About Me

my name is lucas. i go to school. i'm rich and wellfed and that bothers me greatly. i live a grossly comfortable life, and i'd like that to change. i believe this and that, but i'd rather know the truth in a personal way than as if it were a fact. baiscly, my life is a cup of sugar i borrowed before time begain and forgot to return.

My Interests

For what difference is there between provoker and provoked? The only difference is that the former was the first to do evil, but the latter did evil afterwards. Each one stands condemned in the eyes of the lord for hurting a man. For God both prohibits and condemns every wickedness. In evil doing, there is no account taken of the order…. The commandment is absolute: evil is not to be repaid with evil. -Tertullian

Movies:

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green

You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape

No matter what happens now
I won't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've
ever seen.

Television:

no thank you.

Books:

"What are you going to do?" I said. "I guess I'll read something to her" Seymour said, and took down a book. "She's ten months old, for God's sake" I said. "I know," Seymour said. "They have ears. They can hear."also: "the irresistible revolution" by shane claiborne is amazing. it's challenging as hell, but it's what i want. aaron weiss told me about this book.on the road, dharma bums, catcher and the rye, franny and zooey, ham on rye, old man and the sea, mere christianity, great divorce, blue like jazz, factotum, seaching for G-d knows what, to own a dragon, howl, nine stories, billy budd, a heart breaking work of staggering genious, um..the bible

and the word dwelt among them

i wonder if will we feel foolish for not showing love to those around us when this is all over. i'm starting to learn that i should love people and accept them no matter what. i don't need to find out...

the upside-down economics of G-d's Kingdom

This is from the simple way, mentioned in a book called "Irresistable Revolution" by author, Shane Claiborne. I HIGHLY recommend reading it. Just a few things you might want to try to reflect Christ-l...

You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. -James 4:4 Its voting time...

a worthless god

a god that can't change people is worthless. if god can't improve a life, then why the hell would you follow him? i don't claim a god like that. i think i'm pretty fucked up right now, but hope is in...

give up all we have. (or, fire will melt wax)

He said if I wanted to follow him, I must give up all that I have. All my possessions, my shit. I have to let go of A before I can take hold of B. you might be a candle with a flame for G-d, but it's...
