Plagiarising

Been talking to my friend Jane and thinking about what voice God wants to give me. What's the message He wants me to BE and PREACH? Too long have I played the part of the tape player. Just record what speakers, preachers, worship leaders say, yet lack true revelation and understanding of what I'm talking about because what I'm talking about is someone else's revelation or lack thereof. It's time to throw away the tape player, shut up and be silent before God. Talk is cheap.

Jesus, help me know how to be quiet....cause I've tried, it's hard!!!!

as I was thinking about this, thought of this quote from "Good Will Hunting", made me chuckle

Will: Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.
Clark: Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social -
Will: "Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth"? You got that from Vickers' "Work in Essex County," page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you pawn it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend?
