I find that when people meet new people (especially when a guy meets a new girl) they spend a great deal of time trying to impress them with the various things that they have done. Usually with stories of past endeavors of peril or blatant stupidity. In some, usually vain, attempt to make this person think that you are better than you actually are. Personally when I meet someone (especially a girl) I’m waiting to be impressed.
When i work at the bookstore i always ask people if they want a bag for their items when they get rung up. Most times people say yes or no and leave it at that, but more often than not people say “no, save a tree.” As if the plastic bag i was gonna give them was made from a tree. I want to correct them but cannot cause im at work. dang.
So many times in life we get caught up in what it is to become a better person. We are told that practice makes perfect and that if you don’t succeed you have to try again. However, i submit that it is this mentality that hinders us. Society has palced a stigma on the “self-made man.” The person who through thier hard work and devotion to excellen has some how achieved a level that the rest of us could not. Maybe thats wrong. I find myself getting so caught up in trying to help God that I forget that He doesn’t need my help. He is the creator of the universe and I’m trying to offer him advise on what he should do. Life it seems is like quicksand. We get caught in it and all logice tells us to struggle and work our way out. Funnily enough the people that survive quicksand are those that don’t struggle. You have to sit back and remain calm making slow and deliberate movements in order to prevent yourself from sinking even further. So perhaps our spiritual journey is like quicksand. We try and run into whatever feels right. We jump head long into ministries and service oppertunities and move in every which direction trying to help where ever we can and do everything we possibly can to help the kingdom, but all the time we are only sinking further and further and by the time we realize it we are too far in to get out and even if we could we don’t have the strength to anyway. All we really to do is make slow, steady, and deliberate moves towards the Father. Stop trying to achieve greatness and focus on what really matters. Obeying and loving God. Maybe life isn’t about how many people we can save, but how many people God can save, or how big of a church we go to and how many small groups we attend or lead in a week. These are vital but they are not the foundation of who we are in Christ. We are made to worship, love, and obey God. All other things should be secondary and if you have built your faith on the foundatoin of obeying the Father and seeking him the rest will fall into place.
Text messages have completely changed the way that men and women “court” eachother. What did people do before they had texting?
So there is a new commercial with Hillary Duff in which she tells these girls that shouldn’t say gay and basically says that they are bad people for saying it. My response to that commercial…
That was totally gay.
Maybe Beyonce has never heard the expression why buy the cow when you get the milk for free.
