To clear things up for anyone else who thinks I'm an emo who believes he is miserable and depraved (check my big headline)...
I am just that! (maybe not emo) But, I am a sinner. I am in a miserable state, and Christ came to save me, even in the midst of my miserable being.
I can't remember a time I've wanted to die for someone who didn't love and adore me.
But I can remember (yet, too often forget) that in my own sinfulness, He remade the history of all that is, through living a perfect life, dying a horrid death, and raising Himself from death itself, all in my stead.
I am so in debt to Christ, the debt was so great, only God, through the person of Jesus Christ, could lift that debt. Only He was powerful and pure enough to fix my evil nature for all eternity.
I believe this would be the best way to start off my blog, if you're going to listen to me rant and rave from time to time, I hope at least you could come away being more in love with the Savior.
I leave you now with some lyrics from Matt Wertz (I bet that was a true surprise!).
Yesterday morning every part of her just shut down
All that she knew, or thought she knew, flew out that door
Things she loved, so easily forgotten
And now Jamie cannot love no more, no more
She said, she said I'm so sick of this stumble, the stumble
I've been calling walk
She said I'm so tired of the mumble, this mumble
I've described as talk
Now I think this time, I lose myself
to the One who found me here

"Now I think this time, I lose myself

it's so nice to read a post from you, and, this one was a good one. (:
i'm encouraged.

haha...Gabe. I'm slightly worried about your Wertz obsession... :)
But I totally agree with you. I love both of those songs!
And we get to play for Resurgence this Sunday night. I'm excited. :)
And again, keep ranting. It's so great to read your rants. They're always encouraging.
i love that song... you're right. i've never realized the smallness of the time between 18-marriage compared to the time from marriage-death... it's like, nothing compared.
thanks...
