I just got back from the best concert i have ever been to. TSO puts on an amazing act - 3 hours of music, no leaving the stage for an "encore." They even ended on a cover of "Cleveland Rocks" (the concert was in cleveland.). Who is TSO? The Transiberian Orchestra. Check them out. BUY THEIR CDS (not burn)

this has to be about the most consistant i've posted in a long time.. i think this is three times in one week!
How can I form such close bonds over just a period of a few years with some people, but others i have known my entire life have slipped into the mere aquaintance category. Here is a big thanks to only a few of those I have developed close friendships with (forgive me if i'm close to you and have not included you in this list - nothing personal): JH, JH, CK, JW, MK, JL, JH, NB, LS, JP and a few others. You all have really been a positive influence in my life.
This is probably going to come out all mixed and jumbled, but that's cool. Something struck me tonight - one of my friends who I don't get to see too regularly (damn going to school in tx) was talking to me last night and kept telling me that he can't change his friends by anything he said because neither he nor they are the religious types. He also said that he doesn't see the point in burning the bridges he has built with these friends. Most of te religious types he has experienced stress "do this, don't drink, be a nice guy, etc." When someone feels like he ought to give up friendships to fit in with the christian crowd is what depresses me about christians. Its not about the does and don'ts! Life is all about relationships! Meet people where they are and introduce them to christ, not fit them into your own mold of christianity! Introduce them via any means necessary, talk or actions. Wake up people - we have an amazing freedom as christians to live our lives apart from so many of the cultural rules we have adopted. geeze... its 4:30 and i'm going to bed.

funny lines from naked gun 33 1/3
"Like a midget at a urinal, I'd have to stay on my toes"
"Like a blind man at an orgy, I'd have to feel my way around"

| You are 22% geek | OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you. |
