About
amazingly enough, i am nothing and everything all at the same time. i cannot be defined by a page floating in cyberspace. you cannot truly know me through this medium of expression.
how is it that we as a society, as a creation that exists--no, thrives--on human interaction invent means by which we may distance ourselves from that interaction? we claim to create technology to draw us closer, when instead we use it to distance ourselves. do we like this separation, these pretty walls made of HTML?
i, for one, have fallen prey to this fanciful demon. so i'm working on breaking down those walls. i'm working on coming back to the place of a child. i'm kindling the fire in my heart. and that fire will burn down any wall, made out of any stone. that fire will purge away every affinity not from His hand, every wish that has become the idol of need, and every aspect of my heart that is not 100% devoted to Him. that fire will awaken the dead in me.
"i run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free." (psalm 119:32)

Sounds good.. pick something up for me while you're at it. I could use some coffee. Yes, our family is all pretty easy going. We all tend to get along pretty good. It seems that lately family have been coming more. Just found out last night my Grandma is coming back for another visit on Monday. ha, It's fun. Hope your weekend goes swell.

That must prove to be a story maker.. Teaching. Do you have any big weekend plans? I'm visiting my aunt and uncle who are visiting my Grandma this weekend. Having much visiting going on lately. I like it.

Also.. I see someone was in a switchfoot mood when they selected the songs for their player. Which is good. And I need to get around to reading The Catcher in the Rye.

Yes, our stages can be rather in the shadows at times. I'm still on xanga. Though I lose interest with it quicky then get it back just as fast. Virb seems to have the things that myspace should be. But still not as blog driven as xanga.

I really like the Phil Wickham song. He was on the Relevant Podcast 2 weeks ago performing several songs from his upcoming album. Sounds like this one should be better than the label debut.
