writing an interpretive paper over james 2:14-24 for my general epistles class. being the nerdy bible scholar i am, this perplexing task gives me great joy. but enough o’ that - have you ever been puzzled by this passage? do you think it contradicts or compliments romans 3:28?

You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don’t want me to
Oh, your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
Oh, you think your dreams are the same as mine
I don’t love you, but I always will
I don’t love you, but I always will
I don’t love you, but I always will
I always will

I wish you’d hold me when I turn my back
The less I give, the more I get back
Oh, your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don’t have a choice, but I still choose you
I don’t love you, but I always will
I don’t love you, but I always will
I don’t love you, but I always will
I always will

starting today at 4:00, i’ve got a weekend of good music & good people. here’s a glimpse of some places & faces i get to see over the next few days!

pbr bull riding at the…

…oklahoma state fair with trent and his best friends, followed by a concert featuring this hunk of burnin’ love:

josh turner. then it’s off to…

…texas with jen! at the western days festival in lewsiville, texas, that night we’ll see…

…micky & the motorcars, plus…

…cross canadian ragweed, in one of their last performances before a well-deserved break from the road.

it’s a red dirt weekend, y’all.

stasis:

Pick two:

• Study
• Socialize
• Sleep

(Credit goes to my similarly overworked classmate)

it’s a wond’rous wednesday, y’all.

• i put the finishing touches on a paper examining hebrews 10:26-31, and i’m extremely proud of thi exegesis.
• kelly & i got to spend time with our friend thomas, who will soon be bound for spain to teach english for the next nine months. i’m so excited for the adventure he’s about to experience in the basque country!
• my man told me he was proud of me. not for anything seemingly spectacular, but i think that’s probably why it felt so good to hear.
• i get to meet this fella for sushi in a few hours. two of my favorite things in one place.
• SWITCH is tonight - translating into the following: quality time with adult leaders i adore, small-group time with some incredible students, and worship.
