I just read today's entry from My Utmost for His Highest and it was really great stuff.
The Conditions of Discipleship
If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also . . . . And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me . . . . So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple —Luke 14:26-27, 33
If the closest relationships of a disciple’s life conflict with the claims of Jesus Christ, then our Lord requires instant obedience to Himself. Discipleship means personal, passionate devotion to a Person— our Lord Jesus Christ. There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause— He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus. Many of us who call ourselves Christians are not truly devoted to Jesus Christ. No one on earth has this passionate love for the Lord Jesus unless the Holy Spirit has given it to him. We may admire, respect, and revere Him, but we cannot love Him on our own. The only One who truly loves the Lord Jesus is the Holy Spirit, and it is He who has "poured out in our hearts" the very "love of God" (Romans 5:5 ). Whenever the Holy Spirit sees an opportunity to glorify Jesus through you, He will take your entire being and set you ablaze with glowing devotion to Jesus Christ.
The Christian life is a life characterized by true and spontaneous creativity. Consequently, a disciple is subject to the same charge that was leveled against Jesus Christ, namely, the charge of inconsistency. But Jesus Christ was always consistent in His relationship to God, and a Christian must be consistent in his relationship to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to strict, unyielding doctrines. People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ. | | |
| I'm sad to announce that my blow dryer died.  I know I can just go to Wal-Mart and get a new one, but I was so attached to that one! It made my hair look great!
It was actually a shocking (literally) experience when it died on me this morning (with my hair only half dried). All I was doing was drying my hair when all of a sudden it sparked and flamed and made a huge popping noise. Scared me to death! I quickly unplugged it. I noticed that there are wires in the cord that are exposed! 
Yeah it's time for a new one.
Farewell my friend, you were great while you lasted.

| So last night I was dreaming that I was in the Orlando airport, and if you've ever been there you know they have this monorail thing that takes you to the building where your gate is. Well in my dream I was riding this and getting off at random stops (which is funny because there is only a beginning and an end...no stops in the middle). Well, in my dream, the door to the monorail was closing so I had to lunge to make it inside and not be late for my flight. (where I was flying to....I have no clue). Well in reality there was a wall where I lunged so I headbutted the wall.  I remember it happening...but I remember feeling so confused. I didn't know if it really happened or if it was my dream. So I had to ask my roomy if it really happened and she confirmed hearing a loud thump. Apparently I hit the wall pretty hard. I don't have a bruise though or a headache. That would have been so funny if I had gotten a black eye from it or something. Lol.
