  "Urinal cake: eroding, eroding, eroding... gone! " Track meet today. Weather was nice. I got second place and an 11:06 for my two mile, the worked on a desperately needed foot tan. Dave came in to watch my meet!
Huzzah! And 'Nifer and one other girl I didn't know! That was definitely cool. Kristy thinks he's gorgeous. And he says I remind him of a little him, so I guess I'll grow up to be the major player that all the high school juniors want. Why can't I be that now?
While I actually am a high school junior? Ha ha, but it's cool. I did a lot of thinking on the long bus ride to and from the meet. So, in accordance with the conclusions I've come to, the Song of the Day is by blink182, but I can't remember the title, and Jeff Black stole my CD last year during speech finals. "I think of awhile ago, we might have had it all... I was so stupid then, you needed time to grow... but now just as things change, as well my feelings do... in time things rearrange; I am so sick of chasing you...
But what do I get cuz I just seem to lose? You've made me regret those times I've spent with you... Playing those games as I wait for your call... but now I give up, so goodbye and so long. " As I guess you can tell, my feelings have changed. I've come to my senses and decided to not let anything bother me. Being friends is awesome enough.
Rock on, Springfield! Let no more weirdness exist! I'm gonna do a little "cutty-pasty" from Dave's blog the other day. I found this to be awesome. You don't have to read it all; it's kinda long, but I liked it a lot. If you ever wanna see his blog, just call your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Joshing. Point and click at www.davestheshizznit.blogspot.com. Good stuff. Ok, here it is: "see, we are given life as a gift. nothing we can do can earn or repay the gift. for life is the gift of self.
god's own breath gives us life. he, who has everything, gives us something that is his. but we sought to acquire something for ourselves. through our own power. we ate the apple. and god who gave us life had to watch as we took pain and death for ourselves.
heartbroken, god watched his gift of life, his very self, defiled. in that moment, christ's first steps to calvary began. and through every person, through every sin, he suffered. he gave a part of himself. his own spirit to give us life. and his own spirit shared in our death.
but "god so loved the world that he gave his only son.." christ came into the world. god gave us what we desired most that day in the garden. equality with god. for god became man. and that wasn't enough for us. in our own pride, we desired to be even above god.
imagine the humility the lord showed in becoming an equal to creatures so far beneath him. then, the even greater humility he showed by allowing these same creatures to place themselves above him! even unto death on a cross... amazing the love god has for a single soul. as many times as the human race has made a mess of things, as many times as we have broken god's heart, never has he forgotten about us, never were we without him. we expect so much from god during our lives. we want him to give us so many things.
but we don't notice that he has nothing left to give. though supremely wise, he knows not how to give more. though supremely wealthy, he has nothing more to give. we too often look at life as something ordinary, not as the great sacrifice and miracle that it is. if life is so small a gift, why do so few give it for someone else? see, the truth is that each of us, individually, were given life, not once, but twice.
and all through our lives, we search for other gifts, other things we desire, from god. other things we want or need. but this is foolishness. if we cannot be content with our gift of life, and if we cannot be content with christ's love, what could possibly fill our emptiness that is greater than these? you will spend your whole life searching, and your whole death regretting it if you tried to find out. just let life take you where it will.
let christ's love always be your guiding hand. while you have that, you will always have enough. "for neither the principalities, nor the powers, nor the prince of this world, can separate you from the love of christ..." OK, maybe shower, or tomorrow I'll just do the deodorant thing that Dave jokingly does but someone else I can't mention in here really does, cuz if I did say, she'd be mad at me. Ha ha, she knows who she is! have a GREAT one, guys! God bless
