Give Me Something to Believe
So I kind of had something cool happen today in church...
Lately I've been struggling with the gray areas of faith. I mean, there are so many things out there that I have absolutely no idea how I should feel about! Most days lately I have no idea what the right things to say or think or do or believe or pray are. And I don't do so well when I find myself at a loss...
So while I was crooning "Come Thou Fount," I realized this:
Jesus never had gray areas. He never sinned because He made the wrong decision in a moment of uncertainty.
And I think that's really cool.

Angst Is a Funny Word...Angsty Is a Made-Up Word
So for the past week I've kind of been in a funk. I think the late nights I'm putting into writing my handbook to Greco-Roman mythology are starting to get to me.
I've literally written/filmed and then deleted thirty six angsty teenager-ish posts. Yes. Thirty six. That's 36 for those of you who haven't caught on yet. And I thought I would let you all know so that you could appreciate the willpower I've been exercising to hold back the angst.
I've got five months and five days of being a teenager left. I still have a small angst allotment left to use up.
