Makes Me Think
There are some things or experiences in life that make a person think. Either you think differently about a certain subject or maybe you look at life in a different way. Then there are those experiences that pretty much shake you to the core and un-hinge every bit of foundation you have right out from under you. It is in these times that your thoughts begin to take on a very shady, creepy, and confusing tone. You begin to second guess almost every other aspect of your life--decsions you've made, choices you are confronted with, etc. It is kind of like being a baseball player who has learned (just before it is his turn to bat) that bats are now outlawed. Everything you thought you knew, you begin to question. And the answers you had to every question no longer seem to apply. This is also the time that helps you grow and change and become a more stable person (as ironic as that sounds). I wonder why that is? Why are we made that way? (Because I think that we are made that way and there must be a reason we are made that way).

I've thought about that a lot as a freshman at college. It's such a challenge to confront those kind of thoughts...but I am so blessed to be in a place where I have strong friends and encouragement. When I hit that point, as cliche as it sounds, I pray. Hard. And, as even more cliche-sounding as this is, it works. :) I love that about God!
Good thoughts, Chris!

This is the kind of conversation that used to take place in "The Tent". I was just as confused about those conversations then as I am now, but at the same time I miss them.

man, these bugs are stupid. they're just walking across my desk even though there are the corpses of their own fallen all over the place. Can't they smell their dead? Maybe they can't... that's kinda sad, can't even since their own places of death. I would be sad to see myself making such stupid mistakes like that. Though I guess since God transcends time and space, heaven must too, so then maybe I am watching myself make such foolish mistakes... if I could be so lucky to make it there at least. Hmm... well even if I don't see it in heaven, I'll see it at the judgement for sure -_- ehh, bug juice... where's some 'Jesus soap on a roap' when ya need it?
hmm... well that was weird but thats what I thought of after reading it. haha, I still have that chocolate cross that everyone said I couldnt eat cause it's... well it's a cross. The cross is only important cause of the one everyone associates it with. It's not the cross that's important, it's the person on it! ...or was that just justification for eating it :P coma mas pollo!
