Spy Museum.
I am such a museum geek. But I want to go here really bad.

I can't believe it. I just want to scream. Why is it that in this mecca of Christian Pentecostalism that I feel the most un-welcomed and oppressed? Can't people see that not allowing full participation in the body of Christ because of gender, race, or age is completely sinful? We are so quick to call racism a sin but why is sexism not?! STOP PRETENDING JESUS DIDN'T INCLUDE WOMEN! STOP PRETENDING PAUL IS GOD! STOP PRETENDING I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY!
I was reading "Searching For God Knows What" last night (great read, I highly recommend it) and I read a quote that Donald Miller found in a poem by Maya Angelou. It slapped me right across the face. I'll be honest, I've never been much of a Maya Angelou fan, but I see the wisdom that comes from this one line, this one section of all of her work, and I know that she's a blessed woman:
I think it's so amazing how we can't even begin to understand what's going on in our lives. So, I've kind of stopped trying. I've stopped trying to understand things, trying to make them happen. Life is so mysterious. It's full of random walls and sharp turns everywhere. I think that it's so hard to not become a cynic after a few years of the real world. (Not saying college is the real world, it's just the realest I've gotten)
i love imogen heap.
What is it about Fall and love? Seriously. Does everyone have to fall in love all at the same time?! Makes us singles very very sick to our stomachs. I'd just like a date with someone, someone random.
