You're more real then, the ground I'm standing on...

It's 11:43 and while I'm complaining about how chapped my lips are, people are dying. Great.
Yesterday I learned that one dollar gives a kid in Africa clean water for a year.
Why is it that us spoiled American's have to have something in return when we give something. I'm not saying that everyone is like that. But in general. Most of us are.

Unfortunately there are a lot of those people in the church.
Why is it that the church, the body of Jesus, is selfish?! Why is it that pride and dignity kill off people physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It annoys me.
I really want some celery.
Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, He stooped low to pick the crappiest people up out of the dirt. And yet when we say we are aiming to be like Jesus we only try to build ourselves up into this weird looking churchy, pride consumed robot. Once again. I'm not saying that's how EVERYONE is. But generally, and in the broad sense, we are.
To be like Jesus we have to forget about us. It does us no good whatsoever to be all about ourselves.
Love is selfless and will give anything to benefit others. Jesus is the pure and holy definition of love. To be in the likeness of Jesus, we must grasp love. Do you understand?
Love means... Going to someplace like...

And donating even just a dollar to make sure a kid doesn't die from dirty water.

My dreams are bursting at the seams...

You know. Never mind. You don't know. But anyways. You're awesome.

Ever feel like your at the point where, you're ready to jump out of a plane (to go skydiving of course) but you're just not sure what's going to happen? I feel like that. Although. I don't. Because I've never been skydiving. But Everything around me seems burdened with this growing expectation. Sorta like waiting for the leaves to pop out on trees. Which in my opinion is quite a wonderful thing to be waiting for. In fact. The wait is over and they leaves are already coming out. ANYWAYS. Back to my point which I haven't made yet.
I think Jesus is going to be here soon. I have no idea what that means. But... I'm guessing in the next 100 years or so. Or maybe a thousand. Or whenever He wants. I'm cool with whatever. I just cracked my entire back.
I can't wait to see Jesus. It will be like... My one and only dream come true.
Now my back feels funny.
I'm really craving cucumbers.
