So you say there is no hope. Maybe God is dead and gone.
So you think that he can't break a heart that's harder than a stone?
So you feel so wrecked and dirty, he could never make you new?
Man, have I got news for you.
I'm so compelled to tell you that it's true, so true: listen, I've got news for you.

-I've Got News Andrew Peterson

I love Andrew Peterson.
You should get his new CD.

There's been alot in my head as of late but I just can't seem to find the words to go along with the stuff that is stuck in my head. It is a very obnoxious thing.

At this moment in time though my head is clear and I am just relaxing in the wonderful green place that is my room. Listening to my parents watching Gladiator--which btw is an excellent movie, just for the record.

Wait...never mind my head is not a clear place. =P

"The joy doesn't come from the suffering the joy comes from knowing what's on the other side."

"See I think at the bottom end of all of this--the reason we don't want to suffer, the reason all of us struggle through sacrifice; is I don't think we honestly believe that on the otherside of death there is something better than what this world has to offer."
Todd Nighswonger

Do I really believe that there is something better than this life?

Ok grant it we can all gripe and moan about how awful life is at times but honestly, walk outside on a beautiful day when everything is going the way you would like it to. Walk outside take a big deep breath and then tell me if there is really something better out there for you.

Seriously tell me that. Don't just spout it off because you've been taught it your entire life. Don't tell me that with a voice that lacks a real passion, or even a voice that tries to conger up passion where there is none.

Deep, deep, deep down do you really think that on the otherside of death there is something far better than what this world has to offer?

Do you really?

Do I really?

Then why don't we live like it alot of times?

Why do we pour so much of yourselves and our resources into....now.?

I want that passion that is contagious.

Yes.......

Anyways.

What to do with life kids what to do with life....

Home Again!

Rejoice oh little children, Ming is finally home.

Ok ok, so I was gone for just over a day--but I agree with Stephen, it feels longer when you're out of town.

This is going to be a....I'm not even sure what to call it but it'll be an update.

Car ride up--pretty mundane. I listened to a lot of music though. Andrew Peterson and Downhere are my friends. But that's another conversation for another time.

Jun-Fung and Alex played...who knows what and Ying and Emily played Sims on Emily's laptop.

Anyways....hmmm yes.

People can be interesting.

Take that as you would like to take it.

It honestly is refering to many things going on in my head right now, so it's not one specific thing.

So yeah.

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten

I like this song.
