There are plenty of good reasons for fighting,” I said, “but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where’s evil? It’s that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

It’s got a nice feel to it, i think.

Maybe i’ll extend a few parts, but who knows.

under the overpass

michellelively:

“What do you do when a good tree bears bad fruit or a bad tree bears good fruit?

Look harder.

What’s your definition of a Christian? Is it broad enough to encompass the drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes, and broken people of the world? Jesus said that he came to heal the sick. Drug addicts are messed up just the same as liars are messed up, just the same as all humans are messed up. We all need Jesus. We all struggle with personal ways in which sin plays itself out in our lives.

What’s worse? To not do dope or to not love your brother? Why do we kick drug users out of the church while quietly ignoring those who aren’t dealing with other, equally destructive sins? Why do we reject the loving, self-sacrificing, giving, encouraging, Jesus-pursuing drug addict but recruit the clean, self-interested, gossiping, loveless churchgoer?

Which one do you suppose Jesus would rather share a burrito with under a bridge?”

Ryan: Did this happen on company property?

Michael Scott: It was on company property, with company property. So, double jeopardy, we’re fine.

Ryan: I don’t think— I don’t think you understand how jeopardy works.

Michael Scott: Oh, I’m sorry. What is, ‘we’re fine’?

First post since being back in the states. I’m not sure if I’m breaking any rules of my ‘trip to Italy’ blog, but I’ll post occasionally. I’m in East Texas right now. Family Christmas is getting weirder and weirder to me for some reason. I always thought it was supposed to be a time for you to be able to relax? I guess it is supposed to be, kind of like Christmas is supposed to be about a lot of things it isn’t.

Welp, see you later Italy.

The title just about says it all.

It has been real.

It has been fun.

I just realized that i posed all this entire series in chronological order, but it will show up completely reversed when reading the blog….So follow THIS LINK to the page and start reading from the bottom if you want to get the full story. Otherwise, you wont understand some of the captions. If you just want to look at the pictures, by all means look at them backwards.
