All I need and desire more is grace. Oh Yahweh, may you churn my heart rugged and harden heart to be sensitive to your presence, which is full of grace. Full of love. Full of you.

Just watched Star Trek,

dang. i want a capitan chair and say cool stuff like, “capitan to enterprise. this is your capitan speaking.”

maybe…the first koinonia capitan instead of president???

hahahaha a little too ridiculous.

"The rules for reading yourself to sleep are easier to follow than are the rules for staying awake..."

Wed, 15 May 2013 14:12:02 -0700

“The rules for reading yourself to sleep are easier to follow than are the rules for staying awake while reading. Get into bed in a comfortable position, make sure the light is inadequate enough to cause a slight eyestrain, choose a book that is either terribly difficult or terribly boring-in any event, one that you do not really care whether you read or not-and you will be asleep in a few minutes. Those who are experts in relaxing with a book do not have to wait for nightfall. A comfortable chair in a library will do any time.”

- Mortimer J. Adler, “How to Read a Book,” 45.

man, I love this guy’s humor. so spot on.

“Aslan?” said Mr. Beaver. “Why, don’t you know? He’s the King....

Mon, 13 May 2013 17:24:49 -0700

“Aslan?” said Mr. Beaver. “Why, don’t you know? He’s the King. He’s the Lord of the whole wood…”

I love how he did not say, “he’s the savior,” but “he’s the king.”

How I feel about Senior Year.

Prince Caspian: I do not think I am ready.
Aslan: it is for that very reason, I know you are.

“Always winter and never Christmas!”
- Mr. Tumnus confessing his forbidden service to the White Witch to Lucy.

Oh, this perfectly frames a waiting period for Christians. Always waiting in winter for Christmas, the Advent, but never seeing its fruition. It is “Always winter and never Christmas,” but as the story goes on, this is not the final word. No, no. It is not the final word.

“Every moment.
Every second.
Every pain, every laugh.
I attribute them to grace.
All has been grace.
All is grace.
And all will be grace.”

Moses had a speech impediment. As did Apostle Paul. To have extraordinary public speaking skills are not essential, but gifts.
Fear not, those with stage-fright and insecurity, this skill is not necessary, but do strive for it.
Be thankful, those with phenomenal public rhetoric, it is a gift.

Thunders used to scare the crap out of me when I was little, but now I think they are one of nature’s most awesome phenomena. How amazing, that fear can be transformed into awe?

"Love, then, has for Paul an essential two-dimensional character, as summarized in 1 Corinthians 13:5..."

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:25:31 -0700

“Love, then, has for Paul an essential two-dimensional character, as summarized in 1 Corinthians 13:5 and 1 Corinthians 8:1. Negativity, it does not seek its own advantage or edification. It is characterized by status- and rights-renunciation. Positivity, it seeks the good, the advantage, the edification of others. It is characterized by regard for them.”

- Gorman, Michael. “Cruciformity.” 160.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:45:40 -0700

“But, freely in Christ, our Heavenly Father has come to our aid. So our works ought to be directed freely toward our neighbor. Each of us should become a Christ to the other. And as we are Christs to one another, the result is that Christ fills us all and we become a truly Christian community.”

- Luther, Martin. “Freedom of a Christian.”
