Live at Peace

"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Can I just get something off my chest? God is right. His ways are right. Always. The more I live, the more I screw up, the more I realize the truth that his ways are for us, to show us how to live, how to really live and not just get by. Today at lunch some friends of mine mentioned that they had a venting session the night before and some of it was about me. Let's face it, no one wants to think of themselves as the friend people have to vent about. I mean we all have those friends, but we don't want to be those friends. I'm pretty sure that at some point or another we have all been that friend. I'm trying to take an objective look at these friendships, and I see why they would need to vent. I don't have it together. I have a very real need for Jesus.

Confessions of a Facebook addict

Today I did what most self-respecting Facebook addicts do at 7:30am. I checked Facebook to see who had posted on my wall, updated their profiles, and what was new on mini feed. A Facebook friend of mine, who I happen to think is a pretty cool chick, had updated her "about me", so I scrolled her page and read one of the few genuinely interesting "about me" sections I have found to date. It was the last sentence that got me and wont let me go. "I am currently on a quest to whittle myself down to a certain desired weight. I'm getting there."(Two sentences if you want to be technical.) My heart sank. I was sad and angry. This perfectly healthy, active, beautiful woman was allowing the lie that she needed to be skinny to become her "quest." But what's more, is that she had the guts enough to put it on her Facebook wall, while I hid the same quest deep within my heart.
