I miss that night when we sang praise songs to the God of the universe. I miss sitting under that stars and being completely in awe of how amazing God really is. I miss the feel of your arms around me on that night. You always made me feel warm and safe when everything was broken. I know you won't read this, but I think about you often, pray for you more, and hope that someday, we will get another night under the stars.

Matthias replaces Judas

Ok, so this is just a, "this is an awesome song and an awesome version", post. Here's the lyrics to the song Matthias Replaces Judas by Showbread. This one girl does it on youtube and her channel is ooaLiCiAMaRiEoo. She is pretty cool, you should go check her out. Ok, so, the lyrics :)

It is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit,
The sun has scorched the rising plans;
Alas they have no root
The bleached bones of animals bound by leather strips
Dance through the air with laughter as I wield this wicked whip
As you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart
So easily I disparage, self-seeking the work of my art
And there You have come to me at the moment I bathe in my sorrow
So in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow
Where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?
And offer to wash my feet as I offer to disobey You (my favorite line)
Your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail
So faithfully and dutifully I award You with betrayal
The weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs
As I walk past a smile I cast, fervor in my stead
But my bones like plastic, do buckle backward now
I lay in this field by Judas and anticipate the plow
I can not be forgiven; my wages will be paid
For those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved
And where would I fit Jesus?
What place is left for me?
The price of atonement is more than I've found to offer up as my plea
Jesus, my heart is all I have to give to You
So weak and so unworthy:
This simply will not do
No alabaster jar, no diamond in the rough
For Your body that was broken, how can this be enough?
By me You were abandoned
By me You were betrayed
Yet in Your arms and in Your heart forever I have stayed
Your glory illuminates my life
And no darkness will descend
For You have loved me forever
And You love will never end.

"I'm glad my citizenship is in heaven, the ultimate red state."
What a revolting remark.
Are you seriously suggesting that there won't be any democrats/moderates/independts in heaven?
Well, gee, I guess I'm out, then...

P.S. Even if you are "joking", that is a truly offensive statement.

I am eerily calm right now. I am not surprised that Obama won. Everybody be non-pyscho and just pray for him and all that are in his circle of influence. Instead of making stupid comments about things that we can't change, lets make a conscience effort to pray for the man who will be dictating some very serious issues in the next four years, if we have that many.

I have already read comments from people who are my friends on facebook about how they hope judgement comes quickly. I don't want judgement. My hope and desire is that the Obama's would come to know and fully depend on Jesus, not that God would send "swift and thorough" judgement, as it was put so bluntly on facebook...

As for the future, I think that we may be nearing the end, but, and this is a big but, none of us know. Lets live everyday like there is no tomorrow and not worry about whether or not the world is coming to an end. I really don't care. Jesus is going to come back, that I know, but I'm choosing not to let thinking about if it will happen in the next four years become something that takes up too much of my time.

I truly believe that we, as Christians, should minister all the time. This is a challenge for me because I think that if I start a conversation about Jesus, people will think that I'm nuts, but I have decided that a life restored for Jesus is worth a moment of potential awkwardness. Lets go out and live Jesus, breath Jesus, and TALK about Jesus. It's awesome if we know and read and talk TO Him, in fact, it is completely!!! necessary, but we have to spread it around by talking ABOUT Him.

Alright, so, in closing, lets not worry about this country, lets prayer for this country and it's new president/first family. Lets not forget about Biden, either. Because, if Obama gets assassinated, which may well happen in this country because racism is still rampant enough for that to be a possibility, Biden is it.

PRAY.
