I just clicked on the "New Weblog Entry" link, and realized that it's been several months since the last time I've done so.  I know the previous entry is dated: October (something), but all I did was change the CD to Futuresex/Lovesounds because it's good. And I listen to it. 

Anyway, I'm in a really calm mood right now, so I think I'm gonna try this whole Xanga thing again for old times sake...

Seems like Christmas starts sooner and sooner every year but still manages to feel shorter and shorter.  I don't know if I'm just getting old or what, but I really miss obsessing over what Santy Clause will bring me and eating sugar cookies in my 3rd grade class's Christmas party at the end of the year.  Oh, and cutting out snow flakes in folded sheets of paper.  I was a freakin' pro at those.  

I started thinking about all of the big Santa presents that I've gotten over the years, and the coolest would have to be my huge Millenium Falcon.  If you don't know what that is, it's because you're a girl.  That thing was awesome.  It's still in my closet.  I also got this Jurassic Park set one time that was pretty cool too.  It was the whole park with gates and trucks and buildings and a bunch of other stuff, obviously including the dinosaurs. 

So, that's it.  Pretty antclimactic huh?  I'd try a little harder if I thought anyone would read this but I guess Xanga's long gone now.  Oh well, that's 30 minutes less for me to be bored in Crandall.

I'm gonna go eat some chips and hot sauce and watch the news...

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Busy signal...........

All I have
Has come from love
I am blessed to be
Someone loved
Something good has got ahold of me

So I sing
Sing a song
From this mountaintop I'm on
See it clear
See it true
There could never be another One like You

Feels good to be home.  That is all.  Probably for a while. 

Gonna be an awesome summer!

So.  Done with college for now.  Feels weird.  Good, I think, but weird. 

All packed up and ready to leave for home tomorrow.  But strangely enough, I'm almost completely distracted... 

Every once and while you just have one of those moments.  Maybe you know what I mean.  I hope you know what I mean...  We're constantly caught, us and God, in this struggle to transcend our worlds, the physical and the spiritual, drawn to each other. 

It's like there's this wall between us and God, and sometimes we desperately reach out and place our hand on the wall, hoping that He is touching the very same spot on the other side.  Until the day that we finally come into direct contact, this is what we have.  But even just the slightest connection is enough to take your breath away. 
And when that happens, you just know it.  Tonight, it definitely happened.

I mean, that's what it's all about, ya know?  Us desperately seeking Him, and Him, revealing Himself to us.  Strip all the religions and legalities away, and all that is left is a desire to meet with each other. 
To walk with each other. 

Sometime, just go take a walk with God.  Middle of the day, or night, drop what you're doing and take a walk.  You might be surprised to find that He's already expecting you.

Two things this country has become way too dependent on.

Let's replace them both please.
