I like Don Miller

"If I weren't a Christian, and I kept seeing Christian leaders on television more concerned with money, fame and power than with grace, love, and social justice, I wouldn't want to believe in God at all.  I really wouldn't.  The whole think would make me want to walk away from religion altogether because, like I was saying about Santa Claus, their god must be an idiot to see the world in such a one-sided way.  The god who cares so much about getting rich must not have treasures stored up in heaven, and the god so concerned about getting even must not have very much patience, and the god who cares so much about the West must really hate the rest of the world, and doesn't sound like a very good god to me.  The televangelists can have him for all I care."

Ode to the 21st century version of Don Johnson

Oh 21st century version of Don Johnson...
How you amuse me...
You have your perfectly quaffed faux hawk that took you approximately 23 minutes to get just the right consistency...You and your lilac vest that you chose to not wear a shirt under because, hey, who really needs shirts...You have your skater boy vans that are in disarray but not because you were skateboarding because you either ordered them pre-destroyed or drug them across your driveway to get just the right look...Your jeans are so tight that they would suck the life right out of Nicole Richie (they did tell you in bio that really hurts your chances of making a baby...but the way things are looking that might not be the worst thing). You have on nerd glassess but not because you are a nerd (tool and nerd are two very different things ya know) and not because you can't see but because it's relevant and cool to look like Buddy Holly (consequently somewhere in the world Buddy Holly is rolling over in his grave right now)...

ahhh...a gal can't help but wonder while she's still single...

I never met a Toby that I didn't like...

I am now currently sitting at a desk that is reserved for working but I have decided to use it as my place to create a blog entry that will simultaneously shock and awe....

I have decided to bring this blog back from the dead ( a computerized Lazarus if you will) because I hear all the cool kids are still blogging...so here I am...(are you shocked and awed yet?)

We are T-Minus three days till the most epic reunion of all times...yes that's right...it's the Jenness Park 2008 Summer Fuuuuuge(not pronounced fudge for all you 7th graders out there) Staff! It is going to be life-changing...we should pretty much just carry an altar around with us because people are going to be getting saved left and right...left and right

On a more personal note...

Dear Google Blog,

I am really sorry that I abandoned you like almost a year ago. I started you up for a class and I know at the end of the class I gave the old it's not you it's me line. Part of that was indeed true, however, you just reminded me too much of school so it was hard to see you. I know I left you hanging. I know dozens of weird people probably showed up here thinking they were googling lyrics to a song and then you popped up. I gave you no new insights to the world around and people were bored and went to a new window. I hope you will take me back. I'll be comign around a lot more. I still think you're the stuff. I hope you still think I am. We rocked it pretty hard that semester.

Love,
Sarah
