alternative. What if I am right? What if the prophecy is true? What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn’t that worth fighting for? Isn’t that worth dying for?”

The most depressing thing that I have ever experienced is the realization that friends will come and go. Even friends that never were, friends that have been with you forever, friends that you’ve just made.
I had this realization yesterday…it’s one that I’ve had many times before and it still hurts. The pain of trying to figure out what happened, why you walked different paths.
It makes me want to cry…
Tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you’ll need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be
But everything inside you knows
There’s more than what you’ve heard
So much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
And you’re on fire when he’s near you
You’re on fire when he speaks
You’re on fire, burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you
When everything inside me looks like everything I hate
You are the hope that I have for change
You are the only chance I’ll take
When I’m on fire when you’re near me
I’m on fire when you speak
I’m on fire burning at these mysteries
Mysteries…
I’ve been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge of everything I’ve never been before
And I’ve been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge of me
And I’m on fire when you’re near me
I’m on fire when you speak
I’m on fire burning at these mysteries…
We were meant to live for so much more…

I’ve got several dishrags in my kitchen. Some of them are used to clean the kitchen, some of them are used to dry my hands. But all of them are simply used.
Over and over, several times a day. I really don’t give them another thought. Whenever they get dirty, I just drop them in the washer and wash them. Every so often I’ll bleach them.
They come out, go in the dryer. And they are ready for use again.
I feel like a dishrag.

I can’t stand how much Christmas has become so materialistic. I’m happy to celebrate the holiday but I feel like so many people are worried about buying the perfect gift. Or, getting recignition of giving the perfect gift…
When I hear this song, I like to think of people that celebrate Christmas without the presents, without the tree, without It’s a Wonderful Life, without the after Thanksgiving sale…
Wish I had a river I could away on…
If you’re thinking about porting or getting cell phone service at AT&T, don’t do it. I can tell you from my experience that they have one of the worst customer service representatives in the industry.
If you want details, feel free to e-mail me. But for now, know that you have been warned!
It’s hump day!
I love wednesdays because it reminds me that the weeks is half over! I’m so excited about this week! End of Year party @ 38th Ave.
This verse has encouraged me this week:
I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds to those who are on the road to destruction. But we who are being saved recognized this message as the very power of God…So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made them all look foolish and has shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense. Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never find him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save all who believe.
I want to desire God with all abandon. Have a child-like faith to believe in him.
