I'm an art whore. It's like a regular whore, but STD-free.

I got back into town about 2 days ago.

Orlando Project is so amazing, that the only thing I hate is that I was too stubborn to do this earlier in life.

I kept a journal for a good portion of the project. I believe that God taught me many things about Himself, the Body of Christ (what Christians call fellow Christians as a collective), godly men, and pains I never realized I had. I want to transcribe my entries on the computer so I can post them as deviations (not journal entries). Maybe God will use my entries to teach others the way He's taught me.

Oh, btw, I am very honest in my journals. But pretty much all negative things said about my friends didn't have much to do with them; except for maybe one time, they all had to do with me allowing sin and past hurts to color my perception of them. However, I can think of one or two journal entries that I'm not sure would be edifying to read for some of my friends from OP who might visit here.

If you would like to see the entries, let me know and I might be able to e-mail them to you. (Sometimes I have gaps in the dates of my entries because I didn't journal every day, or because I have found an entry that needs to be more on a "special request" basis. Maybe you can ask by "what's up with the date? did you skip one?", or maybe even ask me by topic. Many days, it felt like God was dismantling specific blockages that stood between the present "me" and the "me" He wants me to be; so perhaps, whether or not I post the entry, God has already allowed me to go through a similar difficulty so you could learn and avoid difficulty.)

People would tell me, at work, that I was sweet. God changed my heart so that I could honestly answer, "No, God is sweet; I just work here."

I'm not wise, smart, sweet, or thoughtful. God is; I just live here.

If a tin whistle is made of tin,
vegetable oil is made of vegetables,
and fire fighters fight fires,

What are girl scout cookies made of,
what is baby oil made of,
and what do freedom fighters fight?
