The title: I was watching a movie on TV with my grandma. I came in in the middle of it and this woman was getting beat up after trespassing on some property to interview a drug lord. I was like "gosh!" and then my grandma was like "didn't she learn the first time?" and I was like, "what, she got beat up before?" and my grandma was like "yeah, she was in the hospital". So then I was like..."oh, that sucks". And in the end she dies, but the world changes because of it. No, I can't tell you what movie it was, just watch UPN next week it'll probably be on again.
Moving Right Along: I visited my home church today. I haven't been there since I left for college. It was so cool to go back there. It was relatively how I'd left it. We still have the same pew, the same families sit around us. I wish I could've heard my pastor preach, but since he's gotten sick, he usually has guest preachers. So I learned about "Not being ashamed of the gospel", then the pastor took a sharp left and just started yelling and I couldn't pay attention anymore.
I'm not ashamed of the gospel, I just don't know how to relate it to people. People don't seem to really want to change. People don't seem to care about their souls. How can I get people to care about their souls? Moses had so much trouble trying to get the Israelites to stop complaining and follow him to what was going to be their new awesome home. It's basic human nature, people don't see what's good for them. They get set in their ways. There was a song or saying or something that just says "Try Jesus". But people don't really give him a chance do they? They say a prayer, once every 2 years or only when something is wrong and go to church on Christmas and then when that doesn't work they're like "well, I prayed and nothing happened", but they'll play the lottery everyday for a year, or place their beliefs in other random earthly things like a job or a lover and see that it's not working. Well what makes you rest your faith in them for so long? Is it because you can see them? I can't see God, but I don't need to. I can feel Him.
But that's not even what I wanted to talk about...even though I just spent two lengthy paragraphs on it...I think I wanted to talk about is time.
Time is a really weird thing to me. When you're having fun it's too short, when you're bored it's too long. Time heals all wounds. Time is a precious resource. I want to no longer worry about time. Sometimes I live life like I'm in a race, but I'm starting to question what I'm racing against. I have lots of time, I think. I don't feel like I'm dying anytime soon, so I should just enjoy life. Quality time with life.
Success: Even if you only live a short life, all that'll will matter is how you lived it. That's how you measure the success you achieved in your life.
