| POST POST POST!My name is Elliott Yinger, and I am addicted to not studying.
D is for dinosaur.
But it is also for what I am making in one of my classes.
Dissatisfied, disfunctional, disassociated, dasterdly disasterful D!
Last time I checked though, D also stood for "Diploma".
School is fun, almost done!
At the fold this week, will get no sleep!
If you aren't there, I'll rip out my hair!
Love,
El

| Christ leaves no emptiness within you. You will be led to do
things which you will find enjoyable, and you will like them better
than doing all the things which have led you astray. How happy
you will be when you do not possess anything of your own but give
yourself completely to your Lord. Bride of Jesus, how beautiful
you are when you no longer have anything of your own, but seek only His
beauty. You will then be the delight of your Bridegroom, and He
will be all your beauty! He will love you without measure.
He will put His own life in you.
-François de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon

| Hi! My name is Elliott...and I am addicted to theological-Princess-Bride-type sword fighting finales.
So, what makes me so addicted to these things? Call
it love of my own pure genius, but I think I have found the answer to
all theological debates.
Now, you must be bursting at the seems to shout me
down in a good way or a bad way. "But Elliott," you ask, "Eternal
Security, cessationism, sinning in
Christ, end time prophecy, Israel-Palestine, capital punisment,
abortion...yada, yada? Because if you do know all these answers,
you are amazing!"
Well, all of you flatter me, but, I believe the
answer to these hot topics comes only in one mindset. That is the
mindset of your own wrongness.
I admit to you all that when it comes to many issues (social and
theological), I have changed sides on some, and I will probably flip
flop a few more times in my life. I will strongly stand only on
The Apostle's Creed and that ministry only comes through and from the Holy Spirit.
Think about all the issues in the world today, and
all the people that sit on many different sides to the same
issue. As sure as you think that you are on your side, is just as
sure as they feel in their explanations.
This brings us to the basis for my *perfect* argument...
Everyone is wrong.
No one has ALL the answer. I believe that most of us have mainly wrong answers,
especially myself.
This is a hard spot to come to. I admit. But
once you get here, there is so much freedom. We are so obsessed
with being right, and we argue and slice each other to pieces with
swords that are to be used on the enemy. Let me use this sword to
show you what our constant attempt to be "right" leads to.
Luke 18: 9
To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The
Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am
not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax
collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
"But
the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to
heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a
sinner.'
"I tell
you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before
God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who
humbles himself will be exalted."
The base word of rightousness is "right". We all think we are
right on things. Just know that the ones that disagree with you
also think that they are right.
So now, I admit my wrongness, but I still hunger and thirst for
righteousness, because Isaiah says I will be blessed if I do. How
do I get right?
Romans 3:22
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
So, next time someone comes hurling abortion issues, capital
punishment debates, or eternal security, I enourage you to think of a
quote that my friend Jordan definitely stole
"The first one to the cross wins."
Apply this in all your life situations, even in defending your faith
and you will find that being right in debate is nothing compared to
being made right in Christ.

| Hi, my name is Elliott and I am addicted to Crisis Management.
Sure. I think the American Economy will crash soon and then
European Union will invade and divide this country up into 17 Colonial
states ruled by England, France, and the emerging Republic of
Iraq. Then Iran will liquidate all their assets in Europe,
crashing the economy of Switzerland which will then be invaded by a
local Islamic extremist prince and his "family on a vacation" of 500
armed with ak-47's who will steal all the American and Canadian drug
money that is kept their, convert it to Euro's and buy Sandra Bullock
with the money. They will then brainwash her into a super right
wing religious extremist zealot that is very quiet about it and she
will run for Queen of the United States. She will then get
elected because Hey! Everyone loves Sandra Bullock. After
she is elected, we will all convert to Islam by force and while we are
at our evening prayers, faces to the ground, Bulgarians (the elitist
class of Colonial Ameirca) will come and pick all the white man's
wallets. Then nuclear war. Led by Michael Moore.
Because he is actually a right wing Christian Extremist that believes
the "prayers" that he is supposed to lift up to God in the book of
Revelation to begin Jesus's return are actually symbolic of him making
money off documentaries and using that money to buy nuclear "energy"
technology from Iran and launching them into space (heaven) and then
they come back down to earth (but while they were in "heaven" God
reprogrammed them and chose where they should go, because God needs
help getting Nuclear weapons). He got this idea from Tim Lahaye's
book "Left Behind.....Again....for the 50th time". Which is
actually quite blasphemous since technically Jesus can only return
once, Timmy is advocating Hawkings idea of the universe expanding and
then reducing to nothing thus creating another "Big Bang" since energy
cannot be destroyed. In this book, we all look like Alf or Emmitt
Smith, and it is the United States of Iran. There are only 37
Chinese people, and everyone rides Nuclear weapons to work...and Jesus
has a traveling circus called "Barnum and Jesus' Greatest show in the
Kingdom of Heaven". Satan has a talk show. | | |
| Hi, my name is Elliott and I thought I was Abraham Lincoln when I woke
up this morning. For real. My roommate had visited me in a
dream and told me I was. Ah, reality is a let down.
So, I live off campus right now with 10 guys and it is loads of
fun. I don't really xanga anymore, but if you are a camper, know
I love you and I am excited about the summer. If you aren't a
camper, I love you also, and I encourage you to be at camp this summer.
Bye.
Listen to Lecrae, he won't lead you astray.
Its
5:46 in the morning; tossin and turnin; chest burnin; sermons in my
head keep reoccurring; havin visions in my head of a kid cryin at the
feet of the father for all the wrong things that he did; now I'm sweatin
in my sheets, cant sleep; my mind keeps
tellin me I'm 6 feet deep;
don't remind me; even though I'm still alive I can't tell; the way I'm
livin my life I feel I'm goin to hell;
God, they tellin me I should
except you; that you had to leave the world cause the world left you;
reason I can't change; like a mystery to me; so I make-believe there
really is a heaven for a G; even though they say you loved the world so
much you shed your blood; God, I feel I'm too messed up for love; they
tell me come as I am; but i smell like smoke; my whole life is full of
sin cause its all I know;
the Bible told me you died for my sins; if I
believe in Christ to save me from the end; but I'm scared to ask you to
save me; cause my hearts so evil; I've got thoughts just full of hatred; hurt
from people;
I thought that first I had to clean up my life;
now I'm here and I just gotta cling to the light; I'm ready to do it but, I
pray you understand; my life is a mess, will you take me as I am.
Will
you take me as I am; I know the way I'm livin is wrong, but I can't
change on my own tryin to make it alone; I wonder, how could you love
me when my lifes so ugly; but you came down and died for me.
Will you take
me as I am; I know the way I'm livin is wrong, but I can't change on
my own tryin to make it alone; I wonder, how could you love me when my
lifes so ugly; but you came down and died for me.
Im still tryin
to be the man my daddy never taught me to be; I'm grown up now, life ain't
what I thought it would be; I made many mistakes in my past I can't fix;
now I'm starin at this crucifix, tatted on my wrist;
Is it true what
they tellin me or am I just crazy; did you bleed on the cross for my
sins to save me; but why would you die for me; my whole life I've been
workin for Satan while he fed lies to me;
And now im hearin too much;
tryin to get in true touch; about a love that can change me; I'm all
screwed up; figured hell is what I deserve; but your word says we all
fall short; so I guess we all ought to burn; teach me I want to learn; how
you can save a wretch like me before death says its my turn; I think I finally understand; no matter my past you'll still take me as I am.
Will
you take me as I am; I know the way I'm livin is wrong, but I can't
change on my own tryin to make it alone; I wonder, how could you love
me when my lifes so ugly; but you came down and died for me.
Will you take
me as I am; I know the way I'm livin is wrong, but I can't change on
my own tryin to make it alone; I wonder, how could you love me when my
lifes so ugly; but you came down and died for me.
If I had a few last words to give; I'd be tellin people the
reason to live, the reason to die; united with the King in the sky;
this life is passin us by, I've got no reason to lie;
You'll never give
the world enough; they'll hunger for more; they're fixin their ways
of nothin to settle the score; more security than the man who left you;
or more love than the mommas who kept you; he'll always accept you; be
everything you're supposed to; let Christ rule your heart mind body and
soul because He chose you; and
if the world dont know you; it dont
matter, your God's child and He'll never disown you; your purpose on
earth is far from worthless; thats why you glorify like your lifes been
purchased; and it dont matter if the world dont see us; we still mean
the world to Jesus.
Will
you take me as I am; I know the way I'm livin is wrong, but I can't
change on my own tryin to make it alone; I wonder, how could you love
me when my lifes so ugly; but you came down and died for me.
Will you take
me as I am; I know the way I'm livin is wrong, but I can't change on
my own tryin to make it alone; I wonder, how could you love me when my
lifes so ugly; but you came down and died for me.
Christ through Faith.
