Note to self: Be dumb. Learn right.

There are many possible reasons why things are the way they are. However, there is only ever one correct reason or combination of reasons and truth holds, you never REALLY know the reason until you know the reason. For instance, in my picture, there is really only one right answer as to why those scissors are set the way they are and I could make some really good guesses as to why it might be like that. But truth is, I don't really know why until I know why, until I find who put them there and ask them why. Thus, I shouldn't pretend to know the answers, right. John Pryor has always taught me to take everything to the nth degree. So if I believed this to be completely true, I would apply it to every aspect of my life.

God made the earth. I don't really know this. I BELIEVE this with all my heart.

I think one reason people tend to get worked-up when Christians try to share the good news with them is because they try to tell people that what we believe is fact. In the spiritual world, this is fact. However, in this world, this is not fact. It's a theory. This is what people call forcing your religion on people.

One thing that was made apparent to me today is that you can't come from you're own perspective on everything, especially when you're trying to get other people to think the way you think. You've got to take on the perspective of a dumb person, otherwise you learn things are the way they are because they are, not because of why they really are.

I also realized that what I believed is a big jump. Think about it. If I came up to you and said, " I believe that an all-powerful being who has ALWAYS existed created everything and then had a son. His son was born of a virgin human girl and he was perfect. He never sinned and performed many miracles. He healed many people with a touch of his hands and fed thousands with little food. He walked on water, too. I also believe that He was crucified and after being put in a tomb for three days rose from the dead and ascended into the heavens, which is a place that Christians go when they die. So I'm going to spend my whole life worshiping and serving God, whom I cannot literally physically see, touch, hear, smell, or taste."

Does that seem a little ridiculous?

When someone believes this and then says that it's stupid to think that the earth came into existence from a ball of matter that exploded, I find it a little hard to take in. That is, coming from a dumb person's point of view. Anyways, just some thoughts.





Just recently I've started to realize how much the world affects me. It's sad and it makes everyday a battle to overcome what is constantly thrown in my face. I also think I'm lazy. I thought about the concept of laziness the other day and it made me a little sick. I feel like things would be a lot easier if I just stopped making excuses and did what needed to be done.

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna, come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know...
Home, home, where I wanted to go
