| i'm bored with searching other bookmarks so i've returned to Xanga, an incredibly neglected friend (acquaintance really...shhhhh don't tell).
my iBook, previously named "Jordan II Delta" (new suggestions for names will be considered - possibly with salt grains), tells me i have "26 minutes" left which means my comp will die 2 1/2 minutes from now so i'll make this quick.
a lot of the time i feel sooo much and quite often "think" even more . . . is this what being 21 is like? will age bring a dullness, a break in the pace or can i expect these faculties to grow increasingly and often agonizingly fierce?
finding my voice in the fray sometimes seems impossible - how i forget that i shouldn't just listen for my own cracked strains but that a Music is already written, already playing, and that i have to simply still my nervous hand - the one that holds the crinkled score - and learn to listen
oh, life . . . and in my case "life abundantly" :o) here's to finding out how God will bless these blessings to glorify His name . . .
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
~ Romans 11:33-36
in other news: tonight i watched "The Nativity Story" and "Shooter" - nice little one-two punch.
more to follow on this riveting combo - in a *GASP* future post? we. shall. see. :o)

“The greatest
thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love
for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference;
and therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we
shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost
to Him."

| The Father of Lies coming to steal,
kill and destroy all my hopes of being good enough.
I hear him saying, "Cursed are the ones who can't abide."
He's right. Hallelujah, he's right!
The devil is preaching the song of the redeemed.
That I am cursed and gone astray.
I cannot gain salvation. Embracing accusation.
Could the Father of Lies be telling the truth of God to me tonight?
If the penalty of sin is death, then death is mine.
I hear him saying, "Cursed are the ones who can't abide."
He's right. Hallelujah, he's right!
Oh, the devil's singing over me an age old song,
that I am cursed and gone astray.
Singing the first verse so conveniently over me,
He's forgotten the refrain: "Jesus Saves."

| People and the Word of God: Two things that will last forever.
i've known this all along but do i let it change me?
i'm so blessed it hurts sometimes and the
funny thing is it's taken 21
years to recognize
that life
is beautiful despite
how i feel at a particular
moment and apart from any circumstance, God
who breaks me to make me, is worthy of my praise now and forever.

| i just finished "Uncovering the Truth Behind Porn: The Dirty Little Secret" by Craig Gross, the founder of xxxchurch.com. In turn, i spent a while exploring this website. Wow. Not your typical Sunday morning fare.
Funny that now the porn-preventing paperback is polished off i'll be moving on to Harry Potter.
i'm sleepy though so i do believe i'll retire with morning visions of disc golf and devotions dancing in my head.
g-nite.
