“I don’t understand the question and I won’t respond to it.”

“People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, and obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.”

If I think about it too hard

I get this vague feeling that I don’t know myself at all. Is that weird or does it happen to anyone else?

NC has been incredible. But MAN, do I miss this puppy face.

I just deleted Facebook from my phone

Because it was genuinely making me hate people in my life. It’s so silly that a social media site could make me feel that way. It scares me a little bit about my personality.

Maybe in the future I’ll let go of it entirely. I hope I can do the same with twitter and maybe one day Instagram. If you’re using it for the likes, for the popularity boost, for the gossip factor, then I just don’t feel it’s worth it. I hate who it’s making me.

And the rest of the day this phone will be far, far away so I can enjoy this rainy Monday exploring Charlotte!
