So I know I haven't done anything on the site in weeks, but I've been busy preparing for/starting college. And now I'm gonna put up the biggest lesson I've learned in a long time, and it has nothing to do with science.

     If you keep up with the blog, you may have noticed that there's a really special guy in my life and that things aren't that easy keeping him there. Circumstances and all. But he was still really special. He is still really special.
     He just can't be the same kind of spec...

So in James 2, the Bible says that even if we live perfect lives, if we mess up once, we've basically trashed the whole law and we're guilty of all of.  In the sermon on the mount, Jesus says that to hate someone is the same as to murder them, and to lust after a woman is the same as to have slept with her.  And a lot of people stumble with this, because surely murder is worse than anger! ... right? Well, isn't it??
Well I finally worked it out in my head last night. The statement I am about ...

Alright, so here it is, this thing that made me so happy that I am writing a blog on how much I love something:
"Grace means that all of your mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame."
khvfgjgs.
I love this so much, because this is so true, and so refreshing, and so happy-making, and so, so, so beautiful.
Grace is an instrument that God uses to show us His love.  Grace is when God says, "Yeah, I know you made of mess of your life, and of lots of other people's lives, but hey, I s...

Anyone like photography? Are you the photo taker, or just the photo viewer?  Either way, isn't it so cool when the picture has one point of crystal-clear focus and everything else in the shot is super blurry?  It really shows you what's important to the photographer, doesn't it?  Everything in the background and surrounding is undetailed, indecipherable, but we typically don't think to think about that part, because there's a perfect shot of something else for us to study and set our minds on...

How important is your freedom? To be able to make your own decisions, with no accountability, responsibility- not needing to answer to anyone except yourself. How important is that for you?

What about control? This is very different than mere freedom. Freedom is doing what you want. Control is controlling what you want and then doing it. Control is never having to listen to anyone but yourself. Control is totally manipulating every aspect or your life. Control is choosing what you want, what y...

My friend posted a status this morning about not taking things for granted, 'cause you never know when they'll be gone. Well, while the idea is greatly overused, I liked the status anyway because usually, if someone posts something like that, they're missing something they took for granted once and now don't have, and when someone likes your status, it makes you feel better, so I liked her status in hopes of making her feel better.
Anyway, reading her status made me wonder... Have I lost anyt...

Let's imagine this: you are God. You are in Your Heaven. And you look down and see all the little people that You created, that You give life to, that You ultimately control. And here they are trying to deny You, and ignore You and do their own little thing and deny that You exist. You've offered them a way of life, but they don't want it. 
So, I'd be up in my Heaven with my all-powerful self, like, fine! Do what you want! You look pretty retarded and I tried to help you, and you refused, and...

NOTE: you will notice that my posts are not very encouraging if you do not believe in God. That is because without God, there is no hope; no control; nothing to believe in. If you do not know God, my email is on the contact page: let me know if you want to know more about Him, and I will be thrilled to help you. He wants you to know Him. Do not turn Him out! However, if you have no desire to hear about God, there is very little I can do for you. I might can make you laugh. Help you loosen up....

Kings, presidents, and all other forms of rulers come and go, but God is always in control. He was in control of the election. Let God be God, and remember that He allowed the man who is once again our president to be over us, and we are to show this man the respect due to him. When you remember that God is always, always, ALWAYS in control, everything seems so much brighter :)

All right, well, anyone who's been on here lately can probably tell that I've been having a hard time with a couple of things.  No, really, I have! Mainly that there's a lot going on and I've been very concerned about a lof of people, but most of all that one of my best friend's goes to boot camp in January. Except that Thursday, they changed 'January'  to 'Monday'. Either this Monday or the next one. Okay, so I might have been a bit upset (not that I told him). And once again I found myself ...

Let me guess: you're terribly annoyed that I have the gall to put my political views online?  It's not like there are all ready a billion other people complaining on twitter and facebook about who they want to be president and why anyone who disagrees with them is not only wrong, but also supports socialism, SOPA, and hates puppies?  Yeah, it's stretching towards the absurd lately.
Don't worry, I'm not here to tell you who to vote for, or everything that you hate/love based on your preferred ...
