OK, so this is my 146th post on my blog. Wow. Sidenote- blogger is a lot easier to use since it has been bought out by google, since google is amazing- end sidenote. Anyway, after hearing myself talk, and reading myself write...? ...it's become easier and easier for me to think that I'm right, or that I know everything. But the reality of things is that... I'm still pretty confused about a lot of things. And I am wrong, fairly often. However I still maintain that the Rock could beat Muhammed Ali in a street fight.Yeah, so... as you read my blog, please don't think that I know everything or anything, or think that I think I know everything or anything, because there's a lot that I'm still figuring out. On the other hand... I do want to know everything. I want to have an intellectual grasp on life, what it's all about, and how to live. A fear of pride or arrogance is not a good excuse for being mediocre. ...So if you're reading this, you're probably either a human, or a well trained primate. And I really believe that you should be the best person, or monkey, that you can be. Don't just try... don't just want it... set goals, and live like there can be a better tomorrow. Life comes at you fast, and it flies. Know where you want to go- and get there.
Knowing is not enough,
we must apply.
Willing is not enough,
we must do.
-Bruce Lee
And on your journey, if you find yourself stuck in the same junk over and over... and dealing with situations that seem to keep repeating themselves, you might just find that living the life you truly want isn't possible. And at that point I hope you realize that you need a helper, a savior, and a shepherd. I can tell you this: if God is who he says he is... he is all that we should need. <-- but do I "know-know" that? Nahhh... but I'm getting closer. But do I believe it? Yes.
And it's very cool to look back on the past 4 years of my life and say that God is making me into a man of God. It's awesome to look back at your life and say, "This is providence. This is God making me more like Jesus. This is sanctification". And it's also cool to look forward and believe that 4 more years from now I'll look back and say the same thing. Let's believe that God has more for us than what we see right now. There's hope for us idiots... even me... and I believe that that hope is somewhere in here:

Man i love reading your blogs, deep yet simple, funny yet serious, spiritual yet so real... what i'm trying to say is that if Bromance had a pictured defination i would not only allow it to be you laying on top of me, but be honored (no laughing though). Thanks for being so daggin' cool and i absolutely ADORE the fact that we're friends and close brothers in HIM, i feel that we'll end up growing so much together this semester. Good times this break and for the more that are sure to come!
[insert opinion about adorable picture here followed by an apologetic phrase to convey that the picture, while funny, is not all that I got out of the post. Insert something sincere that both sympathizes with and conveys being encouraged by post content. End with hint at activity this weekend with the CBCpeeps to visit JSOH, where we can discuss post content, or other deep matters face-to-face.]
