"It is no fool who gives what cannot kept to obtain what cannot be lost."
"In grace we find an eternal slumber to our guilt."
Hello. I am a recent graduate Psych of UCLA and a church worker in England. But man can not be quantified by his degree or job. But while we are on the topic of work I must implore you all, don't waste your life doing something you dislike because the money is good. It is better to be poor and embracing the things that you love. The world is full of people that will not take my advice. Let them worry about all the "important" stuff, you do you what you are passionate about.
This blog is 30% theology, 30% rantings and 40% commentary on my everyday life.
As or a what I am like: I like fish tacos, balti, and D&D. I get itchy when I do not run for awhile. My favorite ice cream is Baskin Robbins Black Cherry. I believe pancakes are a viable alternative to dinner. The same can be said for Pizza and breakfast. I am never going to another Renaissance Festival again. I think tuna is from the Devil. I check my email more often than I should. I believe in many occasions war is the answer. I drive on my motor scooter through Santa Monica (n. Montana) when I need to clear my head and think about the future. I like people who try to use proper spelling, grammar, formatting, and capitalization but I often fall short of my own standards. I like livejournals that show depth of character not one where the F word replaces any other form of emotional expression. Finally, I think postmodernism is a lie and the church is foolish to try to embrace something that they can not even define. The very idea that you should adapt in such away is a modern concept. I am done.
