I tried to add a picture last time, it didn't work. But it will this time.
I've discovered an unfortunate truth about my age group. We're very unreliable. As a whole, we don't show up where we say we will, we don't do what we say we will or be there when we're supposed to be. We think that because people see us as flighty and unreliable, we are. NOT TRUE. Believe me, I understand sitting on the couch with your best friend and a good movie is more fun than showing up to rehearsal, work, a study group etc. but skipping it is not this 'okay' option. I'm not mad. Or specifically speaking about one person or group. I've just discoved that in making plans, most of the time I may as well not, because they'll likely fall through.
Happier things...
Good hair days make life so much easier. Take it one day at a time...especially during finals time. Riding my bike actually gives me energy instead of taking it away.
"Exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands." ---> name the movie, please.

...this is my idea of a streaming consciousness.
I love/hate it when I'm listening to my ipod and a song I don't like comes on, yet for some reason I don't turn it. Like I'm not even listening. Then, half way through I realize it's a dumb song and that I just wasted good listening time.
How deep the Father's love for us. How vast beyond all measure. That He would give His only son and make a wretch his treasure. How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away. As wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory.
Marc preached on adoption and the prodigal son this morning. It hit home for a lot of reasons I don't really want to talk about, but that might be one of my favorite parables because it has so, so many learning opportunities in it.
He also talked about God as Father. So easy to forget, right? So easy to feel obligated to 'do good'. So easy to feel guilty. So easy to ignore. But think about your earthly father. My relationship with him has hardly anything to do with what I do on a day to day basis and is just about enjoying each other in the small and big moments. That's how it is with our Father in heaven. It's not about the sins I commit by the minute but about His grace. About our relationship. About His people. How much He loves us and we love Him.
Rambling...
"The UV light on their faces and Joseph rinsing the rags in the sink, his tired eyes in the cracked mirror, meeting her eyes in the corner, blinking back her holy tears."
-Gas Station Christmas Story, ask me for a copy of the song asap.
Until next time, Me.

You do have beautiful thoughts. Or maybe you just write them better than most of us. That stream of cousciousness sounds very familiar. (Well, maybe without the choreography...)
Behold the man upon the cross, my sin upon his shoulders...

But then... If you weren't paying attention... Wouldn't you have wasted good listening time anyway, and been more angry for having ignored half of a GOOD song?
And why would you have dumb songs on your iPod anyway? :-P
