Pray for me!
Headed out tomorrow morning for a summer mission project in Tampa, Florida. Likely no access to tumblr for the next 10 weeks. Pretty excited; the Lord is going to do awesome things and challenge me and break me a lot. Prayer points:
For me to be constantly brought to the end of my own resources so that I walk wholly in the power of Christ
For the gospel to be heard and understood by those to...
Also,
Sorry about the Rickroll. Had to do it.
I have
Good friends.
Y’all are awesome.
Truth:
Mumford and Sons are awesome. And a Pandora station seeded with them is quite possibly the best thing to happen to music ever. It basically plays every chill band I’ve ever loved.

Rob Bell's Love Wins:
Disclaimer: What follows is lengthy, wordy, preachy, boring, and various other negative adjectives. Read only if you really really want to.

Best call I’ve ever received:
Woman: Is it true that someone is burning a flag on y’alls campus today?
Me: That’s correct. They’ve registered it as a peaceful protest.
Woman (growing angry): Y’all better put a stop to that, or else no one’s gonna buy your products. [Products= school merchandise]
Me: Ma’am, we’re not in a position to do anything...
Do I have a right to ask God to make me a soul-winner? Or do I want to see the...

Finals:
Obscene amounts of coffee?

Check.
The inclination to study?

I love Peter Bradley Adams.

“For although I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law...

I know everyone already chewed this over on their various blogs last night, but I was busy catching up on Z’s after a long weekend, so I’m posting now.
As an American, I’m quite excited that we finally got Osama. I am proud of our armed forces and deeply, deeply thankful for the sacrifices they make in their service.
As a follower of Christ, my heart is broken at this news. The...
We killed
Osama Bin Laden.
I’m not sure how I feel about that.

bochomeansround:
that is the question.
I don’t. Tom doesn’t. Why should you?
You should shave because beards are gross.
You sound like my little sister.
I’m going to get a haircut. Then I’ll grow my beard.
Awesome. I actually shaved today.
