| "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared
to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the
hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect" 1
Peter 3:15
But... why does no one ever ask?
"God tells us to be ready, so what's wrong? To be blunt, nothing
about our lives is worth asking about. There's nothing intriguing
about our hopes, nothing to make anyone curious. Not that we
don't have hopes; we do. We hope we'll have enough after taxes
this year to take a summer vacation. We hope our kids don't wreck
the car. We hope our favorite team goes to the World
Series. We hope our health doesn't give out, and so on.
Nothing wrong with any of those hopes; nothing unusual, either.
Everyone has hopes like that, so why bother asking us? It's life
as usual. Sanctified resignation has become a new abiding place
of contemporary Christians. No wonder nobody asks. Do you
want the life of any Christian you know?" --John Eldredge, The Journey of Desire
I want God to use me, to break me, to change me into someone who
desires to build genuine relationships with people, to share my life,
my heart, my all with the people he gave his life to save.
What do you desire?

| Just so you all know:
Rats eat poop. And your soul. Buy a pooper scooper or pay the price.
In other
news, I have in my possession seasons 1 through 5 of the Gilmore Girls
on DVD and will be watching them in succession over the rest of the
semester. You're all invited.

| I have been using toilet paper kleenexs since Friday. This is
probably a problem. One I will be solving this afternoon.
Oh how I miss you, facial tissue.
