on worship, or why some is ‘better’ than others

It’s 2:18 a.m. Therefore I’m not sure how concise this post will be.
(The case could probably be made that I am rarely concise anyway.)
I’ve been thinking about a lot of random stuff. Nothing life-or-death, really — just things that come up now and then, and I think about them for a while, and then they [...]

on upcoming movies

Edited, ’cause I got Avatar mixed up with The Last Airbender. Thanks, Candace!

I did a pretty good job at keeping up with movies this summer. I saw all of the big blockbusters except for Up (which I still plan on seeing, except it’ll probably have to be on DVD) and I also saw My Sister’s [...]

wake me when september comes

(Yes, I know, the song title’s actually ‘when September ends,’ but whatevs, it didn’t fit my purpose like that, so I tweaked it. Sue me. Or, rather, don’t, as I have no money.)
I find it odd that so many Whedonverse fanatics loathe Dollhouse. I’ll be the first to say that yes, the first two episodes [...]

no apology necessary

Sergeant James Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department has said emphatically that he will not be apologizing to Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates.
And he shouldn’t. He has no reason to. The man did his job, plain and simple. It was Mr. Gates who immediately escalated the matter into one of ’systemic racism’ with no provocation.
Words [...]

trends

I don’t know what made this pop into my head, but I realized that I don’t watch traditional dramas any longer. Gossip Girl was my last holdout. There’s a chance Happy Town might make the cut — Amy Acker’s in it, so I’m giving it a trial run next spring — but other than that, [...]

i’ve had enough of living life for only me

I’ve had enough of living life for only me
And reaching just for the things that keep destroying me
So sick of envying the lives of so many I meet
Somehow believing that they have what I need…
I think somewhere I have talked about how powerful the words of Psalm 73 are for me. I won’t talk much [...]

at the end of it all

I feel like I’ve blogged this a couple times (I’m sure I’ve deleted them, though). You would think I would actually learn my lesson, but no. I’m apparently really slow.
Anyway, I haven’t been to church in a couple months. It’s a combination of laziness and wanting a day where I can just sleep in and [...]

vigilance

I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to be a bit better when it comes to what I watch with K&M. (We stick to Disney, Nick, and stuff like Sound of Music and Annie with the little kids.)
My rationale with borderline stuff was that their father allowed them to watch much worse than that [...]

what’s the definition of ‘tolerance’ again?

Oh, the Left. How they love to throw around the word ‘tolerance.’ They’re so wonderfully open-minded and tolerant while the Right is opposed to tolerance altogether.
Right.
I’m intolerant because I don’t want to have a politically correct values system with which I don’t agree forced down my (future) childrens’ throats at public schools that receive my [...]

this is not forever

“It scares me to think that I would choose my life over You;
My selfish heart divides me from You, it tears us apart…”
Why is it that God always seems to use BarlowGirl to wake me up? I’d gotten away from listening to Christian music for a while. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t [...]
