the following are some lyirics to a song that got me thinking...Waiting on the world
me and all my friends we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
me and all my friends we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could
now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change
it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change...
So, the first few times i heard this song i thought it was really cool what the artist (john mayer) was talking about. then after hearing it a few more times, and listening to the words, i got to thinking, (and this is not to say that the whole song is wrong...there is some truth to it also) why should we just wait on the world? if we did, we'd all probably become suicidal sooner or later. This is why Jesus told us to "go and make disciples of all nations." if the world would change for the better all on its own than why on earth would there be any point in telling people about jesus christ? there wouldnt be. I know that john mayer isnt a christian (i am not bashing him) and so he is just singing what he believes to be true, but i find it helpful to analize things, it always helps me grow in my understanding of different issues. So, suffice to say....speak the gospel to everyone with the boldness given to you by the holy spirit, there is a reason for it and it works.
Love Love Love.

exactly! Don't wait for something else! Go out and beat the crowd! You'll be seen as a hero for doing it first, even if tomorrow's actions might come with love.
I figured I might as well text/type/blog/post you since this one didn't have any thoughts on it. About my sarcasm problem, I'm better than I used to be, honestly, but dishonestly, I think it adds spice to one's life, because it in general shows my opinion on something in a very rude manner, which is generally how I get thoughts across to another person. Sometimes I say it just because I don't think it will harm anything, but I've never seen it as anything other than a joke. Your opinion on the matter improves my taste in words. TO THINK IS TO KNOW, TO KNOW IS TO BE CONVICTED, TO BE CONVICTED IS TO ACT. to not act, one chooses not to be a hero. and thus, we let the world down, and in the end, we all fall apart because we don't know the meaning of love.
