Comment on Growing Up by Aleece

“No one can do everything, as much as the Willamette culture will try to tell you otherwise.”
Oh Willamette. :) It is sometimes quite a battle to remember this in such a place that is full of people with passionate focused dreams and goals, especially if one does not necessarily fall into that category. The perspective you suggest we have and hold to is crucial if one doesn’t want to fall into a sea of discouragement. ” It is a knowledge of what you can and cannot accomplish. It is an opportunity for humility and the truth that no one on this whole campus is “all-that.” ” I like that ;)

“…but we should care enough about things beyond our selves and our personal comfort to stand for change.”

My favorite sentence.

I really like your thoughts Marcie :) It reminds me that we should live by grace and in it. I have also been learning what it means to wait on the Lord — to wait on Him in times of joy, of pain, loneliness, excitement — I am learning to hope and trust in Him without doubt and be confident in His sovereignty and identity.

Comment on Revolutionaries by daniel

two things:

1) “impetuous” is an adjective. “impetuosity” is a noun. “there was an impetuous notion to revolt,” “there was an impetuosity to revolt.” or something. an adjective describes something, otherwise it’s just a drowning orphan.

2) required reading: “revolt of the masses” by jose ortega y gasset, and “the rebel” by albert camus. both of them discuss revolution and rebellion (and how the two can go, mistakenly, hand-in-hand), as well as various revolutions throughout history.

Needed that today. Being vulnerable isn’t fun though…. =) He is Faithful!

Yes Marcie, I do want to be a part of that movement. If more and more of us would commit ourselves to one another in a local church, a commitment to the people, as we help one another heal, what an impact we could have in our communities.

Two thoughts:

1. O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? (I am sure this is what those “Juliet Variety” tomatoes are wondering)
2. Community IS good — even if it takes breaking a 13 year old’s ankle :)
