Where's the passion in our generation? I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say that much of our generation runs around passionless. Many of us seem to be continually searching for the next "fix". The next girl, the next drink, the next trip, the next test, etc.

We live our lives in a constant countdown because it seems that living just for today is not enough. We've been trained to overlook the simplest and at times most intricate and beautiful parts of life. The way a sunset lights up the evening sky. A warm day in March. Being surrounded by people who truly care about you. The list goes on. The blessings go on. But are we oblivious?

What would you die for?
A family member? A friend? A cause?
I once heard a quote stating that finding something to die for is easy... but finding something to live for is where our passion is truly tested.

What are you living for? When all is said and done at the end of the day, as you lay awake in your bed, is it enough? Do you rest easy? Or are you searching for the next best thing to come your way? I hope you can lay down, close your eyes, and know that you are loved beyond belief. I hope there are people in your life to help give you a glimpse of what that feels like. Because you won't know how to love until you've been loved.

"It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience." ~Julius Caesar

Simply awesome man. Seriously, I really liked it.

I appreciate the slap, I really do.

I wasn't listing off things looking for pity (although I can see how that looked that way). I was really just trying to say things that I normally would never have the nerve to say face to face.

I do feel that I am in a very strong community that is pushing me to Christ. The openness I feel with those that I am truly in community with are why I feel I can write things like that and not get cut off from the community.

I've read abba's child. I could probably read it again, but I hope you don't think that I'm necessarily off the deep end. This was just how I chose to express some thought I had in my head.

Thanks for caring man.

P.S. I love you too. We should talk more.

Love the quote. It's so much more difficult to endure life and trials. But wow does God have something for those who do endure James 1:2-4

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that vehicle accident my life would be changed always. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be in pain for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How bad was it? I has bedridden for 7 months, I had to have constant care and my medical bills went through the roof!

Fortunately, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this month to tell you more about what I have been going through.

If you need an accident attorney try the guys at

По большому счёту я с вами согласен. Просто некоторым кажется, что им обязательно надо чем-то выделиться из общей массы. А чем выделяться, это уже не важно.
