i decided to move all my rss feeds to my blackberry, i figured since i carry it around with me everywhere i go then i could do all my reading in the quiet times of times instead of using up work time to do so…i was wrong. the screen is way too small. but now i have an iPad, and as soon as i have my internet connection sorted i will move my feed over and will start reading again and will then be able to add more reads to this space. sorry about the inconsistency the last few weeks.

One’s faith should be like DNA. No matter what they are involved in, no matter what career choice, no matter who they encounter it simply should be ingrained, and a part of them. My faith is simply a part of me. I can no easier remove my belief in Jesus than remove my cells or heart. -Stephen Christian of Anberlin

But pain… seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain? – Lois McMaster Bujold
We cannot put off living until we are ready. The most salient characteristic of life is its coerciveness: it is always urgent, here and now, without any possible postponement. Life is fired at us point bland. – Ortega Y’Gasset (via katdish)

where have all the good men gone – bruce ?
a poverty theology parable – mark driscoll (a lot of bloggers and christians i admire were very anti this post, but i totally loved it, totally spoke to me. maybe i’m reading it wrong. but to me it’s not just talking about financial wealth, but just god’s gifts in general, which include finances but can also be other stuff like health and gifts and talents etc and as someone who always struggles with the concept of having while others don’t, or being invited when others aren’t, i get it…it speaks to me…sorry, for the mini-post within a post)
your thorn may be in you, but your thorn doesn’t have you – carlos whittaker
A la carte Jesus – Jon Acuff
hamba kahle, go well – Che Kershaw
RIP Steve Jobs:
===============================
[anyone who knows me will know i'm definitely not an apple fan. but i do give props where probs are due. and steve jobs is a legend. he did awesome things in the technology sector. and his name will go down in history as one of the greats. someone said that steve jobs is my generation's walt disney...i can't argue with that...]
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.
We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.
We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them.

We don’t beat the Grim Reaper by living longer, we beat the Reaper by living well and living fully, for the Reaper will come for all of us.

quotes of the week:
========================
“The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them. - Lois McMaster Bujold
“To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there. The hardest situation to stay happy in, I think, is when you’re trying to find love, and yourself at the same time. It just doesn’t seem to fit well. So I believe that happiness is being able to wake up and just know that this is what you wanted, and not what somebody else wanted. And remember, a smile is contagious!” - Sophia Bush
