JC, FAITH-INTEGRITY-LOYALTY, spending time with Mary Rose , music, keeping my head down and my chin up, becoming the person God wants me to be, ultimate frisbee, the Atlanta Braves, saving the world, making time for all the people I love, being the hands and feet of Jesus, dancing, roaring, becoming the man that she deserves, making a positive impact, the Decatur Social Club, learning to fly instead of trying to jump higher (CS Lewis), going to corner tavern, not being apathetic, going to shows, being a bradley-hathaway-style manly man, watching sports and drinking a beer with the boys while screaming at the opposing team / refs / hot dog vendors / whoever else incurs my wrath - turner field is no stranger to the roar, reading more, laying in the grass and enjoying being outside, being passionate, old video gameslearning new things, trying to get my dash to work, my list of desired consumption, doing my part, getting new ink, taking more time for my neice and nephew, hanging out with a friend and listening to music that we like, keeping up with what's going on, spending time in huge groups of wonderful people, loading things onto my iPod, new piercing(s), adding more of the things that are good and shaking off the things that aren't
People. I want to meet people because I want to love people. I have a good example to follow in this pursuit (JC - John 15:3), and a tough standard to try and live up to, but just becasue I can't make it over the bar doesn't mean I won't jump.I use to say I wanted to meet these guys, but I already met them. However, they're really nice gentlemen so I'll keep their banner up (Emotionalism came out on 5.15 - go get it):
Want this badge?And this guy (although I have seen him speak):
I like two kinds of music: Good Music, and Bad Music. If I'm listening to something, and you think it sucks, assume I put it in the second catagory. --- I was having my quiet time one day in April and I thanked God for my iPod. I was being very open and honest and it just kind of came out. At first I felt this was rediculous and extrememly materialistic of me (and not to say that it wasn't at least somewhat), but I realized that music, and the ability to listen to more of it, makes me happy. And I shouldn't feel so bad about thanking God for doing something very normal that makes me happy. I think He likes to work in simple ways. Sometimes He will part an ocean, and sometimes He will play Johnny Cash. Both are pretty solid choices.
