Places offering wireless internet need to realize that power outlets are a necessity.  Now that I have that off my chest…

I think I’m due for a real post.  It’s probably good that I haven’t written any lengthy posts in a while because you probably would have been led to believe that I was going nuts.  But things have settled down now and I feel at peace.

Sometimes I think it’s unfair that God doesn’t manifest himself more visibly.  I know he’s evident throughout all His Creation, but you can’t call him up and ask him to go have Starbucks with you.  (He probably wouldn’t want to anyways because he would say that your $4 for coffee could go towards a much more noble cause.  So maybe it’s a good thing we can’t call him up.)  We live in a society where the supernatural is discounted because of the abundance of material possessions available to us.  Think about it, the majority of things we own are merely for convenience, not necessity.  We idolize convenience.  Take Wal-Mart for example.  Instead of having to go to 10 different stores to check off your shopping list, you can get it done at one and change your oil and cut your hair while you’re at it.

Knowing God on an intimate level is not convenient.  Paul tells us to work out our faith with fear and trembling.  Jacob wrestled with God.  Job lost everything.  Unfortunately, following Christ is not the path of perpetual euphoria.  It takes everything you have.  That’s something I’ve been learning the hard way.  God will take away everything you hold onto in order to get your attention so that He can give you everything.

Anyway, today’s been an amazing day.  Lots of good conversation and thought.

P.S. I think 90% of girls’ motivation to get married is planning the wedding.

There’s nothing better than listening to a song and having no choice but to dance.

I don’t know what to do with myself. Seriously.

I’m back home and getting settled in.

Had a wonderful trip to Germany.

I start my job tomorrow at the eye doctor.

I have high hopes for the summer.

I need some clarity.

I didn’t realize how long it’s been since my last post. Every time I thought about posting, I couldn’t think of anything to say. I still can’t, that’s why I’m writing about not knowing what to write.

I have now finished 3/4 of my college career. That’s so weird to think about because it used to be the really old people that I looked up to who were the seniors in college. Maybe I should start standing taller.

Monday I leave for Germany. What more shall I say?

When I come back I have a lot to do. But it’s not the loathsome type. It’s the kind of stuff I really want to do (reading, composing, recording, thinking, etc.). But oddly, it’s sometimes the hardest to do because there’s no obligation.

Anyway, here goes nothing…
