Christians=manure

Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.

Good quote. So true. And made me laugh. :)

The Office MUSICAL! :)

This was stolen from Steph, but totally worth it:

Disturb us, Lord

I found this on my friend Mike's blog. It is the prayer of Sir Francis Drake. I think this is exactly the prayer I should be praying right now in my life.

Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when
with the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wilder seas
Where storms will show Your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.

We ask you to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push back the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love.

This we ask in the name of our Captain,
Who is Jesus Christ.

Statistics...

Another good reason why I firmly believe that Young Adults are more important to win for Christ than most churches realize...

oooooooooo breakfast!

So many reasons to be excited for heaven... I didn't know that no mo' bacon would be one of them! :0

(For those who don't know my deep love for breakfast meats, I apologize!)

It's never too late to work on a phony Irish accent.

I love U2. And Irish Accents. Therefore I posted this video. :)

Lost generation...

My prayer for the youth of the church... and for the leaders.

CUTE! :)

Cutest thing ever. Again, kids never fail to amaze me with their cuteness and excitement! :)

Pay it forward?

Why does it surprise me so much when people in the real world are nice to people?

For example, I am trying to get pre-approved for a mortgage on my dream condo. (Yes, I found one, now let's just see if it is a financially responsible decision...)

The lady I was working with last night with the numbers and figures was sooo nice. Even though she worked for the big-bad bank who could easily go about it all tough and business like and meanly come flat out and say, "Well you don't make tons of money, so know that this is going to be painful." She had such an encouraging and nice attitude. She made me feel like I did something right in this process by saving. She encouraged me not to be worried because you never know what could happen. She even said how proud of me she was for being so realistic in what I could afford.

Why is this so suprising to me? Shouldn't everyone be like this? It sounds so cliche, but what a different place the world would be if everyone went about their career this way. That woman truely made me think about how I interact with others at my job. And how I can do it better. Thanks, key bank lady! :)
