i still can't believe steve's going to korea and not coming back til july.

anyways, we had a goodbye dinner for him today.

not really a guys things to do, but we all ordered desert just for the heck of it.

and it hit me...

now i understand why girls always order desert at a restaurant and guys never do.

it has something to do with why girls always eat so little.

i think you get the idea, but i'll add that girls always seem to have a sweet tooth more than guys. guys don't NEED a cheesecake after dinner to feel like the meal was a success, if the main course itself was good enough.

French may not be THE most useless language ever, but here's some reasons a lotta ppl feel that way:

outside of France, and maybe parts of Canada, not many people need speak it out of necessity. ever needed French to get by any particular area in the melting pot known as the US?

there's still a lotta people from France around these days(hence, the amount of people who exist from France and need to speak it to survive these days vs the amount of people in the world who don't use it is slanted compared to some scant native american tribe)

it just sounds "gay." maybe that's cause the typical french accent often revolves around pursing your lips and using oo's, u's, and upward accents. i THINK that's the reason it sounds kinda "gay."

so there you have it; main reasons i think why some ppl think french is a useless language; lotsa ppl from france, not a lotta places where you need to speak it, and it just sounding REALLY weird = useless.

"TRUE truth" can only be seen once you take a non-biased, comprehensive analysis of the subject you are trying to study. until you do so, it may only be "biased opinion." otherwise known as ignorance. that's not to say all truths are non-biased. but "TRUE truth" looks at both sides, all angles and says "i know about these arguments, and understand why they're put up, but after close analysis, these counterarguments are stronger."

James 4:3 is powerful. just read it, and see if it isn't the most telling reason why we're not asking God in prayer for the right reasons:

3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

the more i ponder upon this verse, the more it becomes imprinted upon my mind. it's simple to remember and quite profound. b/c i have not found any other verse in the bible which explains WHY God doesn't answer every single of our requests the way we want him to.

you know what are the 3 things of the world: lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. that's what the "lusts." in the verse refer to, do they not?
