'imperfection is beauty.
madness is genius.
& it's better to absolutely rediculous
then absolutely stupid.'
-Marilyn Monroe

'Dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory.
living for something...is the hard thing.
living for something extends beyound fashion, glory, or recognition.
we live for what we believe.'

'You wonder why people choose fields away from the States when young people at home are drifting because no one wants to take time to listen to their problems. Ill tell you why I left. Because those Stateside young people have every opportunity to study, hear, and understand the Word of God in their own language, and these Indians have no opportunity whatsoever. I have had to make a cross of two logs, and lie down on it, to show the Indians what it means to crucify a man. When there is that much ignorance over here and so much knowledge and opportunity over there, I have no question in my mind why God sent me here. Those whimpering Stateside young people will wake up on the Day of Judgment condemned to worse fates than these demon-fearing Indians, because, having a Bible, they were bored with it---while these never heard of such a thing as writing.'
-Jim Elliot

2 Things working at starbucks has taught me...

1. I talk really quiet. Only on occasion do I make it through work without someone complaning that they can hardly hear me when I talk. At first I'd say sorry and try to be louder now it just bothers me and I just tell them to get some hearing aids...ok not really but I want to.

2. I need to work on my writing skills I probably can't even count on one hand how many times I've written SCF for a syrup cream frap and they make a java chip frap which is JCF. Ok I'm not gonna lie to you my J's don't look anything like my S's do but they just seem to assume that I can't write so they try to help me when really it is what they think it is.

yup thats about it...
