A Collection of my Thoughts

I have a friend who doesn't believe in God. He's smart and a nice guy, but without faith. So I'm going to try to use this to devise something I can give to him.

He says he's realistic; he won't believe in what he can't see. But if we could see God, or hear him, or touch him, etc. then there would be no such thing as faith. Everyone would know he existed, and the world would ceise to be free willed right?

But maybe

Maybe he's looking for something physical. Something of this world...Maybe a guy with a beard, maybe a beam of light, maybe a burning bush. Maybe he expects something of God. But what I think is God isn't material, but what you see when someone agree's to come to church with you for the first time, or when someone stops to help you pick up your dropped groceries, or when someone lets you stay at their house when you couldn't be home.

God gives us many wonderful, beautiful things. It is a shame if you can't see that. Maybe if he's looking for something awe-inspiring, something spectacular, something God like...just look around...

Good Night

God Bless

I lied. Ever happen to you? It happened to me. I'll not stop using xanga. Nuff said.

So life now...

Finished a semester of ICC recently. Wasn't bad, but could have gone lots better. I was lucky to have some nice teachers. I have heard others aren't as. But overall, ok.

Finding funding for another year of ICC will be difficult, but not impossible. I put out some apps, and got a response (^.^). Lowes shall be getting me in for an interview soon.

Along with ICC funding, I'll have to start supporting myself. I am moving out (circumstances unmentioned) and shall attempt living solo...er...well, with roomates. It will be closer to ICC and the church then before.

But the biggest deal with my life at the moment, isn't my report card, or what I will be working, or even where I will be living...The biggest christian influence in my life is leaving.

Lee is special enough to get his own paragraph =)

Lee has done more for my spiritual life then the rest of the world combined (yes, including church camp). He helped me in times of need and supported me in endeavors i undertook. His departure leaves me assuming he's not leaving to "get a new change of scenery". But regardless of why, I will use what he tried to teach, tell, and show me while here. People need to be loved. People need to be helped. People are not as different that we need massive barriers separating us. We are God's people, not God's denominations. Just because we go to different churches (or don't) doesn't mean one is right and others are not. I do not believe God would let it get so bad as only one sect of Christianity would get into Heaven. It is not mine, nor yours, place to decide this. Live in fellowship and love. Be a servent toward one another, as Jesus did. Love God with all your heart. The world is divided, and there is enough God to go around. What I try to do, honestly, is look at it not like this: He's a catholic/methodist/jew/muslim/hindu...but look at it like this: He is a child of God.

I may have butchered the point he tried to convey to me, but what I got out of it is good enough for me.

I know I have obstacles ahead. I know it will be hard. I know I might fail. But...

...God...

...loves...

...me...

I will miss you Lee, God Bless everyone,

Goodnight
