I got the internship (don’t remember if I told yall or not) and I’m putting together a worship cd for camp that we can sing along to. Any time I’m put in charge of music for anything, I like to run without it. Help me come up with songs that aren’t your typical church camp worship songs. I don’t want it necessarily heavy rock (though I could consider it). I’m thinking stuff like RED, Thousand Foot Krutch, Seventh Day Slumber…stuff that’s farther from the middle of the spectrum than people are used to. The youth director told me she wants that sort of stuff as well. SO SEND ME SOME IDEAS, NIGS =) 

so that I can let randos answer, here’s a question mark: ?

Justin Timberlake- Mirrors

If you want a nice brain workout, really sit down and think about this song/video. Finding the meaning is one thing, going through all of the emotions the song pulls you through is another. Insanely well put together and definitely not just a song cranked out for money.

An Atheist and a Christian sit down at a bar. They both knock back a few drinks and enjoy each others company because they aren’t pretentious assholes.

There’s also no force powerful enough that would stop me from punching straight through your face if I ever saw you doing this to my flag. I want you to point out a leading world power in history that hasn’t made some mistakes. You think a mass of people collectively deciding what happens each year is going to breed perfection? You’ve got another thing coming. The world isn’t cake. I could go ahead and flip the christian flag over and do that same damn thing. Or the British flag. Or the Chinese flag. Give me any fucking governing body in existence and there will be GRAVE mistakes that were made.

What about all the people that America has saved? What about all the people that fled their shit hole countries and oppressive leaders to come find some sort of opportunity and livelihood here? Because there seems to be a flag large enough to cover that, that the rest of the world, bold enough to open their disrespectful and shallow mouths, seem to miss.

Lol, Lord forgive me, but this is funny lol

Too funny not to reblog. I love when christians don’t take themselves so seriously

A man shot himself in the head at the Houston airport recently. His suicide note read, “The monster within me was getting stronger and while I could not save myself I could spare others.” What a noble way to go. Obviously we would prefer people to not kill themselves, but this beats the hell out of going and shooting up a school.

Here’s the deal; the general Christian concensus is “Oh my. I hope he asked for forgiveness. He is going to hell otherwise.” What the fuck? You guys think it’s his fault he couldn’t handle the shit hand he was dealt? Dead. Wrong. This one is on us guys. This one is society’s fault and every damn individual that knew him enough to know something wasn’t right. He should’ve asked for forgiveness? We should be praying for forgiveness for having failed him. 

Maybe 2 minutes after I got done praying with my girlfriend this morning, I got a text from a girl that was an intern at my church like 5 years ago. Haven’t talked to her in probably a good 4. She asked me if I would be willing to interview to be an intern at the church she is now a youth leader at this summer. Pretty much a full time job but I would be making $3000 for the 3ish months. I was just planning on living in this same shitty house, trying to pick up some odd jobs whilst working the few hours I could pick up at Hollister, and taking Spanish.
I’m excited about this because I feel like it’s purposeful and not just doing what I think comes next in the society we live in. It feels divinely inspired and I’m pretty stoked. Just once again, shows me that God knows what the fuck He’s doing and is gonna make it happen regardless of how jaded I get. Very reassuring.
