10. It would give me the chance to do "The Reason" by Hoobastank in worship.
I'm sorry that I hurt You. It's something that I live with everyday....and all the pain I put You thru, I wish that I could take it all away,  and be the one who catches all your tears. That's why I need You to hear...
I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be. A reason to start over new... and the reason is You.


.... sounds like a desperate plea for forgiveness to me. It's where we all belong... on our knees..

Bored Into My Mind

What did I do before twitter? Before facebook, TV, books? I used to play. Why don't we play anymore? Well, to be accurate I do still play, people just think that I am slightly off, like when I go play in the rain, I also like to go for walks in the rain. Books also occupy my time, although I have a tendency to read several books at once.
Anyway, I posted this question to twitter, and Facebook and here are some of your responses :

@dotcomlarry (twitter) plays video games (I used to be addicted dude)
Jim Hardin (fb) finds something to laugh about (I like the intentionality in that Jim)
Joe Bates (fb) reads... "Sparkling Gems from the Greek" by Rick Renner. I agree Joe, English does not do scripture complete justice.
@jasonlack (twitter) a very good friend, as real as rain, said this "I used to use porn to cure my boredom, now I use Jesus and my family" - thanks for your transparency dude.
@Kay4NJ (twitter) never gets bored. Never??

I started to wonder if, in our age of instant gratification, boredom has become commonplace, because the act of discovery, the act of finding in a slow and unfolding way, has become lost in the world of the WWW.
I have found that when I am bored, I focus best on the act of discovery, it cures my boredom, and the things I learn, process, retain and enjoy have been...well, bored into my mind, and I find I am no longer bored out of my mind.
Thanks for sharing...peace in (as opposed to out).
