“If [our generation] would get SERIOUS about Christ, get SERIOUS about the Bible, and go out into the sciences, and go out into the arts, and go out into the community, living a life that is one of transparent holiness, then who knows whether God will look from heaven and pour out a blessing such as there wouldnt even be room enough to contain.”
- Alistair Begg -

I have no other sacrifice
I have no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that he died for me

"Celebrities have always existed from promiscuous monarchs to Roman gladiators. In fact, when the Olympians returned home victorious, they used to take out a section of the city wall so the athletes wouldn’t have to pass through the same gate as mere mortals. These days however, fame is more easily obtained. Anyone with enough money and a lack of self-respect can become famous just by being famous. We’ve gone from Socrates to Snooki."

does everyone get frustrated with their church sometimes? maybe that's just a healthy response for people who are heavily involved... i dunno. maybe it's a sign of being TOO involved. or maybe it's a sign that it's a time to move on.

Change is one of those things we dont want or think we need until we find ourselves growing disinterested in something, wonder what’s missing, and finally move on, chalking our disinterest up to being someone else’s fault.

this is why things change--why facebook changes, why any company changes things. in our fast paced world, everyone's tryin' to keep up with everyone else. you stay the same and people get bored and move on.

this is our ADD generation.
welcome.

the longer i live the more i realize life is just weird, ironic, and all kinds of crazy.
God's sense of humor is alive and well! ;)

by the way, welcome to a brand new year. lets make it a doozie.



(sidenote: at the risk of starting the year with a negative statement, i really hate words like "bestie".
cant we just use real words like we used to?)
