“It’s like being in love. ‘It’s amazing… and I’m scared to death.’”

Jon Foreman

Wow, it looks like it’s been a long time since i’ve updated something.

So it’s something to hold you guys back for my next update. Blows dust away.

“Everybody’s gotta learn sometimes.”

“I was thinking about how love (not just lust or codependency that commonly flood the tunes on the airways) actually involves quite a bit of faith. There’s a lot of letting go involved. Two souls in love is an intricate dance of give and take..”

“I remember I was at this weird place in life, in college… I mean college is a weird time. It’s that transition, and there’s always a girl involved, and there’s always the whole life story, of what am I going to do with the rest my life involved. And I’m driving down this mountain late at night and the moon is pretty much the only other light, other than the headlights, and it’s this windy road and I’m coming back down to San Diego and I’m listening to James Taylor… and that one moment, for me, was a defining moment. Because I mean, I’ve been to a James Taylor concert and I felt super out of place, so it wasn’t so much the idea that these are songs I’ve heard on the radio and everyone knows them. Sometimes that song that you’ve heard a lot of times it just somehow grabs you, and that was kind of a moment for me.”

Jon Foreman of Switchfoot

In the midst of Friends.
Voicing out should have, maybes, could haves.

In the midst of Lover,
Speaking on love, spectacular feats, broken promises.

In the midst of Brothers,
being reminded of holding on, going strong, brotherhood.

In the midst of Sisters,
talking about encouragements, not giving up, breaking through.

In the midst of laughter, tears and hope.
I saw people, learning to breathe again.
Learning how to die, learning how to see, learning how to trust once again.

In the midst of it all, stood a man.
and you, through passing on. Defined a moment.
Defined what it is to live. what it is to be alive.

In the midst of it all.
i saw a hope through your eyes. a hope to change the world.

and you did.

In Loving Memory of Joash Wee

Final string of fire pulsing through his veins.

The heart beats for the final time.

People around him wept.

Father sits at the edge of His throne.

Only heaven knows why.

The life he left behind.

Could be the only cure for the pain.

In the Loving memory of Joash Wee.

At times, i am rendered breathless.

“For all the things inadequate, Well nobody will be gratified.
Mixed of thoughts of greed, normality. Massacres of the unfortunate.
The future is, yeah, totally in vague. Arousing hatred, resentful features.”

- Barricade, Love me Butch

We don’t see it everyday.
i guess we either hide the fact that we are. in deed, do speak hate everyday.
Against brother, country, situation. Whether knowingly or unknowingly.

“I hate my college bus system!”
“This whole government system, is really bad.”

Others run away.
and yet still, from a far. still speak about it, expecting the people within to change the system from within.

“I look around and I know there’s a lot in the world that I want to see changed–and I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to see things change, in myself as much as in the world around me.”

- Jon foreman.

First and foremost, the change within ourselves.
A battle with yourself, hardest warfare you can ever fight. and it’s always on-going.
A change in spirit and attitude.

Be it apathy, hate, disrespect, fear.

it all has to bow to the will of wanting change for the better.
the will of Jesus, the will of the Holy Spirit.
A fight for change within myself, ourselves and our all around.

It so easy to let hate out of our lips, speak love.
To brothers, Country.
and to your situation.

Before you start with changing where you are.
Start with what you speak.

Life or Death, you choose.

¹⁸ There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

Proverbs 12:18 (NKJV)

I’m still trying.
and i wanna speak love.

I’m trying my best.

I wanna speak love and see change.

“Christ will never be cool. Terrifying, life-changing, shocking, and iconoclastic, but never cool. Jesus is not my homeboy. The Gospel will always be relevant but never trendy.” – Jon foreman.

Why try so hard to be cool when you could be relevant?

Paul was never cool, infact he was much cooler when he was trying to bring down Christianity among the jews.
he had gangs following him around to be “cool”

Guess what.

When he was Relevant. People listen.
Jesus was relevant, Crowds follow him.  thousand of people are just waiting around him just waiting for him to say something that could change their life, which it did.

People drawn to relevant things. cool things. not so much.
I guess people are craving for something deeper than just cool.

Things that touches the heart would mean more that then external.

Relevant is the word.

Love is always relevant. and i guess thats what Jesus did.

He loved.

Shouldn’t we be relevant also and love?
