baby girl

I have the cutest daughter, I know every parent feels that way about their child but I cannot help it. She is so smart! She just learned to sit up the other day and within 24 hrs. of doing that she learned to pull herself up to standing, I love it! I also love how she is "discovering" her voice. She is making these really high pitched noises and sighs. It is wonderful.

I heard someone say that if you add the letter A to a word you get the opposite for example theist and athiest.
Well if you apply the same principle to muse you get amuse.
Don't get me wrong we all need amusement but this could possibly explain why I feel my brain slowly die one cell at a time when I watch family guy.

new ride

Oh ya! I have a moped now. Jordan ordered one for us the other day and it finally came. I wasn't sure how I would on it but it's been so much fun. Yay for scooters.

Oh ya and I joined a book club at a little independent book store by my house. Double yay.

What's not set in stone

Am I a whore?
Where is the line I'm not supposed to cross,
Where's the ideal,
What is justice or the prototypical maxim?
I want to be me but I want to be me the right way,
Mentality was created in me,
therefore I will use it,
and paired with truth I will end my reliance on what is not suant.


Just what I found myself scribbling down in my journal, raw. I know I've been dealing with "finding" God lately. I would say that I'm just not satisfied with taking someone else's word for it anymore, because I know I shouldn't and I have everything right in front of me to do so. I continue to see more and more that he is not the prototype that most _______ make Him out to be, or teach of Him. I am also realizing something that I have always proclaimed but never learned myself, to this degree. That I make my identity in Him, not in religion, church, people, or ideas. Because He is the only constant. Through the course of my life almost everything about me has changed, save my name, and God. God is the same and His message is, but just about everything else has and will. I know that God is unchanging but maybe the way I live should?
Basically I know what is set in stone, what there is no wavering from, But that which isn't I think I'm kind of playing with if you will.

Oh feelings

I just finished watching Equilibrium, needless to say it is an amazing movie. I should have known seeing that Christian Bale is the star, my two favorite movies "Empire of the Sun", and "Newsies" both star him. I'm sure almost everyone has already seen it but it was awesome, a mix between "Matrix" and "V for Vendetta".

I feel inspired, hehe pun intended.

Culturally Relevant

"I don’t understand why cross-cultural missionaries attempt to understand culture to present the gospel within it, while churches in the developed world tend to simply withdraw from their own culture, often condemning its evils. Unfortunately for them, our culture is filled with people who need to see real Christianity in action — they’ve seen enough caricatures of Christianity already."

Makes sense right?
