Halleluiah. Ever wonder about the people you reject? That girl in the cubicle across the hall. Your boss? People you thought you loved, people that hate you and everything you stand for. Single teenaged mothers, those orphans on 31st Street. Those people, just like all people, have been invited to stand on a mighty cornerstone. They have been given the opportunity to become a part of that cornerstone. It's no hidden fact that I am a Christian. I believe openly that God sent his only ...
Every action, a reaction. Every attack, a rebuttal, or a retreat. Each day, a night. Every time someone acts, a direct result comes from that action. However, multiple side reactions occur as well. These side consequences are sometimes even more important than the direct consequence of the action. Not only do they build up over time, side consequences can have unfortunate side effects for a plethora of people. If I still have your attention, then you are more patient than I thought. O...
Well, It's getting to be the holiday season. Woohoo. I love Christmas, but I don't ever really ask for anything. My siblings ask for all kinds of cool things, and I'm satisfied with a nice breakfast and a computer game. It's not a big deal for me getting presents. My bro and sis are all the time waiting for Christmas morning so they can open presents, but I always get my 10 hours of sleep on Christmas Eve. Well, Mom's been hounding me about writing a Christmas list lately, and since ...
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch. Mamoritai, tada anta dake o, sono egao kagayaku hibi o. I write like this because I feel like saying something, but I don’t want to say it. The song lyrics are awesome for expressing a thought or idea without specifics. The lyrics from yesterday’s article also carry with this little trend, and I kinda like it. More thinking on the part of other people. *wicked grin* Advent season is upon us, which means...
It’s good to know, that you fail sometimes. Can’t you see, that this pain is all mine? All rise, all rise. All rise, all rise. Blah. That about covers everything around here. Blah. My siblings are watching Smallville on ABC Family. I’m typing this. Cut myself yesterday while working with my Warhammer 40k stuff. Sharp knives and finger tips are not a good combo. Good thing I recently got my tetnus shot. So the band aid gets in the way when I type and it makes it harder to make c...
If I’m adding to the pain, Please don’t hesitate, To tell me what I’m doing wrong, To push me away or hold me to you, whatever you feel is best. I’m a fool sometimes, And I add to this maze of stupid rhymes, A plea and a set of crying eyes, A list of hopes and wings that fly, take or leave, it’s your choice. Tell me that you want me, Or tell me that you hate me, Either way, Please do something, say, What you will, what you please. Once I had a notion, And it’s set my gea...
Our football team did it tonight, beating our opponent in the state semi-finals. This means we get to go to state finals, and hopefully become State Champions! With that being said, tonight was wonderful because I got to spend a lot of time with Sam. We talked a lot on the way home from the trip, and when I’m with her, I realize how much I need her. She’s always there for me when I’m down and out, she’s there to make me happy when I’m sad, she’s there to help me when I’ve fallen. She’s one...
In response to some comments made by one of the AC Crew, and I'm not going to mention names, but her's starts with "c" and ends with "arebear07" I'm not actually yelling at anyone. But, as you know, things have a way of getting misunderstood, and since no one cares whether they take it the way I meant it or not, I'm just going to say my piece and be done with it. I know I'm not perfect. You don't have to bring that up you know. And if I say something, it's because that is what I was thi...
I'd like to start this blog with the first verse of a song by Jars of Clay. The song is called "See the Art in Me" Images on the sidewalk speak of dream's decent, washed away by storms too great, of cynical lament the dirty canvases, to call my own, the protest limericks, carved, by the old pay-phone. And looking in your picture book, I'm trying hard to see, turning endless pages of this tragedy, Sculpting every move you compose a symphony, And you plead to everyone, see the art i...
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, why do you laugh when you see me fall? And why does it feel like I’m never the same, when I look at you, when you call my name? But I know, That life isn’t what you say, And I know that it isn’t as hard or as easy, as you make it out to be. And I know I’m pissed off, there’s nothing to do, except for me to think about yelling at you, and how I should have shut up because you are me, and being myself isn’t always easy. And I know, That life i...
"The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today, is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, and walk out the door, and then deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world, simply finds unbelievable.” - DC Talk Today, I was able to help lead a contemporary worship service for our church high school youth group. I was asked to do a testimony on love, and it went pretty well. But, listening to DC Talk on the way home, I got thinking about the theme of one...
Everyone likes some card game or the other, whether it be euchre, poker, or old maid. My great-aunt is a bridge fanatic, so I hear about it all the time. As I've said in one of my previous articles (To see it click the Link ) I'm tutoring a young man named Kyle. The more I think about trying to teach him large number addition and subtraction, the more I think a game like Yu-Gi-Oh! might help. For those uninitiated geeks, or for those people who do not have small children, Yu-Gi-Oh! is...
The story of my life.... I am constantly hiding in my twin brother’s shadow. At our school, football is a really big thing. In fact, the whole sport dictates who is “cool” and who is “uncool” simply by whether or not they play football. If you do, you have hundreds of friends, people who talk to you, respect you, make you feel like you belong to something, some group. My brother, a long time before highschool, decided to start playing football instead of playing soccer. At this point, our ...
It’ll get up off it’s dead butt and do a tap-dance! But until that happens, I’m afraid that we’ll have to get along with my article. Pooh.... I hate how some bloggers just start replying to a post over and over again, just saying the same thing in a slightly more condescending voice than the previous post. Being able to say what you want to say is a good thing. Trying to make someone else look stupid because they can’t spell is not. I hate how some bloggers beat their dead horse. It i...
What if I stumble on the way, and end up crawling, instead of walking and if I could not last the rest of the day, would you please pick me up, and dust me off, tell me that I’m alright, tell me with your cheerful smile that I’m tough, and that I’ll be ok. I know you love me, and that we both love each other, we fight sometimes, but we don’t sleep on anger, and I know that I’m not perfect, it seems to me that you are, so if I stray, please take my hand and lead me, lead the way.
