| TomorrowTomorrow I have a job interview, which I am not looking forward to. What is it I hate about "jobs"? I think I know. It is an analogy I made to Liz earlier today when she asked. God has given me three things: My Body, My Mind, and My Time. If I would not sell my body for money (believing it to be unethical), how is it I am expected to sell my time? And how is it that bartering my life away is considered ethical? All so I can afford what? A house I'll never be home in (except to sleep)? Food (just enough energy to work more)?
This is my dilemma. It seems to me that the only proper use of my time, body, or mind, would be to serve the one who gave them to me. And any more self-serving usage would seem to be stealing what is rightfully His.
This is my dilemma.

| Too much to tellWow, so much has happened.. Been to Bermuda and back. Liz and I are officially dating now. umm. working on the farm.
I'm too tired to write everything up right now, but I just wanted to
point out a really good song. I REALLY like this song.. This is
what music should be. It tells a story, is musically pleasing, and..
just.. i like it.
the lyrics go:
When I was a young boy
I was honest and I had more self-control
If I was tempted I would run
Then, when I got older
I began to lie to get exactly what I wanted
When I wanted it
- And I wanted it
Now, I'm having trouble differentiating
Between what I want
And what I need
To make me happy
So instead of thinking I just stop
Before I have the chance to contemplate the
Consequences of action
Bridge:
And I will turn off
And I will shut down
Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground
And I will turn off
And I will shut down
The chemicals are restless in my head
Chorus:
'Cuz I lie
Not because I want to
But I seem to need to
All the time
Yeah, I lie
And I don't even know it
Maybe this is
All a part of my flawed design
And ever since I figured out
That I could control other people
I've had trouble sleeping
With both eyes closed
And if I asked permission
If I make sure it's ok
I promise I won't slip up this time
You can trust me
But never take advice from someone
Who just admitted to being devious
Who just confessed to treason
And I would ask
That you never ask a question
That I cannot ask myself
For it might
Dirty up your conscience
Chorus:
'Cuz I lie
Not because I want to
But I seem to need to
All the time
Yeah, I lie
And I don't even know it
Maybe this is
All a part of my -
And how can you say those things
Why can't you just believe?
And how can you say those things
And keep a straight face?
And how can you say those things
Why can't you just believe?
And how can you say those things
And keep a straight face?
Bridge [x2]
'Cuz I lie
Not because I want to
But I seem to need to
All the time
Yeah, I lie
And I don't even know it
Maybe this is
All a part of my -
'Cuz I lie
And if I could control it
Maybe I could leave it all behind
Yeah, I lie
And I don't even know it
Maybe this is all a part of my
Flawed design

| Every RoseI have a theory that as sinful humans, we are incapable to fully
appreciate complete, untainted beauty. The rose is culturally
accepted as the most beautiful flower. Not, the lily, or the
tulip, or anything else. The rose has thorns. I think that
because the rose's imperfections make it all the more beautiful to
us. Due to our own imperfect nature we appreciate flawed beauty
more than complete beauty. I'm not sure why. Maybe it makes
us feel better about ourselves? Maybe we can simply relate to it
better.

| Romans 8:28You know the bible verse, "All things work for the good of those who
love the Lord." Wow. That's taken on a new meaning. You
know how it always seems like that only applies to external
things. It always seems like it doesn't apply to the things that
we do ourselves! But man, does it ever. All things. Period.
If that doesn't give you confidence, I don't know what will. No
matter what you do, as long as you love the Lord, it's right! I
thought I was making, and about to make the biggest mistake ever. But..
You know... It wasn't. :) It's all good. :)
Set your sight right. Spread your wings. And, take flight.
