O to grace how great a debtor
daily i’m constrained to be
let that grace now, like a fetter
bind my wandering heart to Thee
prone to wander, Lord, i feel it
prone to leave the God i love
here’s my heart, O take and seal it
seal it for Thy courts above

for the first time in a long time i feel completely whole.

don't get me wrong, jason makes me feel whole.

but there's been a huge void in the God department - just feeling lacking in my "God"-purpose... i don't know if anyone else understands that.

but tonight.

i'm whole.

and i'm about to be consumed by a dream.

i'm about to dream big, and have faith that God will take me there.

and this is going to be awesome.

freakin hippies

to you american twenty-somethings who think the world would be better off if there was one world government that would take away all our coal, gasoline, oil, fast food, cigarettes, guns, free market capitalism, and any form of religion . . .

why don't you just go to europe already?

here in america we prefer to tap into natural resources, and some of us know that we humans didn't cause global warming, so we shouldn't be taxed, tariffed, or regulated so that we stop "polluting".

i do my fair share of recycling, and any light or electronic device i'm not using, i turn it off. i have a water-saving shower head.
mostly i do this because i want to save money, but i also "save the planet" along the way.

here in america we want a choice. we want to be able to have a hamburger every once in a while. there are people who eat a hamburger every single day, but that's their choice. let them die an early grave if they want.

here in america we want the choice to be able to smoke a cigar or cigarette if we want.
stop telling us we can't. because we can. it's not your decision.

here in america we like to shoot crap. and you really shouldn't be afraid of guns. because, as the old saying goes... guns don't kill people. people kill people. and the criminals are going to have the guns even if you outlaw them, so why don't you stop being afraid of the guns and arm yourself so you can protect yourself and your family from the criminals who intend to use the guns to harm others.

here in america we know that supply and demand frickin works. always has, and we want it to continue working.
we LIKE having jobs.
if you don't WANT a job go sit your butt down in a country that doesn't have jobs. NOT HERE.
and if you don't like that... please move with your buddies to europe [or any other country] where they love socialism and communism just as much as you do. quit bugging us. we're tired of you trying to impose your beliefs on everyone.

here in america... 
we're religious.
and if you're not, stop trying to force the religious ones to loose their religion via legislation.
back in the day there were some folks who came here strictly on the basis of religious freedom.
that doesn't mean freedom from religion.
that means any person is free to practice whatever religion they so choose.
if you have a problem with that...

there's the door. . .
don't let it hit you on the way out.

to my neighbor

dear neighbor next door,

i feel we have some strange connection. it seems you are always doing your dishes when i am, and showering when i am. i feel we have a bond. unfortunately you tend to take my hot water as well.

but i still like you even though i've never seen you.

-your neighbor

"I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration."
- Hillary Clinton [this was during the Bush years - for some reason it doesn't apply during the Obama administration]

sorry...

sorry to the only two people who use xanga anymore.

this is my vent page now.

and i guess i'm just shocked at... people... so this is me trying to get that out.

 

in the past 4 days i have found out about two 18/19yr old girls [my acquaintances] who are unmarried [and i believe single... boyfriends fled the scene] and pregnant... this is in addition to the approx 10 or so girls who already have had kids in the same manner.
what is this? the new hip thing to do?

all i know is i'm flabbergasted.

and i'm scared for my generation and the next generation [no star trek reference intended].
