But the longing is there, built into us like a jack-in-the-box that presses for release… Whether we realize it or not, simply to be human is to long for release from mundane existence with its confining walls of finitude and morality. -Huston Smithjackintheboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14750169332303178741noreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22126687.post-1164690564853385162006-11-27T21:58:00.000-07:002006-11-27T22:09:24.866-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/1600/Rory%20very%20new.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/320/Rory%20very%20new.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/1600/Rory%20think-sleep.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/320/Rory%20think-sleep.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/1600/Rory%20Duck.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/320/Rory%20Duck.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/1600/Rory%20Laughs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/320/Rory%20Laughs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/1600/Rory%20Reads.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2401/2246/320/Rory%20Reads.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />After figuring out how to upload pictures on the last blog, Lisa and I thought we'd add a few more pics for family and friends to see a couple of updated pictures of Rory.<br /><br />And no, we're not going to be those annoying parents that only put pictures of their kid all over the place.

He says the new church will be different from the old one, that we will be relevant to culture and the human struggle. I don’t think any church has ever been relevant to culture, to the human struggle, unless it has believed in Jesus and the power of His gospel. If the supposed new church believes in trendy music and cool Web pages, then it is not relevant to cultures either. It is just another tool of Satan to get people to be passionate about nothing.”<br />Blue Like Jazz<br />Donald Millar<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22126687-114939690087193168?l=jackbuildshouses.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jackintheboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14750169332303178741noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22126687.post-1145512807395899392006-04-19T23:53:00.000-06:002006-04-20T00:10:11.430-06:00I have just realized that I have 2 blog sites. For the longest time I haven't been able to figure out what the heck is going on. Turns out, back in 2004, I tried to get a blog going, got distracted from it and couldn't remember any of my login stuff. So I started all over again. Then today, I went to post... and logged in to my old site. That's simply amazing! What luck to now have 2 blogspots. Maybe one could be the evil blog and the other the good blog.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22126687-114551280739589939?l=jackbuildshouses.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jackintheboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14750169332303178741noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22126687.post-1141066853072248442006-02-27T11:59:00.000-07:002006-02-27T12:00:53.113-07:00Well, I feel<br />Like I have to feel<br />Something good all of the time<br />With most of life I cannot deal<br />But a good feeling I can feel<br />Even though it may not be real<br />And if a person, place or thing can deliver<br />I will quiver with delight<br />But will it last me for all my life<br />Or just one more lonely night<br /><br />The lust, the flesh<br />The eyes<br />And the pride of life<br />Drain the life<br />Right out of me<br /><br />Well, I see something and I want it<br />Bam!
