I was hoping to get dessert or a café drink tonight, to place a nice period to an eventful Saturday. But yeah, the folks I wanted to go with decided to head over to a bar-lounge. Instead, I went to Cala, picked up some OJ, 3/6 dollars J, and candy, 3/1 dollar. Man, I love deals.
I usually don’t indulge myself right before I go to bed, especially since I’ve been on semi-diet (No. I haven’t gain weight over the years. I just want to try to loose a little now. 5-10 pounds). But yeah, I can’t imagine a better dessert or smoother candy bar than a TWIX. Yeah, that candy bar must be one of best combinations: cookie core, caramel topping, and chocolate wrapping. It is soooo smooooth. I’m telling you, simply pleasures! Chocolate gives me acne too. I’ll probably get a big one pimple on my noose. But that’s cool, b/c the gratification of the silky smooth was all worth it. Man, I might as well eat another one. There’s one siting in front of me righ now. …k….stick to the diet.
But yeah, can anybody think of a better candy bar? NO WAY!!! All that Godova or whatever got nothing over TWIX. Ghirardelli will get trampled on. Those round chocolates, truffle like, should stay on the Costco shelf. Almond Rocoa…whoa!….very close, but yeah, too sweet – excessive isn’t good either. Haha…k…time for bed…

layers they protect, cover us; giving us an identity and a sense of
being. these layers correspond to our culture, career, ethnicity,
education, gifts, merits... living on top of the layers, life seems
good, clear, and vibrant. yet underneath the coverings is a core or
soul that starves to be fed by something more substantial than what the
layers can provide. through most of our lives, we neglect the yearnings
of the soul, the signs and questions that plague us about the life, the
meaning of it, the source of it...the essence of it. we try to remain
in the clouds, to stay afloat and keep us from being confronted with our
starving soul; to fall into the darkness and emptiness that is us. yes,
it's much easier to live in bliss, in ignorance than to wrestle with
life at its most based level. we want to protect ourselves from
the confusion and pain of being lost. who really wants to risk the
implosion from entertaining something seemingly less concrete and
certain?...the peeling of the layers that leave the soul exposed, bare
and vulnerable - raw. however, that is were transformation, healing so
to speak, takes place. it is where Christ enters, cleanses, dines, and
renews. the soul no longer thirsts or hungers. it becomes
re-layered with Christ - only Him and nothing else!
Philippians 3:7-11 "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss
for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss
compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I
may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my
own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in
Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to
know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of
sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so,
somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead."
Yes, fooey to the layers that gives us any identity and significance
outside the work and character of Christ.
be still and come before the Lord. remove all the busyness, all the pride, all the burdens - the layers. peer into your soul. there is both fear and comfort. grab hold of your death in order you may grab hold of His life. be raised!

Adding some relationship terms, here are two acronyms a friend and I came up with a couple of weeks ago.
SAM - spiritually attractive male
SAW - spiritually attractive woman
So in conversation now, you can introduce yourself by saying "I'm a SAM
looking for a SAW", or vice versa. Yep, let's see if these terms take. :) If they do, you know where they originated.
On a related subtopic, I was talking to some friends on Sunday night, and told them ppl aren't unmarried b/c they're not quality ppl. It's similar to the starvation problem in the world. Starvation exist not because of a shortage of food, but rather because of (before it comes out of mouth)...ckam finishes the sentence - distribution! Similarly, ppl aren't single b/c there is a deficiency in quality ppl, but in the distribution or intermingling of ppl - ppl tend to stay fixated in their circle.
Before I become too controversy, I better stop at this point. That was something we discussed at dinner. Someone else told me to blog about it - DShinn! So if I get a lot of slack, please direct them to him!
