(*nudge nudge, wink wink*) :-D yeah, i like moves, but i like my other colognes, too. i also use polo sport, and nautica, but my FAVORITE is anchor blue GRIND. ooooh ... my mommy bought me a sampler of that one ... good stuff. silly billy bob. -bj
my sister almost killed me today. we were driving home from target and she bumps the car thingy and shifts the car into neutral ... meanwhile, i don't know what just happened ... it was frightening ... lucklily she tells me that she bumped something and i shift back to drive ... good thing no cars were around speaking of my sister ... "did you know that if you open up microsoft word and type at a size '1' font and then magnify the screen to 500%, you still can't see anything?" ummm ... and they've got the mirror! -bj

so ... i started up my discipleship time with matt fong again ... it was good ... we covered some good stuff. he gave me some good advice on finding God's will. you know what's an interesting topic? prayer. i guess i don't really know a lot about prayer. i mean, it's funny. i believe that God is sovereign. i believe that our prayers make a difference. can these two statements co-exist? if God is sovereign, how can our prayers make a difference? let's say a whole church prayers to heal a man's cancer. God answers the prayers and heals the man. Now let's say that the church doesn't pray for the man. Does God still heal the man? I think in some cases, He might not. God answers prayer. Our prayers make a difference. How then can God be sovereign? Hmmm ... something I've wondered about. Anyway, I guess I believe that both are true, but I don't have to understand it - just like I believe in the trinity, but I don't understand how the trinity can possibly exist. some things are tiny human brains can't comprehend ... today we had a rep from berkland church talk to us at h2o. he also talked to absk at berkeley. it was pretty interesting. he talked about how absk went about its goal of outreach. it was an encouragement for me, personally, because i've been looking to get more involved with outreach on Berkeley's campus. matt also talked about the three stories evangelism method ... it's pretty cool. basically there are three stories involved when we try to evangelize to others - our story, God's story, and the story of the person we are trying to reach. the first step is getting our story closer to God's story. we have to grow closer to God before we can reach others. the next step is to get our story to intersect with the other person's story. we can do that by listening to them and forming a relationship with them. the next step is getting their story to match up with God's story ... it's an interesting way of thinking about evangelism, i think. :-D like meteors and be gay -bj

We are Jesus' hands and feet. We are the vessels God uses to achieve His will. We are His hands and feet, but we aren't His head. To truly be used by God, we must adhere to God's will. To be Jesus' hands and feet mean to be pierced and broken, just as His hands and feet were pierced and broken. We must have a broken spirit, willing to do whatever He asks of us. I wanna be Your hands I wanna be Your feet I'll go where You send me Go where You send me ... ("Hands and Feet" by Audio Adrenaline) true love waits -bj
On maturity My mom thinks I'm immature. She says that a college-aged boy should not be watching cartoons. My sisters think I'm immature. They say that a college-aged boy shouldn't be jumping around and dancing all the time. Is maturity defined by not watching cartoons and not jumping around and being goofy? No. Maturity is being fully-developed. Maturity is having the mindset of an adult. The same is true with spiritual maturity. Spritual maturity is thinking how an "adult Christian" would think. Spiritual maturity isn't necessarily serving in the church. Spiritual maturity isn't necessarily praying every day and confessing sins. These are all a part of being spiritually mature, but these things in and of itself do not define spiritual maturity. Spritual maturity comes as we grow closer and closer to the heart of God, and yet discover more and more how far away He truly is - not in terms of distance; God is a friend that's closer than a brother. As a Christian becomes mature, he discovers more and more how great God is, and how sinful we are. Maturity is when we discover how truly immature we really are. i wanna run through the halls of my high school -bj

"Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is you! Let nothing be lost upon you." -Oscar Wilde That's from The Picture of Dorian Gray. I've been reading that lately. I really like that quote. Too bad it's about hedonism. oh yeah, I LOVE THIS SONG. It reminds me of myself. Send this site to a friend John Mayer My Stupid Mouth My stupid mouth Has got me in trouble I said too much again To a date over dinner yesterday And I could see She was offended She said "well anyway..." Just dying for a subject change Oh, another social casualty Score one more for me How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess I better find one soon We bit our lips She looked out the window Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker And I could see clearly An indelible line was drawn Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong Oh, the way she feels about me has changed Thanks for playing, try again. How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess he better find one I'm never speaking up again It only hurts me I'd rather be a mystery Than she desert me Oh I'm never speaking up again Starting now One more thing Why is it my fault? So maybe I try too hard But it's all because of this desire I just wanna be liked I just wanna be funny Looks like the jokes on me So call me captain backfire Oh, the way she feels about me has changed Thanks for playing, try again. How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess he better find one I'm never speaking up again It only hurts me I'd rather be a mystery Than she desert me Oh I'm never speaking up again Starting now score one more for me -bj
