In Pieces?

So today was pretty sweet...I got my very own copy of Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell (awesome book), I also got a copy of Garden State--my favorite movie, and I went to Cold Stone. (There are pluses to hanging out with your parents)

Last night was so much fun. It was girls night out so me and a bunch of friends went out to Starbucks. No lie I laughed so hard that I cried. Tears were running down my face. Did you flush your dog town the toilet? Its this big. In Pieces? Think of dying puppies. (Okay that kinda sounds morbid but you would have had to been there and in Australia with us) So..after that we went back to fishes and took pictures for like an hour. Again laughing so stinken hard I almost cried. We took a family photo by the Christmas tree. Yup we are weird. It was so good to hang out with the girls again because they are all awesome.

This morning was interesting. I am really not a morning person. So I woke up early to go to the Hub and ended up having a really productive day. I got all of my video stuff for fellowship done and all the Boston Rally footage done. Sweet.

The third chapter in "Searching for God Knows What" was amazing. I am loving this book. It is really shedding some light on how I am feeling. He is so honest about life. I think he talks about what everyone deals with but is too afraid to talk about. In Feet of Trees--What do we really want? he talks about how in general all people want in life is to feel wanted.

"You come to realize there is a sub-language people are talking that has nothing to do with ethics, fashion, or politics, but it really has to do with feeling important and valuable."

Its just so refreshing for a Christian to say 'hey we are human too and we tick like everyone else'. For someone to finally say that sometimes, if not most of the time, we do things because of what we want others to think. In that light he carried it into real Christianity, not just cheesy kid faith. He talked about how Christ is what we really want. Isn't the gospel relevant to what we need--It's all about relationships....Jesus is always talking about love and people and relationships. Jesus provides us with that one relationship. The proud father I love you all the time one. It just left me with some really profound thoughts on faith...seeing I find I live most of my life trying to make others happy.

Good Deal.
