i repent of my pursuit of America’s dream
i repent of living like i deserve anything
my house, my fence, my kids, and my wife in our suburb where we’re safe and white
i am wrong and of these things i repent

i repent of parading my liberty
i repent of paying forvwhat i get for free
the way i believe that i am living right
by trading sins for others that are easier to hide
i am wrong and of these things i repent

i repent judging by a law that even i can’t keep
wearin righteousness like a disguise to see through
the planks in my own eyes

i repent of trading truth for false unity
i repent of confusing peace and idolatry
of caring more of what they think than what i know of what they need
and domesticating You until You look just like me
i am wrong and of these things i repent

I’m almost done with this semester. It’s been a bit tough since I have been so sick. But I am trying to finish as well as I can. My finals aren’t going to be too bad, so I’m pretty stoked about that. My only real final assignment left is my sermon on Titus 3 which I’ll be giving on tuesday (the 7th). You can pray for me if you think about that!

Otherwise things are going well. I’m in my World Lit. class right now and we’re talking about Asian worldview. It’s been fun. Anyways.. small post today, but it needed to be done. peace.

Came to my parents for thanksgiving this year. They live in the desert. I grew up in the desert my entire life until I went to the Master’s college. This past weekend they got a freak snow storm though and so those pics above are of the mountains outside of my house and the other one is just a desert snow scene that Bethany took from the car when we were coming here.
I had written some other stuff here, but the stupid blog server is all bogged down. So.. Happy Thanksgiving!.. (ps. I went to a place and ate some food.. there was like 4 professional chefs.. and then I went and saw “National Treasure”… go see it).. bye.

do you remember when you were school and there was that one really cool teacher that would play music during tests and class? I remember that. I was just thinking about that because I was just sitting here and listening to music and doing homework. college kids do it a lot. I don’t know, whatever. I went to the basketball game tonight. we lost, by 2. It made me sad. I really shouldn’t be attending high level stressful basketball games in my condition. what’s my condition? glad you asked. I have sinusitus. If you want more info, just search it on google. seriously, I bet you didn’t even think it existed. but you know what? I went to the doctor for the second time this week and they are talking surgery… seriously, no joke. they have to drain my sinuses. ok.. it’s probably going to freakin’ hurt. I’m sad, but I’d rather hurt once then ever day. <- sounds like a good emo song title “I’d rather hurt once then every day.” I think I’ll write it.. yeah.. that would be great. yet, right now I have no emotion. the pain in my sinuses is enough for me to take pain killer, so i did. one more thing.. “I thought about what you said, and its not your money.” - The Juliana Theory

that seriously was the most interesting combination. I mean, the fact that USC played The Master’s College (where I attend) was really interesting. Two of my three roommates play for our basketball team and a bunch of us went down and watched them play at USC tonight. We got slaughtered, but that’s beside the point. Let’s review the facts: USC student attendance 1,000,000,000,000,000 (rounded to the nearest biltrillkilltonth) and Master’s (maybe 1500 on a good year). So I think the final score showed us having half the points they did, but I think we played well and the guys really like the competition. Later we just did some hangout time with all the kids. we tried to go to bob’s big boy but it didn’t work out. hour long waiting list with 9 people isn’t gonna get the job done. so we decided to do the next best thing and go to the nearest starbucks (right next door). we laughed and giggled and basically took the place over. it made me very happy. but hey. I am taking vicodin right now so anything could seriously make me giggle. i guess that’s all for me. and if you’re wondering why I am taking vicodin, well ask your doctor about sinusitus. ok bye.
