• quotable quips.

  So, I have a ridiculous amount of away messages that I never use…but I also never delete them because they are quote or lyrics that I like too much…some have authors/sources, others don’t...I suck at keeping track of those things! Haha.

   

  So I thought I’d put them on here so you could enjoy them as well!

   

   

  AndretheGiant II: woah now chica, pretty sure you're a girl, and I'm pretty sure girls don't drink beer

  Auto response from mswags09: a fire pit, a beer, steak dinner, and family makes for a great evening at home

  AndretheGiant II: shouldn't you be concocting some fruity mixed drink with a messload of pieces of fruit in it or something?

   

  The Gospel that we carry is not safe. It is not. It is not manageable. Not efficient. Loving people is not efficient. But the Gospel IS good and it IS true.... It's not for the faint of heart. " –Derek Webb

   

  Jesus, folks-He is NOT safe. He is not manageable. He's a wild Lion, you cannot tame Him. He's not safe. But He is good, and He is King. You can trust Him. You can trust that He will provide for you what you need, as you go out and you seek to tell people about Him. The Gospel that we carry is not safe. It is not. It is not manageable. Not efficient. Loving people is not efficient. But the Gospel IS good and it IS true.... It's not for the faint of heart. " –Derek Webb

   

  "if we seek to neuter the gospel, just to rob it of its great offense and therefore its great beauty, then its no longer the gospel we are preaching to people. We are not doing anyone any favors by making the gospel easier to hear. because it ceases to be the gospel."

  -derek webb

   
  

  Wisdom light my way into the dark.

  Your words, the melody that carries me.

  We can't make a change til we know who we are.

  What burns? The fire refining me.

  -Emery

   

  There is a part of me that always sees the easy way out. If it doesn't hurt, then not another word. You keep the reasons all but hidden, it feels like we will drown. So why hold on, when it's so far gone. Is there a chance, just a chance that you need me. Or are we better off thinking that in this dance the romance is a secret. But I'm not quite sure I believe yet. With my eyes, with my words. Catch me I'm slipping through... So we rise and fall. Catch me I'm slipping through your fingers.

  -Emery: "Churches and Serial Killers."

   

  I take for granted the grace that is given me

  daily I know, oh.

  How can you say that you love me when all that I want.

  All that I want is your blessing and then I am gone.

  Nothing I do can make up for the things I have done

  Your love is all we need. We're gonna make it.

  So let's close our eyes tonight and just believe.

  -Emery

   

  "Just because I'm subject to the frailty that is human emotion it does not justify my blindness to my blessings."

   

  Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

  -Mahatma Gandhi

   

  When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

   

  Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.

  -Count of Monte Cristo

   

  "But the bare goodness of God is what ought to be preached and known above all else, that God saves us out of pure goodness, without any merit of works, so we in turn should do the works without reward or self-seeking, for the sake of the bare goodness of God."

  -Martin Luther

   

  So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

  -Matthew 6

   

  sleep comes easily to me

  against the wall vibrations rock

  gently into dreamless sleep

  your muffled voice i do not block

  i always wanted you to sing me to sleep

  -Bekah Garton

   

  In every generation, there's that rare breed of people that can see what nobody else sees... and I don't mean they can see what God's doing, but there's that quality of person, that heart, that rare person that sees and nothing can distract them; they stand unmoved with their face set like flint towards the kingdom of God. The simplicity and purity of love for Jesus. And normally they become very famous Christians...because of the violent nature of the simplicity of devotion they are separated in the body of Christ and they are exalted because of the unusual nature of their heart. And I guess it's good that we honor them, but it's only bad that there are so few of them."

  ~Mike Bickle

   

  "Manny:'Thats what you do in a herd, you look out for each other.'

  Sid:'I dont know about you guys but we are the weirdest herd I have ever seen.'"

  and this is how my roomies function

   

  so close to reaching that famous happy end

  and almost believing this was not pretend

  Lets go on dreaming for we know we are so close and still so far....

  -jon mclaughlin

   

  Somewhere there's a break in the weather

  Where your heart and spirit go free

  Someday it'll be for the better

  Let this bring you peace...

   

  Let Me bring you joy, let Me bring you peace

  Take these tears that you cry and trust them to Me

  Let Me give you heart and let Me give you hope

  Be the one constant love that you've never known...

  -N Sync

   

  The way is not in the sky, the way is in the heart. See how you love whatever keeps you from your journey? The way is not in the sky, the way is in the heart. All things arise and pass away but the awakened awake forever.

   

  AndretheGiant II: you can't show emotion when you're typing

  mswags09: you're patronizing me..i can tell

  AndretheGiant II: you can tell from my typing?what, like, each font has a different tone to it? is that what you're saying? should I type in big comical letters when I'm happy now?is that what you want?

   

  
  

  we took off our coats cause we finally realized

  that it's not the weather that was making us feel cold.

  my thoughts still left at the back door

  and you still bothering me for

  not looking you straight in the eyes,

  but I'm not this time;

  so I looked right through you to the passing trees

  and focused on just one; you asked

  'why is everything so different after dark?'

  I told you this once, but you took it with a grain of salt

   

  You give me hope, and hope it gives me life

  You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light

  As I exhale I hear your voice

  And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise

  And from my lips the words I choose to say

  Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise

  Because I love you...Oh God, I love you

  -relient k

   

  It's late and i'm feeling so tired having trouble sleeping

  this constant compromise, between thinking and breathing

   

   And sometimes when you're trying to sleep

  And all your doubts and your faith don't agree        

  Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth

   

  A signal flashes faintly from the shore.

  Echos in the distance with the sound of your voice.

  Nothing's ever seemed so far away

   

  The Lord bless you and keep you;

  the Lord make his face to shine upon you

  and be gracious to you;

  the Lord turn his countenance upon you

   and give you peace.

  -Numbers 6:24-26

   

  Somehow the story goes

  That through breaking your heart knows

  That somewhere else it needs to be...

  -Brad Brewer

   

   Peace of conscience, peace with God

  We obtain through Jesus' blood

  Jesus' blood speaks solid rest

  We believe and we are blest

  -Derek Webb

   

  The devil is preaching the song of the redeemed

  That I am cursed and gone astray

  I cannot gain salvation...embracing accusation

  -Shane and Shane

   

  There is a place I call my own

  Where I can stand by the sea,

  And look beyond the things I've known ,

  And dream that I might be free.

  Like the bird above the trees

  Gliding gently on the breeze,

  I wish that all my life I'd be

  Without a care and flying free!

   

  "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."

  
  

  Hope you enjoyed them!
