It's a bona fide fact. People look up to me. For no apparent reason, other than the fact that I'm crazy tall. I never asked to be tall, but it sure is awesome. Thanks God.
Ahem... so I let Captain Obvious write the first couple sentences for this post. He may not be as tall as I am, but he's about as transparent as you can get. I don't care what people say about him he's still a great friend.
I'd like to talk about my ambitions for this year, and how they pertain to this new blog... I have been considering blogging more, as my Xanga is now RIP.
In reality, we broke up... or rather, just grew apart. Relationships are the same way. If you don't spend time with someone, you eventually get so out of touch with their life that you don't even know that person anymore.
The same thing is true with blogs as well as God. Let me explain.
God created us to love Him, and to be in relationship with Him. We can't really love God if we don't know Him, and the only way to know Him is though His word. You can't love God anymore than you love his His word. You certainly can't obey Him more than you obey His word.
His word is alive and tells us who He really is. Lots of us are in love with the idea or concept of God. We as christians, have been ingrained with the notion, (and rightly so) that we ought to love Him so we attempt to conjure up that "love feeling" on our own, then get distressed because the feeling fades and we can no longer feel God's love, or our love for Him.
The reason we can't feel it, however, is because we don't take the time to get to know Him. We don't know Him until we read his word. It's similar to being in love with the idea of being in love with someone, talking about it, then not really taking time to get to know the person that we think we're in love with. We need to read, know and meditate on God's word in order to live and to love. It's tough. It will help me get closer to God this year. It will help me live an original life.
I've noticed. That when I write. I speak in more complete sentences and I are sound more american. Okay, really though.
The purpose of this blog is not to act stupid online, (I do that enough in RL) but rather to share what I hope will be some useful, interesting and occasionally humorous information.
Things I do not want my blog to become:
Cheesy, trite, or cliche one-liners.
A monotonous personal diary, updated hourly regardless of the triviality of new events. i.e.
- 1/1/08 Stayed up till after 12.
- 1-1/2-08 Woke up to post here.
- 1/2/08 Slept in late.
What this blog is about:
At the same time, I wish to journal things that I have done so that when '09 rolls around, I'll look back and say, "Wow, look at all that happened this year. I couldn't have done better myself."
I want to script out my life so I can plan for a better future. As a man thinks in his heart, so he becomes.
Your input and encouragement as a fellow internet neighbor, is highly prized by yours truly.
It must be kind of random and zany. Occasionally bombastic. Like me. =D
I want to commit this blog to the will of my heavenly father.
Peace, to all my people... All 2 of you.
