ponderings of the heart.

• i have weird dreams. they are odd and crazy and often hilarious. i once dreamed i went to mexico with the jonas brothers to adopt a little mexican boy. see what i mean?

• sometimes what we want isn't what we get; sometimes what we get ain't really what we want. (thank you, dave barnes) you know when you reeeeally want something, whether it be an object or a person, and you would give anything to have it? you pray and wish for it all day long. and then it happens -- you get it... and you realize you don't really want it. or in my case, you realize you don't need it (him). it's (he's) not good for you. sometimes we get caught up in what we want that we don't look at what we need. we put things and people on a pedestal, and that's wrong. the bible says "you shall have no other gods before me. you shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." -exodus 20:3-4. ouch. conviction, anyone?

• tim tebow is awesome. say what you want about him, but the guy is using the platform of the NFL to share and spread the love of Christ to others. from "tebowing" to thanking his Lord and Savior in interviews and press conferences, he is not ashamed. people want to say he's taking it too far and talking about it way too much. did you know that one time when he wore "john 3:16" painted under his eyes, millions of people googled that verse? millions. the guy is doing something right. (although i am still a little bitter about that BCS loss to the gators a few season ago)
