| | Hello. I worked on my powerpoint exam for about 3 hours today. That was fun in itself. I drank coffee throughout that time, so I guess that made it a bit more enjoyable. Nothing to much going on. My dad and I got our credit cards in the mail today for the business he's starting. He is the one making it, I'm not, but he included my name on it so I can be a part of it. Which is pretty cool. So I'm looking forward to that getting up and running then maybe I can quit the job I have. Haha.. Maybe. I don't like that certain people read this.. it's awkward. Usually everyone I talk with on here I don't know in person. So when someone that I do know in person finds me on here it's kinda like ehhhhhh I block you now! Yea you know who you are!!! Lol. I never have blocked anyone but maybe it's time I do. Hahaha. Just to prevent misunderstandings or stupid arguements about my views. Most of the people I associate with aren't very religious or think it's dumb. I wish I had more friends that had similar views to mine. I like my friends alot, don't get me wrong, I'm nowhere near perfect. I don't know if I'll ever reach that point where I'm comfortable pointing the finger. Nevertheless I still seem to always point the finger haaa. But will I ever even have a chance to reach it hanging around with people who don't want to follow God?
I hear about christian bands that call themselves christians but don't classify their music as christian. They say things like, "Oh we don't want to come off too preachy or shove our views down someone's throat," or "You can't get far when you label yourself as christian music". In my opinion that's being ashamed of your beliefs. Being ashamed that you have faith, or think that you have faith. What glory does that bring to God that you call yourself a Christian and yet avoid that label because of worry you won't fit in right with the mass conformity of present day culture. Oh you stick out that's no good!!! It's just my opinion. It even makes sense. You'll be more successfull with today's youth by not labeling yourself Christian. By generically categorizing yourself into the thousands of genres no one will ever find out your a Christian and make fun of you. That's just the way I see it.
It's kinda like when your in school and the teacher makes a joke about Jesus and everyone laughs and your the only one that doesn't. It makes you feel like wow, I'm the only one in this classroom that realizes it's wrong to laugh about a man who suffered a horrific death for our sins. I remember now, it was on halloween and there was a kid dressed up as Jesus going from class to class and it was after that he cracked the joke. Whatever anyways, the respect nowadays is really dwindling. The one thing I really need to work on is returning evil for evil. It's so hard. It feels like they're getting away with something if you don't come back with some obscene comment. I really need to work on that.
