The road outside my house is paved with good intentions...

I drove by a church the other day and the sign in front said "Be an organ donor, give your heart to Jesus", then today I saw one that said "The Bible is God's mapquest". Why does Christianity have to be a catch phrase? And not even a cool catch phrase, we have to be lame. Seriously, we have so much commercialized cheesy crap that I bet Jesus looks down from Heaven and is embarrassed. I mean the man suffered on a cross and how do we repay Him, by sticking His face on every product imaginable. He died for an uncool group people. Now, don't go "super Christian" on me, I realized He died for all regardless of class or race, but let's be real people, why do we have to turn Jesus into a commodity or a one-liner? Ironic that other religions don't do this. I mean I can't wait for my Mohammed night-lite or my Ghandi bubble gum.

On another note, this past week has been interesting in regards to my job situation, which is that right now there is nothing, but I have an odd peace about it. I had it out with the Lord last week about the future and where I might end up, and His answer was to give me this weird peace. I guess that's part of having faith and patience, but I'm kind of worried He might stick somewhere worse then Arizona, like the Midwest where it gets ungodly cold. I could just ignore him and go my own way but then He might pull a Jonah on me and I'd get swallowed by a whale, which would be an amazing story, but who wants that??

It's deep how you can be so shallow...

I find it ironic when people can't figure that they are their own problem. They blame everything else possible: other people, how they were brought up, God; but the one common factor in all their problems is them. It's like they can't conceive that their choices are the reasons for what happens in their lives. Can they be so dense?

If only people really believed that classic break-up statement "It's not you, it's me" because it's so true. And I've learned recently that it wasn't me in a past situation, it was them. So hahahaha wake up and stop putting the blame on other people, you are the problem!!!

P.S. Go Dodgers!
