Crushing Cowardice

I'm 28.
I feel like I know who I am at this point.
And yet, occasionally I'll have a self-revelation that frankly astounds me.

Shameless

I have a secret.
Okay it's not much of a secret, a lot of my close friends know this, but it's not something I've ever admitted to the world at large.
At first I feared ridicule, but I'm beyond that now.

A Hard Battle

The more people I meet, the more I think that they're all weird.

And they all have problems.

Clear as Dishwater

We all go through phases. I know I am not alone in this. If I am, please tell me so I can go seek professional help. But I don't think I'm crazy, so I'll continue with my thoughts here.

Comfort

Words fail me.

I miss my friend.

Amen.

Revelation 21:3 - 7 NKJV

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

Love and Justice

"Dad! I can see the fire from the sword already!"

"I know son. In a few moments, you'll be able to see everything we lost, as well."

Acronyms & Abbreviations

I have a lot of quirks.

I accept this.

Mint Condition

There is an injustice and a prejudice that is running rampant in the world today.

I Want! I Want! I Want!!

I turned 28 last week. Eight days ago.

It feels weird. I think every birthday has felt strange to me.

Hmmmmmm

I have a lot of things on my mind.

Lots of things I want to write about.

But I can't decide.

Stupid ≠ Unsaved

Christians are weird.

Having been one for 5/7 of my life, I'm allowed to say that.

We're do dumb things, too.

We do a lot of stupid things.

I Have Issues...

I'm obsessed.

If you're reading this you are probably my friend on Facebook or Twitter, so you probably noticed that I've been to the movies quite a bit recently.

I've seen The Avengers six times now.

Aught Naught?

I'm tired.

Tired of calling the first decade of this century the "2000's".

Isn't the whole century the "2000's"?

Steeeeeeee-rike Three!!

Fear.

That's what I fight.

I'm trying to figure out how to transfer my fear to something better.

My fear is of failure.

Motivational Speaker

I just love Chris Farley. I remember when he died thinking that it was quite sad. But I wasn't allowed to watch any of his movies growing up (which I'm completely okay with because I turned out weird enough as it is) so at the time I didn't understand how much talent and genius had left this world. So sad. Having now seen almost every movie he was in as well as having enjoyed the "Saturday Night Live: Best of Chris Farley" a few times, I can honestly tell you that he was one of my favorite actors. So hilarious.

Dre-e-e-e-eam

Dreams can be tough.

Especially when you don't tell anyone what they are.

Once Upon A Time

I was born on a dreary day in May. Okay, not really. A beautiful Wednesday evening, actually. During the Olympics. In California. A little over eight years later we moved to Phoenix.

Decisions, decisions...

I have probably said this before, but I really better about life when I write.
Like mild depression before, optimism and joy after.
Craziness how much your purpose can affect you.
