A legitimately awesome birthday present would be if someone else asked me to go see Star Wars Episode I in 3D, instead of my nerd self guilting all my friends into seeing it with me.
I secretly enjoy Episode I, for all its faults and bad acting. Pod Racing! And Darth Maul! And Amidala’s crazy outfits! And really badly acted but super cute baby Anakin before he got even worse by being...
Aaaand I have officially applied to work at...
Part of me feels compelled to consider myself a traitor to the Mom ‘n Pop world, but after thumbing through the Starbucks job descriptions and filling out their character study portion of the application, I actually kind of WANT to work for Starbucks.
Crazy words.
Also, I think maybe there’s a humility thing in here somewhere. haha
It's funny how I almost automatically get more...
Long hours of studying are well filled with stretching. Be prepared to be in the best shape of your life ever, body. Probably also the most sore.

This is unbelievable.
It’s an animated video to a song by the Weepies (The World Spins Madly On). I can say with all assurances that I have never seen an animator capture human movement that effectively and realistically in my life. I’m floored.

“Jake likes a girl. Her name is Bella. Bella likes a different fella.
See this vamp? This is Ed. Ed is pale. Ed is dead.
Ed saved Bella from a van. Ed must be a special man.
Ed won’t kill boys. He won’t kill girls. Ed gets fed on deer and squirrels.
This is James. He’s a tracker. He’s a sort of vamp attacker.
James hunts Bella for a...

Simply Orthodox ☦: Christians love one another. →
simplyorthodox:
From a report given by a pagan official, Aristides, to the Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD), who was seeking justification to outlaw Christianity.
Christians love one another.
They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are...
LOVE is my driving force: Who needs self-esteem? ... →

By Ken Davis
Why do so many of us live our lives feeling that we have something to prove? Because we no sense of personal value— and therefore no self-esteem. We feel we have to prove— through accomplishments, through wealth, through power— that we are worth something.
This concept…

Long day.
But I’m home, San Diego. Hello.
Game Plan:
Now that I have finished knitting my last (for now) Christmas present, it’s time to get off my butt. Today’s gameplan:
Go to work, pick up paycheck.
Go to Salvation Army and find something new for less than $5, a book for Hau, and a book for my dad.
Tutoring with Hau, hopefully at the library.
Tutoring with Tewen, finishing her story rewrite.
Finish the day writing at...

What is being saved all about?
cousined asked: So, I feel like I should know the answer to this and already do possibly. But when people say all you gotta do to be saved is accept Jesus, and that there’s no extra stuff after that, what does that mean exactly? What comes with accepting Christ?
Unka Glen answered: Well, it’s actually a good question, what you’re asking about is being saved by...

I'm officially a student again.
I have a class schedule and stuff.
Feels funny.
And I was the one of all my friends who WASN’T planning on going to grad school right after undergrad! Seminary’s kinda different, but still.

Bear in mind that I don’t actually view “liberated sexuality” as a good thing (I legitimately believe we were intended to have sexual intimacy with one person, and that it will be ultimately better with the person we’ve committed to getting through anything and everything with.) THAT SAID…

This is how I feel about “The Law” right now. People are so afraid that if we give out the blank check that is grace, without ANY, count it, ANY requirements but belief, the whole world will go to shit because no one will feel...
