ok now this challenge is really not cool

well as most everyone who knows me knows i have a theory on women to explain their behavior: "Women are crazy" that is the simple fact and it gets even worst once a month(you know) but still i put up with the females in my life because i enjoy there company and what guy doesnt but some times its hard just to keep company with some girls you know because the way i deal with the crazy times is trying to be funny and usually something like a hug or something just cause im a "touchy" person i guess but its how i am but i really feel i cant do that and when i do it i just feel like im failing and it sucks but idk how else to deal with things like that. but thats all i got for today no real well thought out ideas just annoyance.

I HATE THIS CHALLENGE!!

I've restarted it last week and its so difficult and confusing because there are somethings that are just part of my day to day interactions and there are some things that i think might be flirting but others don't and even vise versa and it drives me insane because I'll tell a girl she looks good and if i told her to not let me flirt with her she'll go "You better not be flirting with me!" i mean is it wrong for me to tell some one they look particularly good on a day because lets face it the people we tell that they look good on some day we think look good on most any day just more so on that particular one and it drives me nuts that now i don't even know if i can compliment, come in physical contact with, or even just look at a girl with out violating the challenge and its annoying thats all i have to say.

Passion of the Christian (pt.3)

well we've come to the third and final part of my little preching and now i want to talk about our passion as people which is defined as "a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything" which i believe anyones passion should be the persuit of truth, wisdom, and love which for me means pursuing God because God is where i want to look for guidance in and to all these things and more. but to all of us it means different things but i think we all can agree its good to have a passion like the one described in Romans 12: 9+10 "9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves." and that is all you can really do well i have nothing else on the subject but after this it's just gonna be my thoughts again so God bless.

Passion of the Christian (pt.2)

In my last post I told you about the hate aspect of passion and let me tell you it was a Debby downer but i have good news now we get to talk about love. I mean love is only the entire focus of this challenge as well as like the biggest focus of the Bible I would even be so bold as to say the Central focus of Christianity, and why not love is by far the most powerful of the emotions God has given us if not then how can you explain all the many songs about love in one form or another even if its only physical love. love is so powerful that it can make you do crazy unbelievable things and if you don't believe me here is an example you will know but may not think of in this way the movie "Taken" about a man rescuing his daughter from a human trafficking operation in Europe is actually a love story about a father's overwhelmingly powerful love for his daughter. Do you really get that i mean really, really get that? because he was willing to sacrifice everything for his child and so was God because if not how could he have done what he did as it says in what is arguably the most famous verse of the Bible John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." did you get that it didnt say for God so felt sorry for The world or for God so hated satan but "For God so LOVED the world" its because of love that God has done all that he has done and is still doing today.In my first passion blog i told you the definition for passion well let me offer you another one "the sufferings of a martyr." what an appropriate definition to such a powerful word seeing how God's passion for us led to the passion of his son Jesus.

Passion of the Christian (pt.1)

OK so this is my first blog in awhile and the first thing I wanted to do is to look at the sides of passion which is defined as "any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate" . first let me talk about the less pleasant subject of hate. This challenge has made me passionate in so many ways and for this blog posting I'll talk about the things I hated such as the fact that i stopped blogging because i felt as though i had run out of things to talk about and that I was writing for no one and on top of all that i quit the challenge and that made me hate myself because it makes me feel so inadequate as a Christian because it says in scripture "11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age," (titus 2:11-12)and I completely fell short of what of that expectation and still do on a daily basis but there is still hope because there is more to passion than just hate.

MY answer

So the questions I'm asked always leave my mind spinning thinking about what i think the answer is so for the last question I was asked I think the answer is that society has diluted our sense of what is right. As time goes on people change including things that are exceptable and things that are not so I think just the changing times and passiveness of people who know what is right lead to our losing our way u know the whole "all it takes for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing." but a previous question is y do we do these things we do and I think it's because we all have this place in our heart that needs to be filled with love and we are Persuing it to the best of our abilities.

I have no witty title

Yesterday i tried to fit too much of a some what complex series of thoughts without success; what came out instead was a jumbled confusing mess of rammbling ideas. since im aware of what i did let me clearify: i was trying to talk about appreciation of the female form as God would have us do it by equivilating him to a father and an artist which both help create things which are beautiful and that the artist or father would want to be appreciated for all that they and taken care of but it didnt come out that way so i appologize and would like to try and answer a question that came up from my last post because i said we do certain things "almost instictually" and i was asked why so i say because we were created with this desire to love someone we just kinda got out of control with it and he said what any 3 year old would say when you think your done with a conversation: "why"... he said why did we lose sight of how we are suppose to love? why would you ask me that!? I dont think anyone could answer that with a for sure true answer. but today im just gonna leave it at that question because im gonna think,sleep, read, and pray on it and hopefully find the answer
