Life?

I think I've found the next level of nerdom. I got a microphone for compy, and then starting talking to that crazy college kid who used to inhabit the core. It's like a phone, except better.

I'm also reading the screwtape letters. At one point they talk of getting their patients to do nothing, because good thoughts are nice and all, but they don't do anything. I can have all the thought's I want, and I can even put them on the internet for the world to see, then feel good about sharing these wonderful thoughts, but if they aren't acted upon, they come to nothing. I've pretty much been doing nothing...They must have found me. Darn.

Later on in that same book, they speak of what the enemy wants us, their patients, to be. People who rejoice in all creatures, including other people and ourselves. People who rejoice in the birds and the sky. People who, if told by God to go build the best cathedral in the world, would go do it, and then rejoice in it as if someone else had build it. That's so good hey? So I have a new goal in life.

Then Friday night, Andrew said just close your eyes for five minutes and think about a word. Ask God or the Holy Spirit to show you something about that thing. To explain it. Or something like that. So I chose rejoicing, because you don't see a lot of people rejoicing now and days. And if you do, it isn't called that anymore. So I was just kind of chilling there, thinking about it. Have you ever heard that song that goes like 'rejo-o-o-o-ice in the Lord, Rejo-o-o-oice in the Lord, Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejo-o-o-o-oice'? That was fun. Maybe I should type out more songs. Anyway, that song was going around in my head. So I thought about how if you seek you will find, so a heart goes out to find Jesus, then they come back and he's there in the heart, saying 'hey' or something. And it would be like a party. In conclusion, to rejoice is to have a party going on in your heart. Or something like that that makes sense.

Speaking of Friday, that was crazy! There was this guy who Sarah found outside and brought him in. His name is Ted. He is actually amazing! He's pretty much a ninja, and funny, and just sweet. And...songs were sung. Happy birthday Andrew.

And today we watched Crash. It made me question what was important in life. Deciding that school wasn't up there didn't help my motivation. Or, should I say, my LACK of motivation. My aunt Ella phoned yesterday. She told me I should go into computers and stuff and get rich quick, cuz that's where the money is. She told a story about a guy who used to be their friend, but then made lots of money and doesn't talk to them anymore. She says that's what life is all about.

I disagree. I'd rather think life was about rejoicing in creation.

What do you think life is about??
