An old friend came to visit today. I haven't seen this friend in at least a year or more.
He reminded me to bring a sweater. He smells good.
I enjoyed his company today.
His name is Autumn.
I hope Autumn stays.

Very poetic Jenn.
One day someone asked me if there was anything I would die for. I had to think for a long time, and even after thinking about it for a coupleof days I had a short list. In the end there werent many principles I would die for. I would die for the Gospel because it is the only revolutionary idea known to man. I would die for my mom, my brother and my sister. I would die for many of my friends. Another friend of mine would say that dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory. Living for something is the hard thing. Living for something extends beyond fashion, glory, or recognition. We live for what we believe, my friend would say.
If my friend was right, if I live what I believe, then I dont believe very many noble things. My life testifies that the first thing I believe is that I am the most important person in the world. My life testifies to this because I care more about my food and shelter and happiness than about anybody else.
I am learning to believe in better things. I am learning to believe that other people exist, that fashion is not truth; rather, Jesus is the most important figure in history, and the Gospel is the most powerful force in the universe. I am learning not to be passionate about empty things, but to cultivate a passion for justice, grace, truth, and communicate the idea that Jesus likes people and even loves them....
