Believe in God: More than I believe that I exist.
Own a Cell Phone: Yes

Do You Ever Want Any: Any what?  Oh, I know.  Yes as a matter of fact I was wanting another lava lamp.
Have Any Piercing(s):  no
Own a Pair of Leather Trousers: No, what's a trouser? "I'm from Michigan" -Mean Girls

Method of killing someone: I think my favorite method most recently was taking a car with two people who couldn't swim in it and driving off the pier but bailing just before I reach the edge. (I did this in GTA: San Andreas and I think the part that made it most enjoyable was the cinematic clip where they flew off the pier in slow motion and you can hear their slow motion screams.  Slow mo audio is the best.

Chocolate or Sex: When permitted by myself I will definately vote Sex with chocolate

Day or Night: Night
Coke or Pepsi: Coke, duh
Happy Endings or Surprises:Surprises, good luck on surprising me though.  It'd have to be a happy ending to surprise me because I always assume the worst scenario.
Hugs or Kisses: I'm gonna go with hugs from everybody except Jill
Summer or Winter: Summer
Sunrise or Sunset: Sunset
One Pillow or Two: Four
Is the Glass Half Empty or Half Full: Half empty because a glass's purpose is to be full of something so if it is not fulfilling it's duty that is what you highlight because it is more surprising than the glass being full.

Christmas or Birthday: Christmas

Live Forever or Die Happy: Die Happy
Silver or Gold: Platinum
Chocolate or white chocolate: White Chocolate Mocha


------------
WHAT MAKES YOU:
Happy: Jill, sports, traveling (not with my family), food, sleep, music.
Unhappy: sports, my tax dollars being spent on social programs, liberals, people who profess to be Christians but it makes no impact on their daily lives, people who use biblical values to argue with me when they don't live those values (there's a lot of overlap in those last three), hunger (mine not others), crappy music (Country and Pop), Education classes.

Laugh: Will Ferell, people who are extremely stupid and don't realize it, San Andreas.

Cry: I haven't in a long time.  The last time it was because people I respected chose to judge my faith and devotion without much real reason behind it beside confusing their priorities with mine.  My respect for them has decreased.

Confused: I'm gonna go with liberals again.  Seems they have little ability to use common sense.  and that trousers word.
Angry: Women drivers ;), People who judge me and are much worse than I (when my friends who are making valiant attempts at holiness judge I try to listen and not get angry), liberals again.

Scared: Poeple's incompetence behind the wheel I often visualize myself being slamed into by almost ever other passing motorist
Embarrased:  That I often come off sounding like I'm perfect while I realize that that is far from the truth.

Had an Argument: My dad told me to clean my room and I told him I didn't feel like it (I am 21 people).  He proceeded to tell me that I "had better not go downstairs empty-handed".  As he started to turn to go downstairs I informed him that he shouldn't ask me to do something that he himself wouldn't be willing to do.  We both brought a couple of handfuls of stuff downstairs.
Ate Sprouts: Never, I believe I may have tried them at some point and immediately regretted the decision.
Made a Prank Call: Ross and I used to do this back in Junior High.  We rarely got them right which was the funniest part of it all.

- We're So Far Away

So often in life we say we want things; "I want to do better in school." "I want a better job." "I want to be closer with God."  We say things like this all the time.  Right now I want to get my reading down so I'm not rushing to get it done later but here I am.  We have to ask ourselves how much we really want these things or are we just too happy with the way they are now.

So often many of us say we want to be closer to God.  Is that what we really want?  Or do we just say it because that is what we are supposed to want?  Being close to God means having a life devoted to Him; not just five more minutes a day.  To be closer to Him may mean a complete change in life.  Some people are unwilling to do this.  While they say the believe in God; they think that life apart from Him, drinking, sex, and drugs, is more fulfilling and fun.  If they do not believe that God is better than the life they live, then they do not believe in the same God that I do.  They need to seriously ask if they even really believe in a God who created the universe and loves them more than any person ever could.  Do they really even care?

They say they believe in Him.  Then they say they're not sure they can change.  Is He not worth it?  If you don't think He is then you do not believe and are lost.  You say you want to be close to Him but you do not mean it.  To change you have to really want it and want it bad.  You have to want it for yourself.  As my good friend Chris pointed out: changing for others gets you no where.  Change for yourself.  Change for Him.

Say only what you mean.

- Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)

Life is changing.  Suddenly life is very different than it used to be.  I miss my roommates, but I am enjoying my new home and all the freedom it brings.  This change is not bad nor good, just different.  It is a move from one part of life towards a new one.  It is not loss; it is progress.

It is important to remember that as we move on in life some things that we enjoyed will fade but those things that were truly of value will not fade.  They will last.  I don't lament the lost friends and fun of my life.  I look at the things that have lasted through the years and realize that these are the things that mean something.

- I Need You

Brokenness fills the world today.  Nothing is as it should be.  Sin has infected every aspect of our world and lives.  Our disobedience has driven a gap between us and God.  Now He sent us a perfect eternal way to reach Him but while we are still on earth we will still be hindered by our fall.  Everyone is aware of this brokenness.  We all see it everyday in our lives.  Our world is out of order.  Our country is dispirited.  Our bodies are damaged.  Our relationships are fractured.

Now, for a second imagine, the most beautiful worship you have ever experienced.  Amazing wasn’t it?  Could you feel God lifting your burdens?  Could you feel Christ’s arms enveloping you?  Did you feel the Spirit filling you with strength?  Worship is indeed amazing and can fill us in times of great need.

However, this worship too is injured by our sinfulness.  We were intended for so much more.  The miraculous part is that some day we will experience just what we were created for.  We will encounter our Lord in His fullness and this will be even better than our best worship time in this world.  One day we too will walk through the garden in the cool of the day just as Adam and Eve did.  How marvelous to think that someday I will rest in my Savior’s strong embrace.  This is how it was created to be and this is how it some day will be. 

What a magnificent King.
