i'm going to try to do this post somewhat level-headed. not in one of those emotional whirlwinds that i tend to fly myself into. that's not really fair to you.

you make a mistake
you learn,
and then you make the mistake again
and you say you learned
but then you make the same mistake again
just a little bit worse
it seems like a circle...
is it just me?




or maybe i'll try and pretend i don't care again. this feeling can't last this long. (but the next feeling can't last that long either).



to the rest of you: "take this with a grain of salt". i hate cliche's as much as you, but they illustrate a point. i think. so to lighten everything up once more:

children, please don't ever use the library as a cover-up for a date. especially if you don't read.

Wii will rock You!

Do I ever have a story for you, but I can't tell you now, you will have to wait.
And wait you will!

God is still faithful, his grace is still real, and his love is still forever. Just like always.



but some how it's new every single second.

then sings my soul

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"



There's life and death
there's peace and war
there's joy and suffering
there's love and hate
there's happy and sad
there's beautiful and ugly
there's freedom and bondage
and then there's Christ
a rescue from all of that
everything
nothing was left out
or forgotten
no hidden agendas
no strings attached
My God, how great you are!



cpcc has the most interesting teachers

nobody cares about you opinion,
and if you don't have anything to back it up with,
we care even less.


if there was one thing i could tell every teacher,
that would be it



that's all

Ephesians 4:13-16

Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.


Jesus, Jesus how I trust You
How I've proved You o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus

most things aren't an adventure, but you can make them one. i like that. there are a lot of reasons why.

that night i couldn't sleep. i laid and just thought. thought about the things that you don't have time to think about when your busy, those stupid things. i laid flat on my back, and felt myself breathing. i heard my heart beating and the funny noises that my stomach was making. i heard the rain and the wind outside. i could hear trees creaking, and i could hear my imagination. i could hear it all at once. i don't know what that means, i wouldn't mind if it didn't mean a thing.

that's all, i'm ok with pointless if you are.
