Pride, Boasting, and Old Friends.
I’m not exactly sure what it is about running into old friends that makes us gather our list of accomplishments to unfold like a list of wallet portraits. For some reason we enjoy showing why we’re doing well. As if it matters. Over the break from school I am working at a restuarant, and when old friends come in I think I feel like I must begin to explain why this job as a waiter is only a temporary thing. I hate that things like that matter. Maybe I’ve bought into this consumer idead the world offers us. Maybe I’ve started to believe that having two pairs of pants and a few shirts isn’t good enough. Hopefully this will soon come to an end. I’d rather find myself enjoying good art, good music, good friends and some good literature than having to explain my job at a restuarant. Besides, there really isn’t much to brag about to these old friends.
Til next time, live simply.
Travel, Food, and Family.
This past week I went home for thanksgiving. I spent a lot of time with friends, Lauren, and family. I ate real turkey, and was really thankful. I found that I miss being home every time I go. But when I return and enjoy dinner with my best friend Evan, it’s always refreshing to be back. If only I could get Lauren Kirk up here…Hmm.
I really enjoyed dinner and laughs with my brothers. I also got a head start on my vinyl collection. A guy I work with sold me an awesome vinyl player for $20.00 bucks. I couldn’t have found a better deal. I also picked up Born in the U.S.A by Springsteen, and Neon Bible by Arcade Fire. I’m really looking forward to enjoying those when I get back home.
Three Cheers and a beer to friends, family, and vinyl records.
For my buddy back home, and all the dudes of E-star and the audio porn.
Useful.
Realizing that the social networking phenomena is inescapable, I have decided to find the best possible usage for this thing.
Which of course, is the best possible usage for anything. Proclaim the truth of the Gospel. Proclaim truth. Proclaim Christ. This can be done through tumblr. I am excited to be learning new things.
Here
We
Go.
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
The hopeless, broken, and poor they will be hopeless and broken no more.
