Going Golfing!
Yay! Good day! Then taking a nap, because I’ll be staying up until 7 tomorrow morning and then playing a game of Ultimate! :)
Lord, how do these things happen!

I just found out last night that the brain scan results came back for my little brother, who has been on Ritalin and various other ADD/ADHD/Asbergers medications for years and years now and it turns out that he doesn’t have any of those disorders at all! He has a brain injury! And you know what this means, right?!! He can be fixed! We’ve started his treatment and we’re already...
Maybe this makes me insensitive

But I don’t feel the need to be your facebook friend if I don’t know you. And yes, I know, I may have taught one of your Vacation Bible School Recreation classes 6 years ago. But that doesn’t mean that I know you.
That made me sound really insensitive, didn’t it? Yeah, it did. I guess I have enough people I don’t really know who I would recognize if I saw them...
Is it weird?
Is something wrong when you see millions of facebook groups, “dedicated to helping someone quit smoking,” and no one joins them, but then you see one dedicated to not putting a Golden Retriever down, and in less than a week they’ve almost reached their goal of 1,000,000 people? Is something wrong there?
Is the life of a dog more important than the life of a human? Not so sure...

Sometimes
I feel a manday coming on.
Yep. I definitely feel it.
This break has destroyed the sleeping habits I worked so hard to get over my first semester of college. It’s 11:30 and I’m going to bed.
Manday tomorrow :)
Alright I'm done.
But I’m really excited to watch this movie tonight. Merry Christmas everyone!
Getting my Ultimate fix

Grades are in
And I kept my scholarship. That’s all that matters to me right now. Way to go mackenzie!
1991 was the best year to be born

1994* ;D
you both clearly mean 1992.
/agree with saysomethingclever.
1992 was an even number. Thus it’s better.
1991 is a palindrome. Thus it’s better.

Perfect time for ice cream and a movie.

I love Christmas
I love the symbolism. I know, Jesus wasn’t born on the 25th of December. I know, Jesus wasn’t technically born in a stable, and there were not 3 wise men, and they didn’t even come right away to Bethlehem.
I know, America corrupts everything. Or just consumerism in general corrupts everything. But I love Christmas.
I love the songs. Not the stupid songs. I’m sorry, but...
It has been raining all the day long.
But it just stopped. Which is perfect.
Now, our Ultimate game will be nice and muddy, but the rain won’t be wetting the Frisbee if we don’t drop it. Which will be really good for my flick.
And I think we’re only going to have 4 or 5 on a team, so we’ll probably play boxes instead of end zones. Which is actually cooler than regular Ultimate if you ask me.
Man, I missed...
Middle School Reunion
addafterhours:
So my middle school is having a class reunion. It’s informal and it’s being hosted by a student. Now the thing is, I was made fun of a lot in middle school. We had a small private school, that seemed to be a safe haven, but it wasn’t. The small class size made everything very personal and when a few people pick on you, then everyone else joins in and pretty soon the whole class is...
I want CoD:MW2

Darn right you do. Let me know when you get it/what your GT is.
I will. And we will play Halo. And MW2. ALL DAY LONG.
And we will be happy.

Confession
I haven’t really been on here lately, since I got home. Something about having productive things to do. Which is totally overrated, I know.
But there are like 3 people who just started blogging who I want to be following and then I’m not on. And I know Karissa is totally getting it with her blog because I’ve been able to read a couple. But I don’t really have time to blog...
Every Single Year
You lose to the Raiders or the Chiefs. Really? I don’t even know why I cheer for you.
Found out my grades and I am pumped!
Even though there’s still 2 more I’m waiting on.
I’m home, finally, after a really eventful trip.
I got 12 hours of sleep last night, and I’m ready to see my friends.
I’m in a good mood.
@Will-r
I’ve meant to follow you for just about forever now, I just never remembered when I was by a computer. But now I did, and I am.
Sorry about the delay

Well, after 3 days of 6 Harry Potters, 3 finals,...
Oh wait. I still have my hardest final tomorrow. Well, this should be exciting. Guess what Mackenzie is going to be doing tonight?
@setfreebyyou
Your admissions counselor is Phil Brazell! That’s so exciting! He was my admissions counselor and now is my d group leader and he’s the coolest guy ever! Just so you know.
You’re lucky.
Sorry, totally random, but you just had to know you had the best admissions counselor ever. He really is the best.

Azusa just offered me a 40 freakin’ thousand dollar scholarship! Do you know how many zeros are in that?! AH! I don’t even know what to do with myself. I could just fly out the window, I’m so jazzed!!!
That is so great! I’m so happy for you! :)

Procrastination
this is brilliant!
This video automatically started playing on my dashboard. I didn’t know what it was. I had pandora open, and tumblr open, and facebook open, and it consisted of me yelling at my computer that I was, in fact, not procrastinating. Then, to prove it, I worked for 2 hours straight. And I just found out it...
You ask for miracles
When I give you some miracles, “miracles of coincidence” as I like to call them, you say they aren’t miracles. They can be explained, and are obviously luck. The Sea of Reeds will occasionally dry when there are heavy winds from the North, you say. If it can happen, it’s not a miracle. I give you these miracles, and you don’t take them.
When I give you the other...

God is a God of the weak. He loves the oppressed. There are only 2 things that stir up the Wrath of God in the Old Testament: Idolatry, and OPPRESSION. Notice the plagues when the Israelites were oppressed by the Egyptians? Yeah, Wrath of God could be used when describing those.
My question is, if our God is a God of the oppressed, doesn’t that mean we should live out our God’s...

Dear God
The Broncos didn’t win today. You can make it ok by making sure the Chargers don’t either. Thanks for your time.
Love, Mackenzie
I was just going to the bathroom
When I thought to myself, “You know, if I was a lion, I would be a friendly lion. None of this attacking other animals stuff. I would mooch off my friends, and become friends with the zebras. I would be the coolest lion ever.”
Yes, this just happened to me. No, I didn’t realize how ridiculous it was until after I finished my thought. Yes, I am super cool.
God is risking it when He blesses us
Think about that for a second.
Why does he bless us? So we can bless others and enjoy his creation.
What do we do with the blessings we receive? All too often, not as much of the blessing others portion of it. I remember, I saw something the other day on here that said Americans spend $45 billion on Christmas presents, while only $20 billion would provide clean water for all the world. Is that a...
