Quick Hits from the Weekend

I had a pretty good weekend. Here are some quick hits:

• I really like College Basketball. I'm not ready to end Football Season, but I really like College Basketball.
• I have been incredibly blessed with the best family of friends that anyone could possibly ask for. We may not be able to make decisions together, but we can definitely have fun together and push each other.
• While the role that people play in our lives can change over time, their importance and weight in our lives rarely change.
• The reality that there will be an end looms in the distance. 
• I'm freaking blessed.
• I have strong opinions but I can most definitely be wrong.
• I enjoy weekends that the Bears don't play.
• I really don't like Tom Brady. Like at all. 
• I'm sharing in the Big House on Wednesday at Communion. (Ok, that's in the future, but I was thinking about it a lot this weekend.)
• God is Good.
• God is Faithful. We are not.
• Ball Tag really isn't that bad of a game.
• My mind can make my heart hurt when my heart knows that He's in control.
• If I add anymore to my list, I will have nothing to write about in my Moleskine. And I need a new one of those.
• The Apple Store is not totally overpriced. Just those $499.99 speakers.
• I had a post of mine posted by Josh Griffin on his blog MorethanDodgeball.com. He seems really cool and has a pretty sweet ministry. You can see the post here.

How was your weekend? Was it epic?

10 Quick Hits/Thoughts Going on Right Now in my life.

I have so much to say and not enough time to say it. But here are some quick hits:

1. Sex is the grossest distortion of something so beautiful in the history of mankind.
2. As Christians in a very sexualized world, we have illegitamized our relationship with God by legitamizing our relationships with others which has led us to make less of an effort to please God in order to be more pleasing to those around us.
3. Christians have become way to Hellbent and have forgotten what it means, on many levels, to be HeavenScent.
4. God has established Marriage as a way to help us be better, not so that we feel better.
5. When we are driven by fear or doubt, we have no control of the direction we may be heading, but when we are driven by grace and hope we can be certain of the destination that we are heading.
6. God is Good.
7. Writing can be a very free-ing expression of the human character.
8. I'm too philosophical for this job.
9. I'm not philosophical enough for this job.
10. I am not, but I know I AM.

Amen.
