I was thinking today/this morning about how I don't know how people can make it through without knowing Jesus. It makes me sad to think that they do. That they deal with their problems the way that they do and feel like they are ok. It makes me sad to see their "success" without Christ. I think it furthers their reliance on themselves and keeps their eyes from God. And then I wonder if they think that because of those "successes," they will be able to make it to heaven on their own. It saddens me to think that success hides from them the fact that without Christ, these successes amount to nothing but business and wasted time.

In an effort to be cool like Ryan Henry and Nathaniel Pettijohn, here is a list:

listening to:

NIN - The Fragile
Deathcab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Mogwai - EP +2

reading:

The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
My Utmost For His Highest
Celebration of Discipline - Richard Foster
The Sacred Romance - John Eldredge
Letters From the Earth - Mark Twain
Letters to Malcolm - C.S. Lewis
The Magnificence of Defeat - Frederick Buechner
The Waste Land and Other Writings - T.S. Eliot
(yeah, it's a lot, but most of it is sectional reading)
