Tag: Adventure Time

I can’t remember when it started, but I started watching Adventure Time one weekend and I got hooked. I think my best friend is the reason – he often tweeted and talked about it, and I got curious. At first I thought it was like Ren and Stimpy – which I really, really hate – but it was far from it!

But here’s the thing: every time I watch an episode, I forget what it’s about soon after. It may be a sign of aging, but it could also be that the episode doesn’t really have much retention factor? Maybe it’s really just mindless fluff?

Heh, I remember one of my closest friends telling me, after I told him that I really enjoy watching Adventure Time: “Are you high?” XD

I don’t know why it took me so long to follow Ann Voskamp on Facebook. If only I followed her sooner, then I probably would have read gold nuggets like this sooner:

I think I’m going to get her book, One Thousand Gifts, soon.

And speaking of Ann Voskamp, she posted this earlier today, and I got tears in my eyes:

Lord, nobody knows how hard we’re trying to be brave
to show up when it’d be easier to give up, 
to go do hard & holy things when it’d be easier to go do happy things, 
to not quit when we don’t know how to keep going on. 
And You lean close & breathe warm courage into our exhausted places: “Just Call to Me. I guarantee I will answer you. I will make you strong & brave.” (Ps.138:3)
Be Brave. Hold on to your Light to hold back the flood of dark.
Be Brave. Your bravery wins a thousand battles you can’t see because your bravery strengthens a thousand others to win their battles too.
Be Brave. And do not pray for the hard to go away. But pray for a bravery *bigger than the hard to come.*
Be Brave. There are angels are closer than you know.

And all the Brave & Courageous & the Never-Give-Uppers
who cling to the Bravest One who loved us to death & saved us back to the realest & forever life,
we all believed angels were close & said Amen.

Hey Brave, Courage. I missed you. :)

Because I believe in being accountable, and in sort of pressuring myself to meet a deadline, I’m going to put it out here. Save the date: September 29. I think I will finally cross out one overdue pending item in my bucket list (that is not related to travel, or getting a car. Or a family). :)

I can’t believe it’s the last week of August. :O Wow.
