Am I just naïve?
God, create in me a heart to follow You, to honour you in my surroundings, wherever I may be, or wherever you call me.
Even now I sin against You. Do not take your Spirit from me.

the grain is phenomenal
I found this picture of Jaco Pastorius on Wikipedia. The colours and grain are amazing, something you really can’t get with digital “film” (although I always try). Click for more detail.

90 Day Jane is one girl’s journal about … her suicide in 90 days. Is it real? Is it another viral marketing campaign for some other derivative television show? Is it one woman’s cry for attention? Regardless, it is disturbing. To track your progress toward the day that you take your own life is jarring, attention-grabbing, and saddening.
I am going to kill myself in 90 days. What else should I say? This blog is not a cry for help or even to get attention. It’s simply a public record of my last 90 days in existence. I’m not depressed and nothing extremely horrible has lead me to this decision. But, does it really have to? I mean, as an atheist I feel life has no greater purpose. My generation has had no great depression, no great war and our biggest obstacle is beating Halo 3. So, if I feel like saying “game over”, why can’t I? Anyway, I hope you enjoy my thoughts as the clock runs out.
With all these things entering the acceptability (I use this lightly here) of the public consciousness, I can’t imagine that society is taking a turn for the better. Is this really all that we have? With no recognition of the eternity that lays ahead, I can’t imagine that there would be any hope in the soul. There would be no heart-warming recognition of the full life in Christ, one that satisfies the depths of the soul and gives meaning to life. Knowing Christ, there will be more to life than just beating Halo 3. There will be purpose behind a great depression or a great war. So take faith in Christ, where there is hope and love.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

the red mobile broke and i had the best genomics class ever
It seems like it may be the end for the KitPat mobile. I missed over half of my Monday night genomics class, but I had a good conversation with Kelvin. It was worth it (and I also scored some free chocolate). Thanks for driving every week for so many different things, Kelvin! I really appreciate your dedication and heart to serve. I guess it’s weird because this is all public, but I’m sure many others share the same sentiment!
I was really happy that the Hyundai that could’ve blocked the tow truck moved right when the truck came. God really does provide.
I hope to have a review of retreat with notes on each message up, but it’s been a really tough process trying to get through everything that happened over the weekend. Check back soon!
