Love-ology

I like these events. I’m always really glad that John Mark is saying what he says. One little point that I like is that chick flicks portray unrealistically amazing guys. But I think girls have it worse; there’s even more pressure on girls for an even more unrealistic standard that’s pushed all the time. Anyway, the problem with the event is that John Mark shared a bunch of stories he’s already shared before. The sermon on Isaac and Rebecca is one he’s given before. He did a Love-ology series at the Way a few years ago. Not many people have been part of Solid Rock for that long though. Maybe that’s a helpful thing about the age cutoff.

I think Mike Erre’s a great speaker. And I saw that Mike Erre was speaking at this thing too. So I ordered a book by him called Why Guys Need God. It’s a good book. He gives some new insights, but he quotes Stu Weber and John Eldredge a lot. You could even say his book was a conflation of the best parts of their books, and I’ve read those books, so it wasn’t super eye-opening for me, but I still say it’s a good book. And Mike Erre's preaching at the event was like a summary of his book. Nothing's perfect, but it was still a great event.

Hilarious…

New Blog

I saw that a choice for the layout was Awesome Inc. I thought it looked awesome, so I chose it. Then I checked Dik's blog and saw they were the same, so I had stolen it, so I might change mine soon. Some bloggers are unhappy with infringement. I still think a lot of blogging culture is weird.

I loved Billy Boyd's and Dominic Monaghan's comments during the cast commentary in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. They had such great lines as "You know The Two Towers could have also been called The Adventures of Merry and Pippin" and "Welcome to The Return of the King. Or, as it was originally called, The Return of Merry." I've combined those two comments into this blog title. So there you have it.

There may be others, but I know for sure that Dikih and Dra are close enough friends to read the drivel that oozes out of my mind onto this blog. And we all live in different cities so it's just another tool for helping stay connected. I'm still not a natural blogger, but, especially when I have friends that blog, I'm happy to return the favor of providing procrastination material. Though "tit for tat" is not a valid approach to life, but I'm always happy to return kindness, so it is kind of like "quid pro quo." Hence, quidproblog.blogspot.com

I had a blog to chronicle my DTS experience. It included honest yet critical (as well as positive) remarks of the DTS, YWAM, and even my teammates. So I had to keep it private. But my account got hacked once and everyone lost their access. Plus there were a couple problems with the email invites. Anyway, I've made it public now, so if anyone wants to know way more than you should get to know about me, here's the link: http://notthelostisland.blogspot.com. Enjoy.
