I have been ordered to post again. So...here goes.

There is this really cool worship song in Turkish that I love. The music sounds like something out of a disney movie, but it is beautiful.

--------------------------------------

Does anyone know what the lyrics to the song:

Hold me close to you
Never let me go
Something-something-something
Something-else-something-else

You're all I want
You're all I ever needed

And-another-whole-verse-that-goes-here

are?

I haven't really talked to anyone in a long time. Conversations, yes. Jokes, yes. Inventions, fun, yes. But really-talk, no. There isn't time or something, I don't know.

You know, it is hard to keep a hold of your life plans when something comes along that changes the whole equation.

Guess that is why God made sure that we know that He exists. *grin*

I'm homesick, horribly homesick. Four months, right on the dot. And the worst part is that when I go back I will be going to a house I have never lived in, a church I have never known, and a college I have never dreamed of. How can that be home?

I need a new layout, but I am finding it very difficult to sit in front of a computer for more than a few min at a time, so I can't make one.

On the up side, it has been 860 days since I joined xanga.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

Hebrews 12: 1-3

Three different things cause that.

Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

The Parable of the Sower, Mark 4: 19-20

Not sure if that is right, but it was in the sermon yesterday and makes logical sense to me at the moment. I'll think through it slower when I have time.
