I really don’t have anything to say

17 06 2007

but I fear you will tune out if I don’t keep the posts coming . . .

I could post another picture of my hand (the blister hasn’t popped yet–I knew you were dying to know that!) but it’s really kind of gross.

It was a good weekend. The Museum of African-American History was amazing, but I’ll say more about that later . . .

now I must sleep.

ADDENDUM: It occurs to me now that the above post is incredibly self-absorbed and is also a blatant attempt to increase my blog stats. (which God does not approve of!)

but seriously . . . I am starting to learn that it’s not wise to say something just to say something . . . you have to say something because you have SOMETHING to say. (as in, something that matters.)

so I guess now I am saying that I was wrong to say something when I didn’t have anything to say. And maybe that’s worth saying . . .





I’m quite bloggy today, huh?

(although I guess it’s a good sign that I don’t ”get” everything in this list. What’s a BAD sign is that now I really want to find out what all those phrases that I don’t understand actually mean! and this one is even funnier . . . ) 

but enough about me. you should really read this:

how quickly we return to our idols

29 04 2007

I was under a great deal of conviction after hearing a message from John Piper  on Thursday night at the Children Desiring God conference . . . and I found myself asking what my life might look like if I loved God above all else . . . and yet, just  a few days later, I am scrutinizing my blog statistics in search of human approval . . . my idols are so huge . . . but thank God that He is bigger . . .

For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
   but the LORD made the heavens.
Psalm 96:5 (ESV)

9. The meaning of my blog name is . . .  that I can’t think of a title. wanna help?

so burned out, in fact, that I know I haven’t posted anything of substance here yet . . . but I am going to . . . right now it just feels like I’m putting up a lot of “fluff”, but never fear . . . I am sure I will start ranting and raving again very soon!
