|←Read Between the Lines→|

I made an interesting myspace summary the other day. I will always get on about 9ish or so, just to check it before I go night-night, and I will always see at least 3 different posts in bullitens of someone saying "I had the worst day ever!". Odd thing is, it's always from non-religious people. Now, I'm not sure if this is just me being lucky or something, but I have had Jesus in my life since birth, and my bad days since then have totaled to 3, ever. Out of my 4200+ days on Earth, only 3 have been actually considered to me to be bad. But its me who is the one who needs to show the others that the reason for your bad day is not having Jesus. Think about it, if you are a christian and reading this, you know that there is that one secular friend you have that is just having a crap life. If that applies, it should be your initiative to witness to that one person.

Even the Rooster Sleeps Later Than This!!

Well, it's that time of year again, Clemson games. One more year of waking up at 3:30 AM. One more years of yelling jerks. One more year of the hot sun. One more year of the hardcore directional pointing. One more year of the magical green vests. One more year of walking 10 minutes to go pee. So far this year, I have almost collapsed of heat exhaustion, gotten run over, almost witnessed a fight, reported multiple cases of indescent exposure (peeing out of the bed of a truck is just stupid), gotten burnt twice, 4 ant bites, 7 misquito bites, gotten offered beer, been called mulitple words sailors use, and it has only been 3 games. Although all this trouble, I still have to realize that all this pain will pay off with Set Apart 07. And its kind of fun getting to spend time with friends. I will have a full blog on the subject come mid-December.

Roller Coaster Tycoon

Tonight, Matt compared christianity to a balloon ride, but I think that is a little innaccurate (not meaning to bag on your sermon Matt, it was a really good one). In my opinion, your relationship with Jesus is like a roller coaster more than anything, the higher you are on the coaster is like your religious "spice". Here is my reasoning for saying that. A strong religious event, like a convention would be in my case, would get the kart on the track going up the first hill, as being compared to rising up for Jesus. And everyone likes that feeling of being on top, knowing that you don't know whats coming, and your adrenaline is just going all over the place. Then, you start to fall (and everyone falls). For some people, that first drop is amazing, while to others, its a scary feeling they don't want to experience again, but yet the ride continues. And there are some loops occasionally where you get those few moments of excitement, but nothing too outrageous. Eventually though, you will end up back at the station, where you can start your religious track again, or get off the ride. That may seem a little harsh, but we all know it happens. I want to be like that safety bar though, and hold people into their seat as long as possible. What does this mean for you? You are the one building your ride. GOD just has the blueprints already. Make it however you choose. Mine however, is unfinished, and I like it like that!
