KCMO GIRLS

I feel like this city is just covered with artsy or scene girls, who are all the same. They all love: fall, owl jewelry, taking pictures of themselves using Photo Booth, and they wear plaid button ups with stocking caps. This gets old. Sometimes I just want to talk to a girl who doesn't wanna hang out in a coffee shop and who doesn't love Zooey Deschanel movies.

I am starting to hate coffee shops, indie music, and quirky comedies where boy meets eccentric girl.

I wanna hang out with one who enjoys summer and doesn't always wear dresses but sometimes does. These are really just the ramblings of a lonely old fool.

Lasers are the opposite of losers. Lasers are shining beams of light that burn through the darkness of ignorance. Lasers shed light on injustice and inequality. Losers stand by and let things happen. Lasers act and shape their own destinies. Lasers find meaning and direction in the mysteries all around them. Lasers stand for love and compassion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for progression. Lasers are revolutionary.
Lasers Are The Future.

We're Not Losers...We Are L.A.S.E.R.S.!!!

Love Always Shines Every-time Remember 2 Smile!

Undeclared Dreams pt.3

It is funny how fast things can change. I have decided to stay in Kansas City for another season of my life. I love this town and am starting to get involved around here. I am starting to realize that sometimes I don't always understand what God is planning to do in my life. If you look in the Bible Jesus was always repeating himself because no one understood what he said the first time he said it. This still happens, I think that is why I am becoming more and more hesitant to "blame" God for the direction I am in. Instead I just pray that I haven't misunderstood what I believe he is telling me. God is good and does not always tell you to leave where you are, even if you think that is what's happening. God is working everywhere not just where you want to be.

there is a love with no end or beginning, there is a flower without a thorn.

We try so hard to be righteous by our own flesh and then we feel awful when we aren't. A friend of mine told me once that anything good and right he said was God through him and everything else that was wrong was just him. I think we give ourselves too much credit. I have been struggling with the fact that I am no better than those who wronged me or wronged those that I love. We are all nothing and we are all worthless without the truth of God. It sounds really simplistic and very sunday school, but how many of us really think that we are no better than the rest. I am really trying to see my enemies as my equals but it is not easy. God loves your enemies as much as God loves you which is hard to swallow, because we are always right in our minds. Let's practice true love together and realize if we get it right we didn't get it right.

There is no escape.

"No, there is no escape. There is no heaven with a little of hell in it-no plan to retain this or that of the devil in our hearts or our pockets. Out Satan must go, every hair and feather."
-George Macdonald
