  • Israel and Friends

    So we're back from Israel... I would post pics but I'm just feeling like a picture post. I'll just say it was amazing!!! and wonderful!!! and faith-building!!! really really faithbuilding!!!


    So, how do you explain distance between friends? There is this feeling you get when your friendship becomes a series of expectations rather than an unreserved love. There is an unexplainable canyon of emotionional disconnect between you and a friend who were once close... You know what? Nevermind. Love covers a multitude of sins. Perfect love casts out all fear. It was by grace we were saved, through faith, not by anything we did. That way, no one can boast... love accepts... love comforts... love loves... don't forget that last one. Sometimes as Christians, with love as our mantra, we forget that love has a definition. Love loves


    Uhmmm... so that probably didin't seem very together. I hope it connected with somebody. I'm real tired. Goodnight lovely people!

  • it honestly did connect. in church the other day [the one we visited, of course... ] we walked in on a class right as it was finishing... and some lady was talking about love, jesus, us... mainly in the direction of "giving" and the works part of love. heres the nutshell:

    pretty much she was saying that there are alot of people out there who will go out and do things, like care for the aids people every once in a while, or go and feed the homeless. the difference between "us" and "them" is that we are SUPPOSED to do our giving, and our loving the way christ would love.

    i sat there and thought about it... and im about 102% sure that that lady probably would go out and volunteer weekly at a soup line. i hate the fact that i just judged, but... hey... lets just say she didnt. she can be exhibit a. exhibit a proves one of the most irritating facts about modern christians... were so 2 faced. i find myself guilty of crediting myself for loving giving just based on my intentions. like... "oh, look at that guy that needs help changing his tire... it would be very christlike to go help him. its too bad im on my way to go to my bible study where we will talk about the love of christ."

    i dont know...

    i miss your face.
