Godspeed
People used to say "Godspeed" to their departing friends. And I think we should bring it back. Not because I'm all for the old fashioned ways of doing things but because its so TRUE. I mean, when you say that to your friends, you are speaking truth into their lives! With all the lying and deception out there, someone needs some truth every now and again.
I bet you're wondering why I think this is so "true." Let me tell you a story about a guy named Mike. Mike was a hard-worker all through his college career. He made excellent grades and amazing memories. One day, Mike graduated and had to make a few life decisions. He applied to several grad schools and charity/ missions organizations as he looked out over the days of his future. One day, he walked into a church and heard about a man who was building a hospital in Ghana. Mike pursued. Within the week, Mike had a plane ticket to Africa.
To quote my friend, "Life comes at you just that quick sometimes."
God does speed things at us, when the time is right. So, when you say good-bye to people in your life, wish them "Godspeed" so that they too may experience the joy of seeing God sweep in and radically change their lives.
Godspeed, my friends.

everybody needs...
a boycott or two in their lives.
I mean come on: its such a rush. so much fun. deceives you into thinking that you have principles that you are willing to stand up for. its an all-around ego-booster.
i am currently boycotting television because of the media's coverage of the trial and hanging of Saddam Hussein. i was disgusted and have made my claim to not watch television for two months. i can give up the shows- grey's. the office. an occasional movie. but whats really getting to me is sports. i just miss it. and its inconvenient. i cant go to the bar tonight with my friends to watch the UNC vs. Clemson game cause its pointless: i'd be depressed and drink myself into oblivion.
im here to encourage you to boycott something in your life. it'll be worth the inconvenience cause ITS PLAIN FUN and it causes controversy- both, entertaining things :)

issaqueena history retold
contrary to popular belief, this:
is really the nook in which issaqueena hid
from her fellow native americans.
the falls:
are named after her brave feat in defying
her own kind for the "white man"
[yes: that is a couple defiling this sacred historical spot.]
