Haiku(SUMMER)

The lake is gorgeous
Ev'ry night is a sunset
The mosquitoes swarm

Seafood restaurant
Bathrooms every saturday
Money for London

A deer explosion
Dial-up internet for us
Sky-scraper pine trees

Growing and growing
Radical relevance here
Trust Him for ALL things

Old friends; life-long friends
Repairing and releasing
Heart longing for Peace

Browned-skin and freckles
Dirty-feet and frizbee-games
Puppies in the lake

Brightest-colored skies
Dark nights and so many stars
Gorgeous starry nights

" If you preach the Gospel in all aspects with the exception of the issues which deal specifically with your time you are not preaching the Gospel at all. "

~Martin Luther


I will write about what this means to me at a later date, stay tuned!

I'll tell you flat out it hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless to dictate my own moods

I've thrown away so many things that could've been much more
And I just pray my problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

When I go down, I go down hard
And I take everyting I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down, It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them

If and when I can clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found

I've thrown away the hop I had in friendships
I've thrown away so many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away the secret to find an end to this
And I just pray my problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and repremands me
Repremands me then and there
I confess I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again and do so willingly

You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I chose to say seem pathetic
But it's a fallen man's praise
Becuase I love you
Oh God, I love you

And life is not worth living if only because of you
And when they say that I am dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth

When I go down
I lift my eyes to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there with open arms
To lift me up again
To lift me up again

"When I Go Down"

Facts(crazy)

Just learned about this in my management class...

-Our cell phones have more computing power in them then the Apollo satellite.

-The amount of information on the internet doubles every 18 months.

-It is predicted that in the next few years, the amount of information on the internet will double every 11 hours.

-All those internet worlds were you create avatars will be able to be interchangeable so the Barbies from Barbie.com (that is primarily geared toward girls ages five to fifteen) will be able to go into World Of Warcraft...

-Their are 60 million facebook users uploading 14 million pictures daily.

-We are on the cusp of Web 2.0 which allows for two-way communication and online communities, Web 3.0 is predicted to have 3D portals and 3D representation of avatars (which means I could have someone sit in the room with me who isn't in the room, or I cold go to class without actually going to class.)...
