every friday around 5:15pm, i see the same guy on the corner of Devonshire and Balboa holding a sign that reads:
IMPEACH or (like last friday) OUT OF IRAQ
it stirs something inside of me and tries to compel me to go out there and hold a sign of my own that reads:
KEEP HIM & PRAY
yes i do have a fighting spirit. no, i don't intend to fight him but i do want to be there and hold a sign too.
Bush represents the millions of "christians" who goes through the motions but truly have not found the desire of God's plan to bring the Kingdom.

reap what you sow
Chris Foreman, a good friend of mine and future pastor, spoke at a friday night jam that we held at CSUN. He heard it from his pastor and shared it with us and because it is so powerful i wanted to share it here.
When you:
sow a thought, reap an action
sow an action, reap a habit
sow a habit, reap a lifestyle
sow a lifestyle, reap a destiny
It is incredible to think that our thoughts gives birth to our actions. Hence, if our thoughts are impure, our actions will be impure. However, if our thoughts are towards righteousness, our actions will be righteous.
So next time when someone is rude to you, imagine what thoughts cause them to do that. when someone steals from you, imagine what they were thinking. when someone lends you a helping hand, imagine what they were thinking. when someone gives you a smile, what were they thinking? Most importantly, what are you thinking right now? Where will your thoughts lead you? What destiny will they carry you to?
I pray that this year, my thoughts and yours will gear towards our Holy Father and His Kingdom.

rambling
Time to register for classes again...
Everytime i have to register for classes, i always think: when am i ever going to graduate??
And when i am in class, i think: when will this semester be over?
When finals are over and i'm not in school, i think: I'm bored. When will classes begin again?
Regret: verb
1.
to feel sorry and sad about something previously done or said that now appears wrong, mistaken, or hurtful to others
2.
to feel sadness about something, or feel a sense of loss and longing for somebody or something that is no longer there
i meet a lot of people who have something in the past that they regret. maybe they made a stupid mistake or chose to walk down a wrong path. but one thing for certain is that they always wish they can turn back time and correct it.
i know i hate to regret and i know that there isn't a time machine we can hop into like "Back to the Future" movie. that's why i always say i have no regret. if i make a mistake i ask myself: well, what have you learned from it and what are you going to do about it?
But sometimes i feel that i am lying to myself. there are things in my life i wish never happened or decisions made that i thought: if only i made this choice instead. but i never thought of it as regret because i'm not really sorry that it happen. if it didn't happen, i wouldn't be where i am and who i am today.
now the dilemma is: i am not quite sure if i am okay with where i am and who i am today. what a confusing state.
Therefore, i don't believe i have any regrets in my life where i want to go back in time to change it because i know thinking that way is useless since i can't go back in time to change it. but i do feel sorry that it happen. then again, i am thankful that it happen. i also don't long for the lost times either.
then maybe, i just have like a half regret type thing...hahaha
and why am i rambling about this? it all started with registering for classes...hahaha
but when you get as old as i am and you see younger people graduating before you, you ask:
what is taking me so long and how did it happen?
i kinda sat there calculating how many more years left 'til graduation and then of course after one minute, i get up and go get a can of soda and watch tv with my mom hahahahaha
what am i thinking about??? i need to enjoy all of my vacation time because i only have three more stress free week left.
maybe this explains why i'm still in school...hahahah
