I might ramble here a bit. But I'm just speculating.
When Mr. Marine and I were talking, I had told one of my friends that I could see us staying the way we were forever. Never really settling things, just going through life as a huge part of each other's lives, in contact, never committing but never leaving, and that I kinda liked the idea. It was very 'us.' It had been working fine to that point and I really liked the idea. Well, Mr. Marine and I don't talk anymore but I still like the idea...

So in James 2, the Bible says that even if we live perfect lives, if we mess up once, we've basically trashed the whole law and we're guilty of all of.  In the sermon on the mount, Jesus says that to hate someone is the same as to murder them, and to lust after a woman is the same as to have slept with her.  And a lot of people stumble with this, because surely murder is worse than anger! ... right? Well, isn't it??
Well I finally worked it out in my head last night. The statement I am about ...

Alright, so here it is, this thing that made me so happy that I am writing a blog on how much I love something:
"Grace means that all of your mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame."
khvfgjgs.
I love this so much, because this is so true, and so refreshing, and so happy-making, and so, so, so beautiful.
Grace is an instrument that God uses to show us His love.  Grace is when God says, "Yeah, I know you made of mess of your life, and of lots of other people's lives, but hey, I s...

The thing about time... It flies.

 

Everyone says that, but then you're like, really? Because I'm meeting someone at two for sushi and that time just won't seem to fly up and meet me. But then you think,

 

Hey, remember last year?  Some friends and I went up to the beach for my birthday but first we stopped at Olive Garden and we wanted the same waiter we had when we did the same thing the year before, when my mom made the poor guy sing and he turned beet red. He wasn't working though so we chase...

Ah, love. Everyone loves love. And people in love? Man, do they love love!
All right, the point: I have a friend. She has a boyfriend. Great! Awesome! They love each other. Great! Awesome! I have no problem with that. I really don't mind. It makes me happy. Now shut up.
Seriously, the girl's facebook is so annoying! And I wouldn't say this about one person... but we all have that friend who posts all the time, and every. last. post is about his/her stupid boyfriend/girlfriend!

How important is your freedom? To be able to make your own decisions, with no accountability, responsibility- not needing to answer to anyone except yourself. How important is that for you?

What about control? This is very different than mere freedom. Freedom is doing what you want. Control is controlling what you want and then doing it. Control is never having to listen to anyone but yourself. Control is totally manipulating every aspect or your life. Control is choosing what you want, what y...

My friend posted a status this morning about not taking things for granted, 'cause you never know when they'll be gone. Well, while the idea is greatly overused, I liked the status anyway because usually, if someone posts something like that, they're missing something they took for granted once and now don't have, and when someone likes your status, it makes you feel better, so I liked her status in hopes of making her feel better.
Anyway, reading her status made me wonder... Have I lost anyt...

All right, well, anyone who's been on here lately can probably tell that I've been having a hard time with a couple of things.  No, really, I have! Mainly that there's a lot going on and I've been very concerned about a lof of people, but most of all that one of my best friend's goes to boot camp in January. Except that Thursday, they changed 'January'  to 'Monday'. Either this Monday or the next one. Okay, so I might have been a bit upset (not that I told him). And once again I found myself ...

“I will love you with no regard to the actions of our enemies or the jealousies of actors. I will love you with no regard to the outrage of certain parents or the boredom of certain friends. I will love you no matter what is served in the world’s cafeterias or what game is played at each and every recess. I will love you no matter how many fire drills we are all forced to endure, and no matter what is drawn upon the blackboard in blurry, boring chalk. I will love you no matter how many mi...

“I will love you as a thief loves a gallery and as a crow loves a murder, as a cloud loves bats and as a range loves braes. I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong. I will love you as a battlefield loves young men and as peppermints love your allergies, and I will love you as the banana peel loves the shoe of a man who was just struck by a shingle falling off a house. I will love you as a voluntee...
