I read a quote in a book yesterday that I wished I'd thought of, it said, "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day (Coelho 77);" there is always something can be learned from our failures. It is in our failures that we come to know success. It is through sin that we know the power of forgiveness. Because of our pride, we learn the power of humility. It is through judgment and condemnation that we learn the power of grace. It seems it takes a little bit of this to make us know a little bit of that - figuratively speaking of course.
My dad used to say a coward is a man who retreats in the face of fear; courage is the man who sees fear, recognizes fear, is full of fear, but acts anyway. Chasing dreams is bigger than wishing upon falling stars or hoping, really hoping it'll come to be. I believe it requires a bit of courage.

hey will, we missed you tonight. how come you didn't come?
anyway, it's normal to get a few points of poll boost after the party convention. i'm hoping obama will close that tiny gap and overtake him though. mccain's campaign is ridiculous... its based on lies, lies, lies. it's seriously effed up. did you hear how they took obama's comment about "lipstick on a pig" out of context and use that as an accusation that obama made a sexist comment???? how stupid are these people??? i guess you have to sink that low when you've got nothing going good for you. there is seriously no respect left for mccain from me. i hate hate hate hate hate it when politics become more important than ideals. it's disgusting. he disgusts me. that's the truth. ok, i'm done with my rant. hehehe.
