Qoute of the Day

2008-09-25T13:58:00.001-07:00

"What I would like to know is this: How? According to my records, in all of human history, evil has never been "defeated". Evil is like whack-a-mole. You beat it down in one place, it pops up somewhere else, just as big and strong. Evil people have been defeated, sure. Evil empires have been brought down. Then, new evil people are born and new evil empires rise up elsewhere. When McCain and his people talk about defeating evil, they are, for the most part, talking about military force. And man, the audience at Saddleback went nuts at the "defeat it" answer to what to do about evil. Crazy applause. Which I don't get, because most Christians learn, basically on the first day of Sunday school, that evil is something that lives in the human heart. And I don't care how huge or powerful the American military may be, it can't go into the human heart and defeat evil with tanks and AK47s." - Sara Zarr, Author

Man, I love how Sara put that. Evil lives in the human heart. Yours and mine. Not in some distant land, not only in extemerists and greedy warlords in caves. In our hearts. The difference there is that we have choosen to battle the evil in our hearts. To stand up against it, and fight back for God and each other. But we all have, at some point, embraced our "evil". So why do we judge them so harshly? Because we've decided our evil is somehow "better" than theres? Somehow "less evil"? Do you think God views it that way?

For my campers '06...

So, this is the best song ever. Just so you know...

I shouldn't have had a nap at 6...

2008-08-31T01:19:00.000-07:00

Note to all readers: I am wrting this post at 1:30 in the morning. I'm just getting thoughts on blog, so I will not be sensoring myself, checking for typo's or proably making any sense. Sorry :)

It has been a while since my last post (and of course, I decide that it's a great time to start back up again at 1:30 in the morning!! I should never have gone down for that nap at 6. What was I thinking.) but to be honest, I have never really posted anything "real" on here. Old blogs from myspace that I brought over here, what I'm reading from Goodreads and surveys ain't cutting it. I haven't done you justice, my bloggy-blog. And for that I am truly, deeply sorry. (I hope everyone senses my silliness.)

So,I am no pledging that I am going to try to blog more regularly, and not really car if I don't have much to say. Anyone who is reading this loves me anywway, so you care about the mundane crap. Right? But I will also be providing commentary on things I care about like politics ancd this years election, books, music, tv, etc.... So I'm really hoping this will be fun for all!!

In other news, I am kind of excited by life. I've had a really shitty couple of last years, but I finally feel like change is on the horizon. I feel it deep down within myself, not just my wanting of it to happen. I don't know what it all means, but I know this will be a LONG process of healing & changing, but I'm excited!!! It's so time for some change.

Today, I hung out with the famdamly at the Hermosa festivle and had a blast. I bought these really cool glasses, that you will all be jealous of. Here's a pic:

My lovely sister and I (Don't hate.)

Ok, I am really tired now, and need to get up fairly early tomorrow to clean.

I love you all and know that you matter.
