| "Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good fire?" -C.S. Lewis, about the Inklings
Well, it's been a really long time since I updated. And sometime soon, I'll get around to writing an update on how my life's been going. But for now, I just wanted to post this quote, and make a little comment about it... Think about it. What better times in life than just spending time with friends? Especially those that have similar interests? You don't need to always agree. In fact, sometimes it's more enjoyable being able to talk with someone who DOESN'T agree with you, so you can see other perspectives. But some of the most enjoyable times in my life have been having a group of friends, sitting around, with no main purpose for the night. Just staying up till late into the night, talking abot whatever crosses our minds. And especially Christian friends, where we can offer advice, and share our own stories of how our lives have changed, and take advice from others. The Spirit touches each of our lives through those around us. Great times. | | |
| My cousin is an amateur photographer. She entered the contest, linked in the last post. First place is a trip to New York City, and a chance to follow a professional photographer and learn some of the tricks of the trade. Second prize is a fancy camera. Or something like that. I don't know all the prize stuff. She just asked me to vote, and ask my friends to vote too. Anyway, thanks to all that vote.  | | |
| My cousin is in a photo contest, and she needs at least 250 votes by
friday morning. The link is a little weird, so please copy and
paste the link into your browser, and vote for her picture.
Thanks.

| I just really like this song. I think we've all been in a place where we're like, I've been going through some really hard stuff lately. Where all we need is a glimpse of God to help us walk on the water, instead of sinking beneath the waves. If you haven't gotten Lifehouse's new CD, you should check it out. "Storm"
How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If i'd see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I know everything will be alright
I know everything will be alright

| "He was the finest man I ever knew in my life, and I miss him to this day. But he was ready to go. He had done all he wanted to do and said all that he wanted to say; and more important still, God was ready to take him home."
-Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis, from his book Jack's Life, p. 164. That's how I want to be remembered when I'm gone. | | |
