“For now, books are still the best way of taking great art and its consolations along with us on the bus.”

poached eggs.
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” —

an enormously familiar quote worth reading again.
yous a cute mama
yous my favorite
thanks for nothing.
i think i have too high of hopes.
i hope things will happen and wait for this thing to happen and it doesnt.
i think i have too high of expectations.
i think i set myself up for failure.
and then im sad when something that was never gonna happen, doesn’t.
i think i shouldnt hope for anything from anyone and the problem will be solved.
done thinking.

“When at the typewriter I am no longer where I sit but am away across the mountains, in ancient cities or on the Great Plains among the buffalo. Often I think of what pitiful fools are those who use mind-altering drugs to seek feelings they do not have, each drug taking a little more from what they have of mind, leaving them a little less. Give the brain encouragement from study, from thinking, from visualizing, and no drugs are needed.”

Sitting in my kitchen, listening to the game on the radio. Tim Lincecum is pitching for SF tonight…
ask me what time it is
simple is almost always best.
i need a watch, and this is the one i want. it is waterproof, it is a timex, and it is $35.
beat that
something that will always be summer for me...
#1 - that feeling when you are driving in his car, sitting in his passenger seat, just you and him.
in high school it was an army jeep. my hair would go crazy every time, he would always play music, and i never lost the butterflies.
not a question...but...i miss you. and i am coming up for a weekend asap. <3 you.
i miss you beautiful! mi casa su casa dude—you’re always welcome. nothing would make me happier!
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
i feel ya. since i was a kid, my deepest fear has been that i will come to the end of my life and realize i wasted it all. that thought literally terrifies me. i can’t imagine anything more horrific. so, a long time ago, i swore i’d never experience that.
the only way to have a truly meaningful life is to exist for God’s glory. live each day in the shadow of the Cross and draw each breath for something bigger than yourself.
it’s your life, so change what you don’t like, even if that means being radical. nobody else will get it, but who cares?
and get out of your comfort zone, because nothing worth living for happens there.
“All joy emphasizes our pilgrim status; always reminds, beckons, awakens desire. Our best havings are wantings.”
