It Rings True During My Times of Doubt
"Like all true believers, I am truly skeptical of all that I have said."
- Over the Rhine, The World Can Wait
"As an act of love, prayer is a courageous act. It is a risk we take. It is a life-and-death risk, believing in the promises of the gospel, that God's love is indeed operative in the world. In prayer we have the courage, perhaps even the presumption and the arrogance or the audacity to claim that God's love can be operative in the very specific situations of human need that we encounter."
- John E. Biersdorf, excerpt from Healing of Purpose
Some Lesser Known Tidbits (Tagged)
I was tagged a while back by Joy and I put off posting because I had a hard time thinking of six interesting things to say. All I wanted to do at that time was complain, but I don't think pet peeves should count (and I have much more than six of those).
Here are the rules: Each player of this game starts with the 6 weirdest things about them. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own about their 6 weirdest things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment on their blog that informs them they are tagged and tell them to read your blog.
1. I have licked a salt block. It was blue, like this one.
2. I'm not a masochist, but I like bruises, especially big purple and blue ones. I take pictures of them. (See profile.)
3. Unless someone has just exercised, or is standing right next to me, I don't like hearing them breathe. I'm glad they're breathing and that they're alive, but I don't want to hear it.
4. I have been cursed in the hair and teeth department. I condition my hair every day and get regular hair cuts, but I always have split ends. I brush my teeth multiple times a day, floss, and visit the dentist every six months, but I'm diagnosed with at least one cavity every time.
5. My 24th birthday was the worst day of my life, for reasons other than turning 24. My 25th birthday was one of the best.
6. I love the Paul Frank brand of clothing, and my favourite characters are the Hot Cocoa Rapids Riders - by day they're EMTs, and by night they're adventurers seeking mini marshmallow mayhem.

Push Someone Today
'Cuz it's Shove Tuesday!
I mean, Shrove Tuesday - pancake day. Ask Rudy how many of his mom's pancakes he can eat in one sitting; it's in the double digits. Me, I can eat two... maybe three. I should start training to compete with him.
An aside: I didn't mean to make it sound like he lives with his mother. He doesn't. But, there is a funny story about him being hit on a while back and declining the woman's offer for dinner because he already had plans to go to his parents'. However, it came out as: "My mom's making me dinner."
