I can be so rich in my own poverty, or in the awareness of the fact that I am nobody, that I will never be a disciple of Jesus. Or I can be so rich in the awareness that I am somebody that I will never be a disciple. Am I willing to be destitute and poor even in my sense of awareness of my destitution and poverty? If not, that is why I become discouraged. Discouragement is disillusioned self-love, and self-love may be love for my devotion to Jesus— not love for Jesus Himself.

AWAY TO AMSTERDAM

Welcome to the biggest tease of all time. I’m not in New York at all. I’m in Newark. NOT the same.

I’m pretty displeased, especially considering from the airport I can almost make out the Manhattan skyline through the haze.
AWAY TO NEWARKbaha, you’re in jersey.

A Real Man
I don’t buy that “Man Cave” crap for one second. It’s just another marketing ploy by advertisers to sell me more things to make me feel secure in my masculinity. No real man needs a converted garage/spare bedroom to turn into a sort-of bar complete with dbag beer posters and cardboard cutouts where he can hang out with his neutered sort of friends.
I’ve decided that all a real man needs is a wood-paneled study and a good library. A place where he can smoke his pipes and drink a good single malt scotch, and most importantly, be alone in his thoughts. No blaring TVs or mini-kegs or posters that border on indecent. Just you, maybe a few close friends from time to time, and that’s all.
Man, I wish I had a study.

The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship.

Calvinism: This post chose you; Armenianism: You chose this post
- Chris: Just passed some place called Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College.
- Michael: You don't choose the college. It chooses you. Maybe. Or not.
- Chris: Someone divided by zero and consequently that college spontaneously generated.

But Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said that the teardown would be anything but green. Demolishing “a perfectly good building,” Mr. Moe said, is “antithetical to the idea of sustainability.”
Mr. Moe said it could take 50 years or more for even a highly efficient building to save as much energy as is expended in the demolition and construction processes. Calling the developer’s plan green, he said, “boggles the imagination.”

or, why any sustainable new construction is counteracted by the green police.
