Anonymous asked: are you going to the beatles: the lost concert" movie when it comes out next month?
i wasn’t planning on it…i don’t really know any beatles songs. is that blasphemous?
preparing the fields
so this movie “Facing the Giants” was a little cheesy but still managed to be heartwarming and achey at the same time. because don’t we all have that one (or several) wish(es) that we want so badly but don’t have enough faith to pray for? i love and hate movies like this because it reminds me of those things that i don’t dare to hope for, don’t dare to pray for, because i’m not sure if my faith is strong enough to handle a “no” from God.
the all-wise mr. bridges from the movie solemnly told the protagonist he needed to “prepare the fields” to receive the rain of blessing God would surely send. i don’t know how to do that. i wish there were less pithy feel-good sayings and more practical advice. how do i build a stone wall? how do i muster up the faith to pray?
I would never leave
because happiness is constituted by the beautiful monotony of sitting under a tree with your sister or whomever else you love, not chasing rabbits or exploring unknown lands.

if
…you meant it when you said you wished I could come along with you, I would’ve. I can’t right now but in the future I would’ve gone with you anywhere. Anywhere anywhere.
…you ever decide one day that you miss me with the same empty hollowness that pushes out every other thought and can’t be drowned out by any quantity of ice cream, come take me with you.
“Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God ‘has put eternity into man’s heart.’ At some level, in the deepest part of our soul, our soul remembers, however that happens, what life was like before the fall. At some really deep level, our soul has this impression cut into it by the fingers of God, like the grooves on a record, encoding the memory of what it was like before sin entered the world. We remember, at a really deep level, that at one time we were full, and at one time we were happy, and at one time there was nothing weighing us down. Our souls are outright groaning to get back there. But the void is God-shaped.
… What is Jesus saying? He is saying, ‘I am eternal. I fill the void. I fit the groove.’ … In the end, there is nothing under the sun that brings lasting fulfillment. You have to look beyond the sun. The groove in our hearts cannot be filled with the temporal. It demands eternity.”
