The Truth is Unchanging

No matter if Obama or McCain wins neither man can bring all of the change that we would like to see. Through the change they bring, whether it be much or little, good or bad, I know that I can trust in the unchanging truth of Christ. Once all of the votes have been tallied there isn’t anything I can do to change the outcome. However, I can pray for the protection of the elected president. I can pray for him to listen to his people. I can pray for change in his heart, the type of change that only Jesus can bring. Jesus, the only man that brought the change that we truly needed, and not necessary the change that we wanted.

It’s been two weeks. It was quite the strain at first. I was being pulled more than I would have liked. I was sure that I would get hurt somehow.

A couple of weeks ago I had a dream that I was trying to get my right splits flat. They weren’t quite there so I pushed a little further. They became flat! Inspired by my dream I tried to see if somehow my right splits were now flat in real life. Not so much, but they were getting much closer. Two weeks later they are almost completely flat. I’ve been physically stretching and practicing my high kicks lately. It seems that all of the stretching and hard work is paying off.

This is why I know that all of this other stretching in my life is necessary. It will be uncomfortable. It might hurt a little. It will be challenging. Most importantly, it will pay off. These past 14 days I’ve just been waiting for when the stretching will end. I’ve been waiting for my life to go back to its comfortable complacency, but that’s not going to happen.
It’s OK though.
I don’t feel like going back anymore.

It's really something if it makes you cry.

I'm working on my forward thinking
Working on my self-control
Process this ugly mess
Figure out how to make it whole

Choke down a bus ride to the city
Chase it with a trip to the East Side
Seems like over time
I'll get so numb that I won't mind

Some days I actually forget
that this is really something
One look from you and that is it
and this is really something
Being hard is hard, so sick of it
And this is really something good
This is really something good now

Excuse me? Please speak up.

This idea has been sitting in my sketchbook for a few months now. I've been doing so much print design work at Famous Davis lately that I've had a hankering for doing some personal design work. I don't know what it is about typography that makes my heart race. I've never thought much of Gill Sans MT until I put this "r" and apostrophe next to each other. As for Garamond, he was found in most of my design work in college. I'm probably going to make this into a poster. I still might do some tweaking. We'll see.

The Birth and Death of the Day

then death is forgiveness I guess. -The Pines

Senior Pictures!

I finally finished editing Carrie's senior pictures. One evening we went downtown and to Robbins Island. Another night we took some pictures before Tae Kwon Do. Our last night we went and took some pictures by the railroad tracks. The last night was really windy and Carrie's hair kept going in her face. Either way it was pretty fun! I thought I'd give you a preview.









Thanks Carrie!
