I need to remember these things, daily. Don't you ever stop writing! :-) Sat, 9 Jul 2011 17:02:07 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/2011/06/28/what-men-really-want/#IDComment171511692 http://makeitmad.com/2011/06/28/what-men-really-want/#IDComment171511146 (I just wanted to say that I love your name... :-) -Kirsten Johnson) :-) Sat, 9 Jul 2011 16:59:40 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/2011/06/28/what-men-really-want/#IDComment171511146 http://madacrossamerica.com/these-are-no-conditions-for-truth/#IDComment134258425 Awesome.

I think I just realized the imput/input dilemma recently myself. I think I've said it so fast that I never realized WHAT I was saying. I also just realized that dilemma is spelled with two 'm's... and not "dilemna." I don't know why, but I thought it was spelled with an 'm' and an 'n'. Anywho... It also grinds my gears when people say 'expresso,' 'irregardless,' and 'illinoize'... aaah!!! I was born in Illinois, so that's probably my unfavorite. <<--which is also NOT a word ;-) We're in the same boat, love... and I love it! :-D Thu, 24 Feb 2011 06:35:17 +0000 http://www.skywaitress.com/2011/02/ns-and-ms/#IDComment130264328 http://makeitmad.com/2011/02/22/dear-america-you-have-lost-your-faith-and-i-intend-to-find-it/#IDComment130166541 Max... simply freaking amazing! I'm so proud of you! ...and it's been amazing watching your journey! I can't wait to see what God does this month! Praying for you... -Kirsten Wed, 23 Feb 2011 20:54:18 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/2011/02/22/dear-america-you-have-lost-your-faith-and-i-intend-to-find-it/#IDComment130166541 http://makeitmad.com/2011/01/26/mad-across-america/#IDComment125236576 Hey! We'd love to have you in Northwest Indiana! I'm sure I can find a place for you to stay if you come this way. I'm really excited for your adventure & can't wait to see what God does this month!! :-) Kirsten :-) Tue, 1 Feb 2011 19:48:50 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/2011/01/26/mad-across-america/#IDComment125236576 http://makeitmad.com/2010/12/15/a-gentlemans-guide-to-the-holidays/#IDComment115987674 Loved it, Max! So, are you saying you'd like a Starbucks gift card for Christmas... because I kind of work at one... :-) Merry Christmas! Wed, 15 Dec 2010 16:44:39 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/2010/12/15/a-gentlemans-guide-to-the-holidays/#IDComment115987674 http://makeitmad.com/2010/11/23/defenseless-in-the-very-ocean-your-god-created/#IDComment113198611 Wow. I'm thankful for this blog, which I guess means that I'm thankful for you. I'm thankful that despite the circumstances you have chosen to take a stand (and make it mad). You've decided that truth and transparency is the cost to gain the Truth in your inner parts (Psalm 139). A side note: I totally heard the voice of Roz (from Monster's Inc.) as I was reading the lady's responses. :-) ...and I really needed to hear the 'deeper' thing. I'm not in the exact situations as you, but I am, nonetheless at a turning point in the road.... in very many situations in my own life: work, school, my ridiculous room. So, as I'm typing I'm even convicted that I have a lot to be thankful for. It's certainly "not fair" what is happening to you (but since when has life ever been fair?!). You're definitely being brought out of your comfort zones. The Father is certainly not -causing- these things to happen, but at times He does allow them to bring us closer to Him. Maybe the only reason is so that you'll be pushed to be mad enough about something to actually stand up and fight, instead of sitting back and just watching life roll by (like the security guard did). I'm sorry about all of these things that have been happening and I will be praying for you as the Holy Spirit brings you to my mind. So again, thank you. I pray that I'm pushed to 'make it mad,' as well. -Kirsten Wed, 1 Dec 2010 19:37:50 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/2010/11/23/defenseless-in-the-very-ocean-your-god-created/#IDComment113198611 http://makeitmad.com/blog/2010/08/12/a-gentlemans-guide-to-staying-cool-in-the-21st-century/#IDComment112799092 By the way... what did you mean by LOL? Did you mean typing the letters or actually laughing out loud? :-) Tue, 30 Nov 2010 05:15:42 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/blog/2010/08/12/a-gentlemans-guide-to-staying-cool-in-the-21st-century/#IDComment112799092 http://makeitmad.com/blog/2010/08/12/a-gentlemans-guide-to-staying-cool-in-the-21st-century/#IDComment112798843 As a girl, I loved this. Absolutely. Tue, 30 Nov 2010 05:14:26 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/blog/2010/08/12/a-gentlemans-guide-to-staying-cool-in-the-21st-century/#IDComment112798843 http://makeitmad.com/blog/2010/10/06/the-color-pornography-doesnt-look-good-on-you-going-18-months-and-counting-without-porn/#IDComment112745431 Thanks for being transparent. Just as PCZ said (and you alluded to in your writing), so many people actually have struggled or continue to struggle with this same issue. And as you said, it's kept hidden. The truth is that in a room full of people, chances are many of them struggle with this, but wear their facades well. This is an issue irrespective of gender, though many think it's only something men deal with. That's another lie. Shock alert: Women struggle with pornography and getting off just as much as guys do. I've struggled with it off & on for many years. I was first exposed to porn when I was like three. How is that "fair?" But thanks, Max, for the reminder that God does have a more fulfilling life for me. Thanks for the reminder that there is such greater pleasure to be had in the beauty of marriage. Thanks for the reminder that there is so much more to life than temporary highs and lustful pleasure. Thank you for the reminder that God doesn't want us to hide behind our shame, but expose the darkness to light. Thank you. I love your blog. I love the fact that you're reminding the world to be real and face their issues instead of keeping them locked up in their closets. Thanks. :-) Mon, 29 Nov 2010 23:03:27 +0000 http://makeitmad.com/blog/2010/10/06/the-color-pornography-doesnt-look-good-on-you-going-18-months-and-counting-without-porn/#IDComment112745431 http://makeitmad.com/blog/2010/10/06/the-color-pornography-doesnt-look-good-on-you-going-18-months-and-counting-without-porn/#IDComment112743493 God would never say this...

I need to remember that it's okay to be alone. This is becoming more and more the season where I need to embrace it, because I find myself more and more wanting not to be. ...and I must remember while I may feel lonely, I'm never really alone: the One who spoke my soul into existence and gave me purpose is there beside me every step of the way. mmmm.... to enjoy being alone Mon, 13 Sep 2010 20:45:28 +0000 http://www.skywaitress.com/2010/09/alone/#IDComment98594922 http://www.skywaitress.com/2010/08/insert-best-caption-here/#IDComment96099556 My wife was 9 1/2 (yes, I know) months pregnant and she wanted a stinkin' twinkie!! I couldn't say no, and I had to run in as fast as I could!! Don't you understand? Give me a break please... 9 1/2 months... Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:49:42 +0000 http://www.skywaitress.com/2010/08/insert-best-caption-here/#IDComment96099556 http://www.skywaitress.com/2010/07/six-months/#IDComment84094814 I've been meaning to make a list of things to do before I'm 30. I should probably do that this summer. Ha! If I have time... I can't even get my room straightened (something I *need* to do), let alone make a list of things I'd want to do (which I'd be more prone blow off my room to do...). So, yeah, I need to make that list, as I only have 4 years left. Ok, I think my heart just stopped. I - have - four - years - until - I'm - thirty........ AAaaaaahhh!!!! Oh my goodness, I think I may cry. Not at the thirty thing, though that's jolting in and of itself, but at the fact that there are so many things I've wanted to do, or I thought I would have done, before 30. I'm going to go write a blog about this now & expound on my stinking emotions.... Fri, 2 Jul 2010 06:35:13 +0000 http://www.skywaitress.com/2010/07/six-months/#IDComment84094814
