Deep Thoughts

Okay,
So here is where you post your own Deep Thought as a comment. It must be original, not a Jack Handey quote!

I'll start us off with a gem I thought of today...

"Patience always pays off... except for those times when it doesn't."

(Rob Petkau)

It's not my quote...but it's a deep thought:

"Hold onto the fact that God's holding onto you!" (Michael Cronk)

Michael Cronk quotes go on forever. I got one that's been passed down through many a persons though.

'Everything is within walking distance. If you have the time' (Who said this?)

I don't think it's a Jack Handey quote...

Finding direction in your life sometimes leaves you scratching your head...sort of like looking at the train track and trying to figure out which way the train went.

I'm pleased that my quotes have evolved past snowballs thrown aimlessly. Now they're gathering snow in the decent. Mabee one day they'll ice over and totally take somone out...

When it comes to deep thoughts the only thing that comes to mind are two from WC Fields...

I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.

hey rob, I have a blog. finnaly haha. myspace.com/senslessteenagepoetry. Im going to leave you with my last blog, as it is a deep thought, its kinda long. meh

I remember depression, I remember not wanting to be around ppl, thinking I was an outcast, and a tag along. not knowing how to interact, bumbling words together trying to make sentences. It was hard to live. I wanted so badly a love i could hold and they would just comfort me and hold me as i cried. I was embarrassed when i hung out with my old friends, I didn't know what they thought of me. And I didn't think to highly of myself so i assumed they didn't either. I couldn't connect with god at all. he felt missing. i remember a pain inside me, i constant aching, and constant tiredness. I felt like a zombie, not really being there, not being able to sense what was going around me. I remember days where still i can slip in and out of these thoughts. not thinking I'm good enough for anybody. assuming God wasn't there or i wasn't good enough for him. i remember this pounding on my heart when ever i felt a glimpse of love. I remember certain ppl still who showed me love in my hopeful despair. friends who wouldn't give up on me. even after i did. I remember sitting in worship services, alone, in thought, writing the words God put on my heart, treasuring them for an instant, to forget them all together in a moment's notice. I remember being chased by god for control of my soul. I lost. He won me over, and showed me a brand new love for writing. i was able to focus my thoughts. all of them. he led me to Ukraine, where in the process of leaving delivered me entirely from the darkness over my eyes. I saw life the way he intended. I loved the people all around me. I remember God telling me to tell the world that depression can be dangerous. that there is always someone somewhere who loves them, as I love them. too many people die every year from loneliness, brokenness. suicide does not have to happen. life gets better, i met a girl, a love that only reflected Gods love, If i killed my self i would have never known that love, I would have never known how true Gods love actually is. as time goes on i know I will meet another girl, my wife. and I can only wait for that love. that amazing moment when two ppl are joined to one. where everything is perfect for a single instant. and In Gods truth and love we are whole. Do not think this wont happen to you. It will. God loves you too. even if you don't know or love him. its still a fact that he loves you. lets always as human kind love each other. spend our days together in community. never loose hope. never turn your back. in life there is hope. and in hope theres life. I love you all.
