A blog as of yet untitled

Donna: “A cry for help with a kiss?”
The Doctor: “We’ve all done that, haven’t we?”

A snippet from my half of a (sort of) recent late-night conversation:

“We accept the love we think we deserve,” as the famous book/movie line goes, right? And you don’t think you deserve much. I get that. You’re sorely mistaken, though. I think you’re amazing. Seriously. I don’t make stuff like that up. Maybe you’ll believe me with time.

In the meantime, though, understand that having high standards for a mate does not imply haughtiness, thinking you deserve the best. I think I’m a counterexample. I realize I probably cannot afford to be picky. “I am nothing you would wanna wake up next to,” the lyric goes, and I resonate with that, but I’m gonna go ahead and be picky anyway. Please do the same. Please never settle. I want the freakin best for you.

And I still think you’re amazing. 

- A paraphrase. I’m certain it didn’t come out of my mouth like that. I’m more  adroit with text than with vocal expression, I think. Bits of that conversation have been replaying in my mind for the past couple days. I just wanted to get this out, and to have it recorded. Also, perhaps others out on the interweb would benefit somehow. That’s my hope, anyway.

A misplaced entry:

accidentally posted this in a private sideblog during finals week.

Listening to Driscoll on men and marriage. Laughed and nearly cried.

I cannot wait to take my girls on daddy dates.
And I want my priorities straight:
- Jesus
- Wife
- Family
- Work (Home, ministry, and otherwise)
I don’t know if I want to own an Xbox anymore. I mean, once you’ve got the console, the games, and a decent amount of controllers, you’ve spent about enough to get your wife a plane ticket to Hawaii. Save up that much again and you can go with her. The choice doesn’t seem that hard.
And who’s got time to master their no-scope headshots when they’re committed to those priorities above? 
Well, the fire’s back. I feel alive. One exam and one paper to go.

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate our exes and how we aren’t dating them anymore.

Preach

It’s a good day.

“They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!”
Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.”
- Numbers 21.

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.”
- John 3.

Omg journals are worth 30% of my grade in history of modern philosophy and I’ve only done two entries ever. I hope I can still get credit for doing the other four or so all in the same week lol

Wow. Same. o.o
