| This little girl's family was executed and she was shot in the head. This soldier is a friend of my cousin's family, and he has been falling asleep with her for the last four nights while she heals. Why, may I ask, do we not see pictures of this in the media? I'm so grateful that he's there with her... thank you, thank you, thank you, Jesus, that you're providing for this baby girl. ![IMG_1244[1]](http://xda.xanga.com/efca920535d3379670240/z54175962.jpg)

| This stuff just ticks me off... I'm not an angry person, but this is just unreal. Not shocking, considering it's Madonna, but unreal nonetheless. She's being lifted up on a cross while wearing a crown of thorns. Far be it from me to judge her (i'm just glad that's not my job in general... God only knows what I myself deserve), but this just seems like downright mockery and blasphemy. Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

| I started this new book last night. It's called 'The Knowledge of the Holy' by A.W. Tozer. I love all of these old school Christian mystics because they've got this incredibly solid theological foundation that they've somehow paired with a very strong faith in the 'intangibles' and 'unknowables.' I'm only through the first chapter (which is all of 4.5 pages) and already I'm laying awake in bed until about midnight, thinking about the words and mulling them over and over in my head. Words that normally wouldn't reverberate as they did last night: 'language of worship' and 'the man who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems' and 'the essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him.'
Moreso than any, though, did these particular words leave me thinking so intently that I both fell asleep and awoke pondering them: 'Without a doubt, the mightiest thought the mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightiest word in any language is the word for God' (p. 2). I have absolutely no clue why they kept me up and stayed with me through the night, but I'm sure that God will show me soon enough. Until then I'll keep thinking about them, because they give my spirit hope. Not really a warm, fuzzy kind of hope, but a hope that allows me to just let those words along with The Word dwell in my heart and mind and strength. And strength is definitely something that I've needed these past two weeks.
