What? Xanga?

So, call me crazy, but I've been reading old xanga posts. Remember that? I hadn't until this afternoon. Looking at my subscriptions, practically everyone I knew had one. And if you did have one, I've probably re-read your entries :)
It was nice to find some old pictures as well. My comp crashed way back when and lost many... as well as poems. I figure I have more room to stockpile things digitally rather than physically.

This was from June 1, 2005. Junior year.

I hate common courtesy. For this reason:

Once we get over our egocentric arrogance about the fact that people don’t really want to know how we are when they say ‘how are you?’ we can see that it’s just an American way of acknowledging our presence. Be honest. By filling empty space with meaningless talk just releases more tension. Honesty and compassion are more attractive than seemingly necessary vocal rituals.

The watermark of the church of Acts was this:

As a people they had decided to live under the direct rulership of the Spirit. They rejected both human totalitarianism and anarchy. They even rejected democracy, that is, majority rule. They had dared to live on the basis of Spirit-rule; no 51% vote, no compromises, but Spirit-directed unity. And it worked.

(These are my thoughts as well as some of Richard J. Foster’s. I paraphrased this from "Celebration of Discipline".)

Guys, let’s make this summer count for something. What does your heart burn for?

Sigh. Truth is truth and truth doesn't change.


Note. In one of my posts, I called someone a she-stud. Who was I? Oh gosh.

Found these little nuggets as well:
"Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they find laughable." -Anon.

"Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you." -Cheers
