It has been 2 weeks and I still can't get this song out of my head. I don't know who this was written for but when I think of where my journey with God has been and where it's heading, I can't decribe it any better than this... 'Hanging by a Moment' by Lifehouse...

Desperate for changing, Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started, Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you, Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move, I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking, Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation, You take all of me now...

I'm living for the only thing I know, I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into, Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose, There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world, That can change my mind

As a gizmophile, I can't help but drool over the new iPhone. Fortunately, it's not available for sale until June of 2007, this should give me enough time to come up with reasons on why I should get one. Maybe by that time owning one will be justified.
Let's see.. why do I NEED an iPhone...

1. I have 3 gadgets that I carry with me all the time, a cell phone, an iPod, and a PDA - it might be a good time to consolidate.

2. My cell contract will expire at the end of March - it might be time to switch from SprintPCS.

3. It looks cool!

This list is not looking good. Help!!!

Things that makes you wanna go hmmmm...

My neighbor's garage has been in shambles for at least a year. A month ago I saw a sign on it, one of those yellow cardboard from the city, that said 'Condemned'. Last week a construction crew came in and tact new sidings on top of the current wall. Eight hours later, there was a new garage. Or at least on the outside it looks like there was a new garage. Every time a drive by this structure, I always wonder. Why bother? What's the point of having something to store your 'stuff' if you know it can possibly collapse anytime? Why not just build a new garage if you're gonna go through the trouble?

It dawned on me today that there are times that this is exactly how I go through with my day. I take a shower, put on fresh clothes, wear a smile and go about my day as if everything is fine and dandy. Inside I'm breaking, falling apart, and struggling. God must be asking, why? why bother putting on a facade - when deep inside you know something is not right? Is it easier to deal with the issue than hide it?

Hmmm....

To start the new year I thought I'd post a challenge to myself. This year, I am going to attempt to diligently read the Bible. This not a small feat for me. I like doing things for a small period of time, then I need to move on. I get bored easily. So, in order to increase my chances of success, I've enlisted some of my friends in joining me in this journey and most of them agreed to do so. So far it has worked, I've already gotten e-mails from them checking on me. I know that it has only been 5 days but the outlook is good. My friends are not only checking in on me but also praying for me. I, in return, am doing the same for them.

This year is going to be a year to work on disciplining myself, and this is where I'm starting. We'll see how it will turn out.
