I sure don't. Sometimes his name shows up in articles, trivia games, or news reports and I still do not know who he is. You would think I would just google him. Nope, haven't done that either. But one article that mentioned his name talked about people who not only see the world as it is, but sees it as it could be. Among the names mentioned were Martin Luther King and Jesus. Not only do I want to be a kind of person who sees the world as it is and as it could be, but I also want to be the kind of person that does something about it. It's pretty vague, but its who I want to be. No mid-life crisis for me when I'm forty. No "integrity vs. despair" when I'm old enough to be a part of the Red Hat Society. I want to live in a way that when I look back on my life, I can be proud. Not of what I accomplished, but what I let God accomplish with my life. Gosh, I cannot wait to see what that is going to look like.
One more deep thought before I really get talking. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 says.....
"Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. 23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."
To the weak, Paul became weak, to win the weak. What does that mean?? Maybe William Wilberforce would know.
All right, here we go on some jennywisdom....
1. don't get a cat. patrick is cool, but he just put his butthole on my arm trying to sit on my laptop while i am typing this blog.
2. give lady gaga a chance. she's fascinating. almost all of her ridiculous and shocking behavior/outfits have some sort of message. look at it as a challenge to figure her out. it'll be like the game you can never win.
3. go to pondo. yep, i'm still saying it.
4. don't eat icecream by yourself when you are watching the superbowl. after you are done, you'll see one of the saint's cheerleaders all cute and skinny and feel bad about what you just did.
5. get a rice cooker. so you can cook rice.
i'm done. i'll just ramble if i keep going. have a great rest of your day whenever you read this. remember that God is happy with you. and if you know who william wilberforce is and he's actually someone i would be ashamed writing about, dont judge me. i really dont know who he is promise. but if he's awesome, then you are welcome.
