No, this post is not spam; I mean it!

I recently got back from a Mission Trip, and it got me thinking about humanity in general - love, hate, the ties that build and the tears that destroy. I am a Christian, but not your typical Christian - I believe we as humans have perverted our original purpose for living with the fall, but I also believe that we are made in the image of God and, unlike many conservative Christians, that we are capable of both great evil and great love. We have only distorted our existence, but we have not destroyed it, and it's times like these, when I survey my life of nearly 17 years thus far, that I realize just how much I have to be thankful for, and what great things might be in store for me in the future.

I have passionate dreams, unrealistic dreams, but I know that even when my expectations let me down, those who love and support me will restore me, and my God will never fail, even when I doubt my very existence - my very purpose for living.

I am a complex person, I am also a very emotionally extreme person, but I am reassured by the moderation I try to hold in life, the love I offer and the love I receive. I am open-minded, but I am also willing to stand up for what I believe in. I have a hope, I have faith, and I also have love to get me through the hard times and remind me of what the future holds if I remain determined.

This mission trip reminded me of my many blessings, and reminded me of the many needs of others. It reminded me of the love people are capable of, and it also reminded me of the spiritual satisfaction of returning that love. This may be an on-line Star Wars community, but you guys have always been here for me. I will try to return the favor.

With Love,

- Daft

Although I dont have a religious edge to this, I'm experiencing similar levels of extreme happiness and gratitude for life. I've got so very much to be thankful for, and I plan to lead a full and happy life with my other half.

I think Bill Bryson did well to capture this in words in his book A Short History of Nearly Everything which he borrowed from for our graduation speech. He put it to us that we should all be thankful to be alive, due to the miniscule odds of a portion of all the atoms in the known universe coming together for such a short time in the massive span of eternity to form a one in scores of billions person.

Life is good, and I'm glad you're enjoying it too mate

Dude, although summer is warm and sunny, and winter is snowy and a jolly time, fall is still a good season of the year.

Oh, and we love you too, bud.

Why, Daft_Vader? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more that your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Daft_Vader. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Daft_Vader. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Daft_Vader? Why? Why do you persist?

I haven't seen the Matrix, but that sounds like something Agent Smith might say.
