I’m tired of preachers and preaching.
I want silence and love.
I want action with sincerity.
Black Holes and Revelations
I prefer to die doing something brave,
'cause sleeping has never really cut it for me.
May I always be uncomfortable in complacent living.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
Prov 25:2
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. 18 He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. 19Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Even for passive people its hard.
When I look at the lives’ of all my friends and acquaintances, I get a little uneasy. Its so natural to look at what they have that I don’t, or what I have that they don’t.
Its so easy to pick out all you like and all you don’t.
And this kind of comparison does no good for anyone.
It brings such a heart of unthankfulness and dissatisfaction.
When the very ordeal of life is something to throw up praise for, that we have the sun above us and the earth below us, that we are breathing in and out this very moment.
Life itself is something to be so thankful for. When we look at that, really take it all in, its hard to imagine how we could ever not be gratful.

Today is New Years Eve. People make those things, what are they called? -Resolutions?
New Years Resolutions.
I’m not really into that.
But I am deciding to take every day of this new year for its full worth.
The only real kind of failure is wasting time. And I refuse to let failure into this new year.
I will take every day for all I can, I promise you that.
2012.
Another year.
Another time.
Another opportunity to be thankful.
To treasure life, and all the beautiful things and people around me.

Sunshine brings life. Rain brings food. And dirt makes a home.
Essentials. Essentiality? (Don’t worry, its made up.)
I just want the essentials.
A life of essentiality.

Back in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Its been just over a year since I was here last. But the reason this time around is drastically different.
For the next 4 weeks I’ll be around Mexico. 3 cities. And 3 states.
First time for Mexico City and Zacatecas are just around the corner.
Traveling always stirs your soul.
“The work of the United Nations reaches every corner of the globe. Although best known for peacekeeping, peacebuilding, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance, there are many other ways the United Nations and its System (specialized agencies, funds and programmes) affect our lives and make the world a better place. The Organization works on a broad range of fundamental issues, from sustainable development, environment and refugees protection, disaster relief, counter terrorism, disarmament and non-proliferation, to promoting democracy, human rights, gender equality and the advancement of women, governance, economic and social development and international health, clearing landmines, expanding food production, and more, in order to achieve its goals and coordinate efforts for a safer world for this and future generations.”
Here I come, United Nations.
Internship: 2012.
