Rantings of a Disenfranchised Virginian Student at Cornell University
Let me start this off by saying that this is my fault. I reject the conspiracy theories I've been told that perhaps the folks at the Fairfax County Government Center supposed that absentee college students are much more likely to vote Democrat and so attempted to rig the election ever-so-slightly by "losing my application" or some such nonsense.

Voting God's Politics
It's that time again! That's right, we're due for another opportunity to choose our leaders for the future! I'm sure I don't have to stress the importance of voting (so get on those absentee ballot applications!), but I often find myself wondering what I'm even doing when I have to pick a candidate to give my support to, especially when I take ( Read more... ) -
A Plea for Peace

My Last Weekend in Seattle

Another Court Upholds Injustice

The Washington State Supreme Court (which I recently found out is elected btw) joined NY and a few southern states in deciding to uphold the state's Defense of Marraige Act (DOMA). I've been reading emails all day from Amazon's GLBT employees about it, and they've been ( Read more... ) -
Psalm 73
Truly God is good to Israel,
to those whose hearts are pure.
But as for me, I came so close to the edge of the cliff!
My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone.
For I envied the proud
when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.
They seem to live such a painless life;
their bodies are so healthy and strong.
They aren't ( Read more... ) -
Demon Hunter Concert
I just got back from the Demon Hunter concert I've been excited about going to for weeks! :D It was so amazing! They're such an amazing band, worshipping God and leading others to worship God hardcore (quite literally). I wouldn't describe their music as "angry" per se, but rather an intense channeled energy directed at seeking after God, running ( Read more... ) -
