I feel as if I have no hope to fulfill the calling on my life, nor do I even imagine what it is, one semester from graduation. (Much of that is due to things you'll read below, but not all) 1. To that end I need an internship for this upcoming semester. I live with chronic pain, which seems to flare up whenever I try and move on with what I am needing to do. 1. I need to get my permit and learn to drive. 2. I need to get involved with my church, not on a 'we need someone to cover basis' but in consistent-week-to-week ministry. 3. I need a job that goes beyond my lying in here in pain doing odd jobs on the internet. I struggle with the tension between the desire of my heart to live life in authentic community, and the fear that while Christ views all sin the same, we often don't. 1. I seek God's wisdom. a. To share my testimony of him appropriately b. To know the times and seasons to do so. #1. To not have my heart consumed with the desire to share it with people who I should not. #2. To know his peace when it comes that my heart wants to share with those I share this journey with, and be willing to proceed, unashamed of his work, and unafraid of their response. 2. I pray that amidst the stress of the lives of my family around me, I will turn to Him rather than sinful addiction. 3. I pray that my heart will remember and return to a love of reading His words [SCRIPTURE!] , that I may spend an appropriate amount 'time' reading the love story of my Savior, as I do love and find myself at times consumed by praying to Him.

Sat, 1 Nov 2008 16:14:33 +0000 http://randythomas.org/2008/10/31/intense-debate/#IDComment10236953 http://randythomas.org/2008/10/31/intense-debate/#IDComment10233743 A seperate comment thread in the intense Debate topic, has you posting 'twice' 1 hr apart "Glad you like it Jonathan." ...I've seen it do this a couple of other places, like your initial response to Elle's comment that Disqus was way better, and to Editorgal after she went 'By Jove, I did it!!' :) Sat, 1 Nov 2008 16:01:55 +0000 http://randythomas.org/2008/10/31/intense-debate/#IDComment10233743 http://randythomas.org/2008/10/31/intense-debate/#IDComment10220793 It also seems to be 'double-posting'. In some cases its twice in a row, but in other cases it's separated by some length of time, but not necessarily any comments.

It's a nicer looking format, if we could get the support and some of the back-end "merge or claim post and profile" style features..that'd be cool :) Sat, 1 Nov 2008 15:10:42 +0000 http://randythomas.org/2008/10/31/intense-debate/#IDComment10209023 http://randythomas.org/2008/10/31/halloween-drag-a-memoir/#IDComment10204703 I'll have to say, that was the first thing I thought when I saw the title and the photo was, "That's sooo not Randy."
