Three Star Night: 2009

Unmagical Midnight

31
Dec

When the clock strikes twelve, we won't suddenly become unfallen. It takes more than the passing of time or a crystal ball descending from the sky; we'll have to look further up instead.

The world is not what it was meant to be

Just when I thought, ''This isn't so bad,'' the neighbor's dog wakes me up on my day off and I'm reminded of the curse on creation.

Note: My neighbor's dog is a big dog, not a small one, as shown. I could not find a picture of a large barking dog, probably because no one wants to be close enough to get a good picture of one. However, I'm not sure whether a barking large or small dog is worse.

Note #2: New image border colors because of the new layout, but I might play around with this a bit. (Though you Google Reader peeps probably haven't seen it yet.) For now, even if a post is sub-par, every post has a silver lining :)

this Christmas, may the realization of unobtainable humility serve to make me that much humbler.

Christmas means God seeking us out, knowing full well there's no room for Him inside the house.

True Meaning Part 2- And the Word Became Flesh

14
Dec

I've been mourning my humanity, that I am but dust, but then I remember that I do not have a High Priest unable to sympathize with my weakness, and I rejoice.

Dec

I feel kind of bad that I waited until after finals to reflect on advent, but if I dwell on that, I'm still not reflecting on advent.

None of the diagrams in the course reader had the whole thing on one page, so I made my own. (Click through twice for full size.)

Go ahead and thank God for family, friends, your job, and the roof above your head, but don't forget to thank Him for disease and trial, too.

Early Warning Signs

Remember when life was easy and came with pictoral instructions? Wait. Scratch that. My Lego projects never worked out, anyway.

Do not judge lest ye go before the fall

It is easy to judge proud religious people but harder to do it without becoming proud.

This seems harder than it's worth.

They said, ''Kill your stress before it kills you.'' They're right, you know, but that sounds like a stressful process.

Again, I say...

True, Jesus carries us through the storm, but he brings us to a place of joy. Don't get stuck at step one.

Excuse me. I think you dropped this. You can have your sign back. I don't feel like going on a guilt trip.

MLIA Pt 2

My roommates make fun of me when I suddenly remember what day it is based on my vitamin box.

Random note: Surprisingly, this is the only (free) picture of a vitamin box I could find on the net, but it's kind of icky looking. Mine's a lot nicer (and clearner). I'd take my own picture, but I can't find the proper cables to upload the pics to my computer.
