"I am like you. I have seen plenty done in the name of God that I'm sure God doesnt want anything to do with. I have lots of reasons for bailing on the whole thing. I am also like you because I have a choice. To become bitter, cynical, jaded, and hard. Anybody can do that. A lot have. Hatred is powerful, unifying force. And there is a lot to be repulsed by. Or, like you I can choose to reclaim my innocence. We can choose to reclaim our innocence together. We can insist that hope is real and that a group of people who love God and others really can change the world. We can reclaim our idealism and our belief and our confidence in the big ideas that stir us deep in our bones. We can commit all the more to being the kinds of people who are learning how to do what Jesus teaches us. I am not going to stop dreaming of a new kind of faith for the millions of us who need it. I am not going to stop dreaming of new kinds of communities that put the love of God and the brilliance of Jesus on display in honest, compelling ways. I am not going to stop dreaming of new ways to live lives of faith and creativity and meaning and significance. But i cant do it alone. I need you. We need you to rediscover wonder and awe. We need you to believe that it is really possible. We need you to join us. Its better that way. Its what Jesus had in mind." -Rob Bell inspired me to write this for you.
live it.
"She walks in beauty like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies and all thats best of dark and beauty meet in her aspect and her eyes" -Byron
God is love and love is real, but the dead are dancing with the dead,
And whatever's charming disappears while all things lovely only hurt my head
"First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up,because I wasn’t a Jew.
hen they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up,because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time
there was no one left to speak up for me."
"We are not Groupies. We are here because of the music, we inspire the music. We are Band Aids."-Miss Penny Lane 'Almost Famous'
"She's like the hot cloth on a fevered head,
And like a needle she leads me (while I follow like thread)
But you untied me... didn't You untie me, Lord?
And now I haven't even thought about killing myself in almost five months." -Aaron Weiss -mewithoutYou
"love is watching someone die...

"This is my life, Dad. This is it. I spent 26 years waiting for something else to start. So no, I don't think it's too much to take on because it's everything there is. I see now it's all there is."-gardenstate
You played the flute but no one was dancing
You sang a sad song and no one was crying
"Sorrow Drips Into Your Heart
Through A Pinhole
Just Like A Faucet That Leaks
and There Is Comfort In The Sound
but While You Debate
Half Empty Or Half Full
It Slowly Rises Your Love Is Gonna Drown"-Deathcab For Cutie
"For i know the plans i have for you' declares the Lord 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans of hope and a future, and you will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all your heart'" Jer 29:11
"I heard a voice through the discord
deluge of passersby
saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by
I swear I'll know your face in the crowd
and I'll hear your voice so loud
When you're whispering
'Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another'
Here's my kiss to betray
Desperate to brush the lips of grace
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I lied?
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
Oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me"
-underoath
"I always tell the girls,
never take it seriously,
if you never take it seriosuly,
you never get hurt
you never get hurt, you always have fun,
and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends." -Miss Penny Lane 'Almost Famous'f57
